    So what is the ingredient that makes a cake better in Sweden than in America?

    "He" is obviously an idiot because, as everyone knows, taste is subjective.

    I have no idea. I've only had cake in Sweden. I am not too big of a fan of cake anyways. I thought cake was for kids. :laughing:

    I think I have never ever had cake "just because". Cake is for very special occassions only such as birthdays and whatever. Having cake on a normal day is not okay imo.

    Manhattan chowder just has catsup in it. That's the only difference.

    I don't make cakes very often either, but I do sometimes, and sometimes I will buy store bought cake and eat that. I love cake! It is sweet and delicious! :clapping:

    Now that we are talking about cake, I kind of want some. Maybe I'll pick up some cake tomorrow. :D

    Of course it's okay. Why wouldn't it be okay?

    If you wait til July 14, you can excuse the buying of the cake with celebrating the Bastille Day. :p

    I wish I could bake. It's a very useful skill.

    I don't need an excuse. Lol. That is so weird. I eat what I want when I want to. Why should I let someone else tell me or shame me for eating what I want? I'm not overweight. :D

    You are doing it the wrong way - my grandmother always says "before picking a girl, make sure she knows how to cook and clean." :laughing:

    However, I suspect this is her way of asking "why the f- are you still single?" :p

    Probably not an ingredient. More likely to be the varieties of cake preferred in America. Having said that, I've seen American recipes for chocolate cake where milk chocolate and white sugar were suggested. I can't even begin to imagine how bad that would taste. Any decent choc cake must contain DARK chocolate and brown or dark brown sugar.

    Fair enough. It is just me then. I used to love cake, pastries and ice cream as a child, but not so much anymore. Obviouxly, I still like it, but I don't love it.

    I like white cake with chocolate frosting. White cake is less dense and I like that kind of cake texture the best.

    Have you ever had taco lasagna? I made some of that a couple of weeks ago. Really good stuff. Much better than a regular taco.

    Now the blasphemy is on you - the only lasagna is the Bolognese. Everybody knows that!

    Judging by the name, I would guess a cake with cream and fruit/berries.
