Which would be the ideal desert island cake?

Question

Picture the scene: you are on a cruise and the ship hits an iceberg. You think that you've got a place on a lifeboat, but have just enough time to snaffle some cake (a rucksack full).

Would it be battenberg, Jaffa Cakes or something else?

Answer 1

coffee cakes that way you can crumble it up so you can fit more plus its prolly really fatty so you can survive longer

plus i just like the crumblies on top =]

Answer 2

Iceberg????? in the Caribbean????

oh well, at that point I would not be picky as any food I would grab, what ever is closest, but favorite cake was the flour-less chocolate cake

Answer 3

mmm...

Soft, crumbly, 5 layer coffee cake with toffee chunks baked in and a caramel drizzel to top it all off (no icing, that's too messy to shove your sack full)

Now I'm hungry

Answer 4

I would go for the cheesecake. If there wasn't any of that them probably the German chocolate.

Answer 5

any cake with a boat and an emergency transponder baked into it!!!lol!!

Answer 6

classic style chesecake or peach cobbler!!!

Answer 7

I wouldn't mind what sort it was if I was in such a rush, provisions are provisions

Answer 8

Christmas cake :)

Answer 9

Ahoy there me hearties!

That is indeed quite a perplexing quandry I hope never to find myself faced with! However - I think that out of the above choices - it would have to be the battenburg.

I am much more drawn - as it is indeed a desert island and the stay there may well be quite long - to the Sherry Trifle. I know that it is not stictly a cake - but one must surely argue its merits due to the addition of 'sponge fingers'.....................

Answer 10

jello yum..........

Answer 11

Robinson Crusoe tea cakes.

Answer 12

i would personally snap up some scones left over from breakfast and go directly to the ballroom where i would drown myself in scotch at the piano as the water washes in....

but i am a fighter...so, i would down the scotch and struggle for provisions.

when we get to the desert island i can make you dessert out of just about anything we find. no worries! you can have your cake and eat it until help arrives.
