What is your go-to type of "birthday cake"?

I like the plain white cake if it is a baked cake (even if I love chocolate, I still prefer white chocolate).

I love ice cream cake.

I love the cheesecake that my husband makes.

Share your favorites.

Chocolate cake with Chocolate icing. But I couldn't have that cake now with chocolate not being something I can eat anymore. But then, the last time I even had a cake was 2008.

It was always (since I was a kid) my mother's 3-layer carrot cake with cream cheese icing! When I was very young I wouldn't eat it b/c it had "carrots" in its name. Boy, was I happy when I finally gave in. 🙂

This was one of my faves as a kid! Can't find it for years now.

Thinking about it I asked Google where I could buy it locally and they reported 1) Joanne's Fabrics (?); 2) Target or 3) Sam's Club! 🤷‍♂️

Good idea! I'll check out a fabric store near me! 😄 Sometimes AI is not that bright. We don't have Target here anymore (Canada) and only Costco and I know they don't have it. But I am really salivating right now just thinking about it.

As a kid I always asked for chocolate cake.  After I was married my Mother in law made a sheet cake with lemon jello. That became my favorite for years.

I know. To me, it's like a big Devil Dog with ice cream instead of cream filling. 😁

We have those, have not ever checked for cake at BR. The DQ cakes are not quite the same.  But what actually is the same as we recall it from those childhood days?

I looked it up and it's called the Swiss Roll Ice Cream Cake and I also found one called Dean's that is available online via Instacart.

We have Walmart and Dairy Queen here.  Mind you I  have never been into a Dairy Queen, or any other fast food chain such as Mc Donalds or Burger King.  I will occasionally  have a Tim Horton's, soup combo though,  on the rare occassion I go to the city.  Although you can buy them in the supermarkets in the UK, my mum, would make an arctic roll.  I like to make my own too, and still do.

Now that I think about it, I haven't had an ice cream roll cake in years and would probably be better off leaving it at that. The memory may be better than today's reality.... 😉

Oh yes! I wish I could get that one here. I doubt it they deliver to Canada. 😐

Absolutely!!!!   It might be an idea for me to send one to you during this coming winter  when the temps plummet to 30c below, that way the ice cream won't defrost in transit.  lol
