The team that sit behind me at work are having a bit of a bake off thing, the theme being 'cakes made with vegetables'. You know carrot cake, beetroot cake, that kind of thing.
I've just had a sprout muffin. It was, erm, interesting. It was like a sort of sweet roast dinner, but in cake form. Odd, can't quite work out if it was genius or revolting
Most stimulating!

once had some hash cakes with icing made with speed
that was interesting
Chocolate AND orange. That's how adventurous I am.
Disco cake,somewhere in the northern quarter of Manchester.
About 5 neon colours of Sponge mixed together with glitter icing. Dissapointingly it just tasted of Sponge cake.
Carrot cake. What kind of fool would put vegetables in a cake, vegetable?!?! Like putting fruit on pizza, just plain wrong.
Carrot cake is my 2nd favourite cake. (My favourite is a chocolate/banana/malt loaf that my wife makes.)
I think Mrs Dubs actually made a cake out of courgettes once. I don't remember it being more than once though, so must have been rubbish.

Exactly, no tomato base sauce for me thanks.
Lemon drizzle cake made with mash potato / chocolate cake made with canellini beans. Both substitutes for flour and much nicer than you might imagine.
I had chocolate cake with beetroot in the other week, I know it's not that unusual but I'd never tried it before. It's bloody lovely.
I ate some lady cake once, that was a bit rank.
From wiki:
Dhokla is a vegetarian food item that originates from the Indian state of Gujarat. It is made with a fermented batter derived from rice and split chickpeas.
Looks like sponge cake, but is savoury - I love it.
Urinal cake ain't great, I've heard. Where did I hear someone ate one when pissed? I could never be that pissed.
We've made cakes using courgette, beetroot and tomato soup (3 separate cakes, not all of those in one). All pleasant, in my opinion, but colleagues weren't impressed.
I make a rather decent beetroot 70% cocoa chocolate brownie (sometimes with a small amount of decarboxylated cannabis/coconut oil - it doesn't have so much thc content that you get a high) and both variants are damn tasty with a very gooey/moist texture.
I've also got a recipe for a courgette/poppy seed sponge that i'll have to attempt at some point.
beetroot and guinness was nice, black poos the next day and everything
There was a really good bacon cake halfway round the Gravel Dash a few years ago.
Cattle cake, with plenty of molasses. Just a wee nibble.
I still remember the space cake in Dorset, all very "A Field in England"
I've had a couple of courgette cakes but not particularly impressed. Nothing like a decent carrot cake. Sweet potato cake was a thing in Japan, quite pleasant and not as bizarre as a lot of their food!
Sprout muffin....that’s genius! Er..made me laugh anyway. I’ve been asking my wife if she could make a sprout curry, but for some strange reason, she refuses;)
Pontefract cakes are strange - and not in a particularly nice way.
Beetroot cake is very nice.
Well there ye go, I never knew there were actual carrots in a carrot cake! 😆
Mushroom cake @ Glastonbury in 1994
Not cake, but as a desert I've had Creme Brulee Calzone. Yes, that's folded pizza base filled with creme brulee. Actually I think it was creme brulee with chocolate something. Very odd.
I ate some lady cake once
Did you mean LARDY cake or was it really LADY cake ?
Haven't had a good lardy cake in years ......
Pumpkin pie (orig.North America) was nice!
Squash apple and ginger (guardian recipe) really tasty.
Durian.
Had lardy cake at the M.I.L's once.
I thought it was just a name, didn't expect it to be made with ****ing lard!
Nearly spat it all over the table.
Real cake does NOT contain vegetables 🙄
What about carrot cake?

Beetroot and/or carrot cake is ace.
Beetroot and dates are great in choccy brownies.
A very clean living ex once confused grams and ounces when making a giggly cake for our Millennium party.
Interesting do.

Hate to break it to you but so is sugar beet

Clue's in the name! 😆
Lardy cake is fab. Perfect post ride food. (Pre-middle age!)
Courgette and lime cake at a brilliant little Italian deli/coffee shop in Sheffield.
Was bloody gorgeous...
courgette cake worked well
Black bean brownies - uncooked was ok
White bean Blondies
Cloutie Dumpling is a bit odd. Nice though.

I may have some bad news for you about Welsh cakes.
Parsnip & orange cake.
Victoria sponge made with potato.
oh yes made a potato cake with passion fruit that was nice and no way you woud have know it was potato
Carrot cake is great. Heard of a similar cake using parsnip which I'd love to try some day.
My wife has made chocolate cake including tomato puree. Makes it nice and moist. Apparently mayonnaise also works nicely but you have to draw the line somewhere!
Mystery cake at a weekend piss up with friends turned out to be pesto cake. Well liked and quite surprised when found out what the flavour was.
Quite like vegetable cakes where they are the flavour, not just to bulk or keep moist.
Experimented a bit with meat cakes, ham and feta came out quite good.

Ooooh get you buying the posh sugar...
I once got given a savoury tuna sandwich cake for a birthday here in Estonia a few years back. I was a little disappointed at the time as i am a big fan of a traditional jam sponge cake.
Lady at work once brought in a vegan un-cooked (must have been set somehow?) nut and seed cake thing. I wasn't brave enough to try it based on it's looks and smell, and the one person that was spat it out...
Would have been a bit less awkward if it wasn't her birthday, and she hadn't spent most of the evening before making it.
I made this for an office bake off once

But being a wheat freak and given my connections I used gluten free flour and the Red Bull cola instead of normal cola, was very well received.
