I prefer the heft and crispy exterior of cake doughnuts to raised. It makes me sad that doughnut shops will only have 1-2 cake options and they aren’t as exciting as the others.
And a Dunkin’ chocolate glazed has never failed me. The slight bitterness of the cocoa is nice with all the sugary goodness.

In my opinion, one of the more unheralded New York foods is the crumb cake. Sometimes known as the coffee cake, it’s an item that is so New York-centric, but somehow hasn’t made it onto the bucket lists of tourists. In my opinion, the crummier the better. I like there to be a thick layer of crumbs on top, the ideal ration sort of being half crumb, half cake. You’ve seen it beckoning for your attention in glass deli cases, or on an Entenmann’s endcap at the grocery, or in the shadow of scones and croissants at your local bakery. Hell even Drake’s makes a decent version if you’re in a pinch. Much like bagels and pizza, most places in New York make a uniformly great version of it, so there’s no need to seek out the “best”. The “best” is in fact the one that’s closest to you.

I grew up eating it, but they discontinued it in California more than a decade ago. Every time I pass it in the aisle butt display next to all the Drakes and Little Suzie’s in New York I feel gooey inside. No one on this coast seems to realize how lucky we are. It tastes like what you always want chocolate cake to taste like. It’s like when your tongue gets stuck to the roof of your mouth when you hit a really big chocolate chip in a warm cookie, but prolonged. I don’t even like chocolate cake usually but it tastes like what the cake from Matilda looks like.

It feels really nice to be able to contribute the things you think and feelings you feel and better yet, be part of a conversation online without judgement or nasty replies.

Get some green cardamom pods and rose petals (Indian markets often stock comically large packages of these for cheap). Break the pods open a bit and simmer in milk of your choice (or water if you just want a tea) for like half an hour maybe? That seems right. Or more. Add some cocoa powder if you like. Strain and enjoy.
