For the first round of batches, I'll make 8 spots available. Depending on how well this book goes, I can increase the number of slots in my next round.

Once again, remember, play fair. If you did not get your turn now, no worries, my next round will be up soon anyway. Stay tuned.

Reminder: post an inline comment next to the available slots.

Many a kid's birthday party is celebrated with a sheet-cake version of this dessert that's topped with billows of chocolate frosting and rainbow sprinkles.

Slot 1 (Yellow Butter Cake) >> xerophthalmia (His Virgin)

Named because it's made with a pound of each of the main ingredients (flour, butter, and sugar), this cake doesn't rise much while baking, and the texture is very dense.

Slot 2 (Pound Cake) >> downmixx (Seasons)

Leavened with baking soda and baking powder, this shortened cake uses oil as its main fat rather than butter. The addition of grated carrots makes the cake extra moist. Carrot cake is also flavored with warm spices and frosted with a rich cream cheese frosting.

Slot 3 (Carrot Cake)
>> flvwerjoon (The Gatherer)

This is a foam-style cake that has no artificial leaveners. It gets its volume solely from whipped eggs. This cake takes well to being soaked in a flavored syrup (try soaking with a lemon syrup and serve with a dollop of lemon curd), layered with whipped cream and smashed berries.

Slot 4 (Sponge Cake) >> goldenmaknae5620 (Window)

Genoise is what a sponge cake is called in Italy or France. In this cake, egg yolks, whites and sugar are beaten together until mousse-like. Next, flour, and either oil or butter, are folded in. This type of sponge cake is more moist and tender than its sponge cake cousin.

Slot 5 (Genoise Cake) >> TaejinkookG3 (CEO Kim)

The classic version of this butter style cake is traditionally made with pineapple, but can be made with many varieties of fruits. The toppings are spread on the bottom of the pan, often with butter and sugar, and then topped with cake batter. After cooking, the cake is turned out so that the fruit is facing up.

Slot 6 (Upside Down Cake) >> vminfairy (Women)

This cake is made "devilish" by the addition of chocolate in the form of cocoa powder. Extra baking soda causes the crumb to have more air bubbles, giving it a light and airy texture. This rich cake is frosted with either chocolate frosting or buttercream.

Slot 7 (Devil's Food Cake) >> bubblewrap1009 (Eyes Never Lie)

The classic southern oil cake is flavored with banana, pineapple, pecans, lots of warm spices, and topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting. Created in Jamaica and originally called "Doctor Bird Cake,: this confection made its way Stateside sometime in the 1960s.

Slot 8 (Hummingbird Cake) >> Taekookstan02 (Petrichor)

Chiffon cake is a cross between a sponge and oil cake. The addition of oil gives it a richness similar to a shortened cake, and whipped egg whites and baking powder make it light and airy.

Slot 9 (Chiffon Cake) >> Midnightales_ (Erroneous Love)

Flourless Godiva chocolate cake layered with Godiva chocolate cheesecake and chocolate mousse

SLOT 10 (Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake) >> moonjin97 (Moving On)
