AAAHHHH, stale cake

I love stale cake. Daughter made a devils food cake with vanilla iceing, when she was here 2 weeks ago. And it now has the right 'crunchy' texture, not a brick, still flakes, but not a mouth full of mushy cake. Some expresso, and it makes my night. Why does stale cake taste so good when you are by yourself.

'V' is on, going to be a good night.

I agree but only to an extent.

Not to the point where the cake itself is stale but old enough that the icing is just starting to go and is crispy is best.

Enjoy with milk.

Brownies, edges just hard and crumbly. hmmmm

I like my cake like I like my women; stale and crusty.

I've had enough stale cake for one lifetime.

When I was a resident assistant on campus, there was this deal where if parents paid the housing department, the department would order a cake from a local grocery store with the student's name on it for their birthday. RAs had to deliver the cakes.

If, after five days, the student never picked it up, we got the cake.

I had so many stale cakes.

2nd. We usually cut the cake in half and I put my half in the refrigerator and leave the other half out for the rest of the family.
