German Chocolate Cake.
I laugh in the face of the Cheesecake eaters, Cannoliers, Tiramusu elitists and Gannachiers.
German Chocolate Cake is where it's at.

(12,008 posts)Cake is a worthless product which has been sold to the blind, tasteless masses to derive them of pleasure. Tiramisu (I don't know what tiramusu is) is what's served for desert, along with a shot of espresso or turkish coffee, in heaven. If you don't like it, go pray to your god, Satan to keep making the world suck with chocolate cake. Enjoy the hell on earth you've created for others who would rather have pleasurable food products. Laugh, laugh, laugh at their suffering.
Except for the "turtle cake" my mom makes. That stuff is awesome.

(12,132 posts)Is worth warring over. Bad tiramisu is still better than German Chocolate.
WhereTF did Germans get coconuts anyway? How did that get to be German? And why would they ruin perfectly respectable (though not Tiramisu stature) chocolate cake by dropping Gilligan food all in it?
Coconut is a pox on dessertkind.

Can also be used as a total substitution for an entire meal.

(2,682 posts)but I make it with french bread -- gives it more texture. I also top it with a lemon sauce. In fact, in a restaurant, if they don't have the sauce, I won't order it.

(426 posts)So sweet the sugar makes your teeth ache....even if you have dentures! Second would be cream puffs, the real kind. We used to get them from the Helm's man, anyone remember those portable bakery trucks in Southern California? That was my favorite summer breakfast.
