Actually, I really do - a silvenberry cheesecake from a gourmet supplier being one of the most intense food experiences I can recall in recent memory: not too sweet, with an amazingly complex and lush flavour.However, I also like a cake that goes something like this, very much <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> :[sblock]Middle Eastern Orange Cake2 large oranges, washed6 eggs, beaten250 grams ground almonds250 grams sugar1 teaspoon baking powderBoil oranges in a small amount of water in a covered saucepan, for about 2 hours. Allow to cool, cut open, remove pips, chop roughly.Preheat oven to 190° C, butter and flour a springform tin (one that's big enough so that the batter is no deeper than 6 cm). Blend oranges and remaining ingredients thoroughly (in food processor). Pour batter into prepared tin. Bake 1 hour. If cake is still very wet, cook a bit longer. Cool in tin before gently turning out.Serve with citrus segments and thick cream.[/sblock]Disclaimer: That might not be the one. It was the closest match I could find, I think. I've never made one, just eaten a couple of slices of one, twice. Yum! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I'll make one of these someday soon, so I'll know for sure. Hope it is right!Lemon cake-ish things would be next in rank, I guess. Then homemade spiced fruitcake, courtesy of my gf's grandma. That's a longtime fave, the recipe for which I'm not sure I could prise from her, though.Basically, if it's got fruit in it (or on it, I guess) I'm more likely to like it.edit --- that orange cake recipe was apparently based on <a href="http://www.foodlovers.co.nz/recipes/display.php?id=255" target="_blank">this</a> one, which is a little different, mainly for the inclusion of cardamom. Sounds good!</blockquote>
