Being the avid foodie/cook that I am, when I saw the One Single Impression prompt for this Sunday: Naked, wouldn’t you know it:
NAKED CAKE came to mind.
This story goes a long way back in my blogging history.
Suffice to say, the cake pictured above was named Naked Cake many moons ago by Tania Densiuk, a (former, sadly not blogging anymore) blog pal who also shared a love of all things food.
I hope you like my culinary haiku!
And here’s a link to the complete recipe for this oh, so yummy cake from my cookbook and also one of my foodie/green newspaper columns.
Valentine’s day is just around the corner, you might want to keep this one in mind to make for your sweetie!♥
Wishing You a Fun and Happy Week!





Naked cake – what a thought
This is great. Makes me think icing is so unnecessary!
This is great. I love this cake and your foodie haiku is yummy. Forking up the crumbs, sounds like a good plan.
Stop. You are making me hungry.
That’s what I call a tasty post.
No icing necessary, though I immediately thought of Sticky Toffee Pudding from the UK. Yumm. Nice take on the prompt. Now I am hungry! My best, Rob.
what fun, cake to the last crumb; an interesting take on today’s prompt
much love…
Hi LL, Thanks for stopping in. It is an interesting concept, tastes good too.
Hi SandyC, Naked is the way to go with this cake.
Hi Joe, I had fun writing my first foodie haiku.
I agree, this cake is so yummy. I’d like a piece right now.
Hi Lisa, You can always make one soon.
So easy too.
Hi Tony, Thanks friend.
Hi Loch Rob, Glad you enjoyed this tasty offering.
Hi Gillena, First thought that came to mind for me when I saw this prompt. I am a foodie to the core.
Happy Week, G
Looks delish! Will have to check out the recipe!
i would love cake in any form too – naked or not..:)
Somehow I associate naked with tarts rather than cakes but that is just me
Nice twist on the prompt.
bet it’s delicious! a naked plate will be left alone
I want it I want it now, don’t need to dress it up, then again don’t it would never make through the borders, they always keep the sweets and eat them I hate them sigh x
Hi Robyn, It’s a keeper! One of my all time favs for this kind of cake.
Hi Lady in Read, I’m not a big cake fan but I love this one, carrot cake too. I love your blog name btw!
Hi J Cosmos, LOL, I hear ya.
Hi Totomai, Yes indeedy.
Hi Lorraine, You could always make one L, tres easy and soooo good. Let me know if you give this recipe a try. I make cupcakes out of the batter sometimes too and that works great, just bake about 10 minutes less.
Happy Baking and Week, G
Crumbs are what I love most!
Very different take on the prompt!
Oh my! Poetry AND a recipe for chocolate cake! This must be heaven!
