    Cake and Pie - Favorites?

    Cake - Carrot (wife's recipe)
    Pie - Cherry or Apple

    (by the way, cheesecake will be counted as a pie)

    Rubarb is my favorite. A close tie for second is apple, peach, pumpkin and mince meat.

    Cake: Chocolate with my Mom's malted milk chocolate icing..

    Pie in the fruit category? Ground Cherry ( it is a Swiss/Mennonite thing, ground cherries are a weed like plant that drops its fruit (ground cherry) in a little opaque lantern like covering

    Filling Pie? Hickory nut pie, ( it is a Mennonite thing) made a lot like pecan but with the prized hickory nut...

    Fine job there Z. Most exellant crust. I did a Blackberry cobbler a few days ago. Came out pretty tasty. Oh yea and with homemade vanilla Ice cream. I guess Banana Cream is my favorite though. And as far as cake mmm Carrot or Red Velvet. Of course never turn down a piece of chocolate lava cake.

    It is a heavy, moist, sweet white cake that is AMAZING!!!!

    You cannot eat just one piece, but it is so heavy that you can barely get thru the second.

    ... but I think it could be argued that Pecan pie is just as popular.

    It's probably much easier to list the few I like the least, but will still eat. Mince and Rhubarb are my least favorite and if on my deathbed and I had to pick one I would have to pick a fresh peach pie. It's a good thing I have will power, or more appropriately, don't have access to fresh pies every day otherwise I may be tipping the scales at some astronomical weight.

    Cakes, chocolate with chocolate icing, lemon cake and angel food would top the list.
