Im glad someone mentioned cream puffs. I was thinking of them but couldnt think of the word. That would have been bothering me all night
We called them cream puffs, my mom made them sometimes but not often because we liked them and would have gotten fat on them. Now I can't stand them, too sweet.
i'm used to the op being called cream puffs, and this thing being called an eclaire. one of either with a cup of coffee with a lot of cream but no sugar in it, goes a long way.
Even for plain cakes i can name a few off the top of my head. Devils food. Angel cake. Chocolate cake. Yellow cake. Birthday cake. And thats just a few of the many i can think of right away and im not even a cake eater.
