Had a chunk of cheesecake recently that was awesome.

The "crust" was chocolate chip cookie, thick layer of real cheesecakey goodness, more chocolate chip cookie as a top layer.  [thumbsup]

Happy B-Day, Monsterlover.

Cake is one of my favorite food groups and I love to bake.

Some of my favorites in no particular order: German chocolate, redneck strawberry cake (toothache city - made with frozen berries, jello, cake mix - all the horrible redneck ingredients), buttermilk spice cake (penuche frosting and pecan praline between the layers), Japanese spice cake, and hummingbird cake (if you like carrot cake, you'll love hummingbird cake).

Desmolu - you weren't kidding about your previous experience as a pastry chef.  Those are awesome cakes!

996 forks, BoomTubes, frame sliders, CRG bar-end mirrors, vizitech integrated tail light, rizoma front turn signals, rizoma grips, cycle cat multistrada clip ons, pantah belt covers - more to come

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

Redneck Strawberry Cake (could not be easier)
One white or yellow cake mix
One small box strawberry jello
1/2 c. water
3/4 c. oil
Mix all those ingredients together and once well mixed add
4 eggs
1/2 cup frozen strawberries (the ones in the paper can, macerated, with added sugar - you know the bad ones)
Beat until the berries are pulverized

Put in greased and floured pans and bake on 350 for 30 minutes (makes 3 9" layers)

Frosting
1 stick butter
1 box powdered sugar
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. strawberries

Make as you would any buttercream.  Add strawberries gradually at the end until you get the consistency you are looking for.

This was the cake I wanted for my birthday every year.
