Angel Food Cake v.s Devil Food's Cake. . . Decide, which is better?

Angel's food cake when I'm in the mood for something light. Devil's when I crave chocolate. I guess that makes me....... Lawful Neutral? :smalltongue:

The obvious decision would be a layer cake that has Devil's Food on the bottom and Angel's Food on top. Perhaps throw in some Red Velvet in the middle, for no reason other than, "Its Awesome":smallbiggrin:

Neither, lemon drizzle cake is better.

Devil's Food. I just like chocolate more. Though Angel's Food is best with strawberries.

Devil' Food, hands down. Not that I'll reject Angel's Food if it's offered.

Pretty much this.

I have to say, though, I really thought that someone had lost their mind and actually started up a new thread mere moments after Roland locked the old one. Well done.

I saw this and thought 'Lockbait!'
But now I think I like Death by Chocolate cake best.
Also pumpkin cake is nice.

Devilfood. And I don't mean that namby pamby chocolate silliness you people CALL devilfood. I mean actual devilfood cake, with souls baked in with the batter, just like mother used to make.

Sadly, you can't get souls in jars at the local bodega anymore. Now they only sell that "Imitation Soul" stuff.

In all seriousness, chocolate wins my heart nine times out of ten. Though my grandma's marshmallow whip on angelfood is pretty damn good.

I posit that the usual cake binary of angel's food-devil's food is a false dichotomy.

I contend that the proper negation of angel's food cake is rightly carrot cake; not only because angel's food cake must be served with strawberries, aligning the fruit-vegetable binary, but also because of the heaven-earth binary, given that the one is largely composed of ethereal air, and the other of moist roots.

And secondly, I contend that to correctly negate the diabolical nature of the devil's food cake, one must utilize the demonic nature of sex-in-a-pan. While both are rich in tasty, tasty sin, the one is an orderly and layered affair largely eaten with forks (a telling image), and yet the other is an amorphous mass able to be consumed in no tidy fashion.

But to understand why this reordering of the cake binary is correct, it must be experienced sensually, and to this end I exhort that the best way to take cake is from lovers' fingers.

You could do the legwork yourself and collect the souls you need from random bystanders, Sounds delicious.

Angels' Food. If only because my mother, at an early age, trained me not to like chocolate too much, so that she could have it all.

No. I have a court order preventing me from collecting the souls of anyone without their informed consent. My counterargument of "Don't sign the injunction or I'll eat your SOOOOUUuulll... your honor," was swiftly rebutted by the judge ordering the bailiff to rapidly and repeatedly brutalize me with a nightstick, to the horror of bystanders. It prevented me from concentrating long enough to devour the judge, because... well. Because. It was distracting.

So the injunction stands, and since it was signed in the blood of an innocent under a full moon I can't weasel my way out of it. On the upshot, the bailiff and I are meeting for drinks next friday, and I've convinced him to bring the nightstick again. Hopefully I'll have just as much trouble concentrating friday night through... oh, I'll be optimistic and hope for sunday evening.

I've never heard of either, but according to this thread, the Devil one has more chocolate, so I'm going to have to go with that.

I am aware. Alton Brown, for the win.

The point is, pie>>>cake. :smalltongue:

Too bad, I'd share some of my collected souls but I need them.
Also chocolate is just too dry, and angelfood tastes like slightly sweet nothing. Lemon drizzle is moist, delicious and filling.

And for a real answer to this thread I think I like Devil's Food Cake better. Although not nearly as much as Black Forest Cake. Or banana rum cake.

I'm actually not much of a cake person. I don't like the sponginess, I guess.

That said, chocolate is awesome. The light-colored stuff is less so, so devil's food.

I was going to vote for Devil's Food, but I think I need to try this now. :smallbiggrin:

I've never had either. Any good cake, however, contains chocolate. Usually chocolate ice cream... My bro does a good job with the cocoa powder though, causing a non-ice cream cake to actually surpass ice cream cake for the brief periods of time when his cakes exist.

He makes the chocolate cake without cake mix and the chocolate frosting without canned frosting, and he knows what he's doing. It's not good for the waistlines of anyone with line of sight and line of effect to his cakes.

The second best cake is a 2-layer ice cream cake with a chocolate fudge flavor on the bottom, crunchies between, and a very coffee flavor on top, with chocolate fudge instead of icing. (Icing is gross on ice cream. Too sugary, I guess.)

The 3rd best and so forth up through at least the 25th best are other arrangements of ice cream in a cake shape. After all of those, would be brownies in the shape of a cake, followed by various chocolate cakes. After those, the list ends. There are no good cakes that do not employ the use of chocolate... And some cakes with chocolate are simply a good attempt, but not good enough to be delicious. Vanilla cake with chocolate mousse, for example of an "I'd almost eat it" cake.

So I am clearly on the side of good, as is all that is chocolaty.

BLASPHEMY!!! Nothing can be too sugary. *Begins munching on spoonfuls of sugar*
No I am not really eating spoonfuls of sugar, I used to but then my teeth started to wear so...

I've had spoonfuls of sugar before. Icing on ice cream is far worse.

No it isn't Ive eaten that to, I was in food production and we would mix up batches of icing almost the size of us. what wasn't use was ours to do what we liked with, most of the time there wasn't that much left. but we would almost always have a little icing in bowls for a snack.

Icing on it's own can be fine too. I'm talking specifically about icing on ice cream. If you've ever had an ice cream cake where the outside is white instead of the dark brown is should be...

I have, But I dislike chocolate unless it is hot fudge, only then in brownies or on a hot fudge sundae. These and a few other occasions are the few in which I can stand eating chocolate. It's just so choking and horrible.

That and I like sickeningly sweet things.:smallbiggrin:
