Naked Cake and “Foodie” Haiku for OSI ;<)

By Geraldine on January 12, 2013

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.

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

Somehow I associate naked with tarts rather than cakes but that is just me 🙂
Nice twist on the prompt.

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!
