cake party

i have been graciously invited to a cake party and i'm excited! as the name describes, it's a party where every one brings a cake (and the recipe) to share. we will have a light supper to ensure non-sugary sustenance in our stomachs before getting down to the main event of eating cake. the date is less than two weeks away and i still need to pick what cake to bring. does anyone have a favorite?

a few ladies have made decisions and will be bringing:

lady baltimore

red velvet

chocolate with bacon

orange and dark chocolate

my primal instict tells me to stick with chocolate somewhere in the dessert, but springtime lends so nicely to fruit. i have some ideas, but would love to hear yours.

My favorite cake right now is a lemon raspberry pudding cake. It's low fat, light, easy to make BUT incredibly DELICIOUS!

In the last couple months, I've tried both these cakes and they were pretty good.
