What's your favorite cake?

I'm having a little birthday celebration for a good friend on Saturday and am looking for a good birthday cake. I was thinking of making the cookies n cream cake from Annie's blog, but I'm open for suggestions. What are your favorites?

That cookies n' cream cake is pretty awesome.  DH's most favorite is the PB chocolate cake: http://annieseats.wordpress.com/2008/07/23/reese%E2%80%99s-cup-chocolate-peanut-butter-cake/

My favorite is this version of the perfect party cake: http://annieseats.wordpress.com/2008/04/06/perfect-party-cake/

And, I will be posting a truly phenomenal fall-themed cake tomorrow, if you think that might be up your alley :)

This is from a Colorado local cookbook that has been around since the 70s. It's been the standard birthday cake in our family, and is still the cake I make anytime I have a reason to make a cake.

It's not healthy, but it is OMG good.

I like either red velvet with cream cheese icing or yellow with chocolate icing. However, I made the cookies n' cream cake from sctiger's blog for my sister's bday. Not sure if it is the same as Annie's cookies n' cream cake, but it was delicious! Even my bf (who doesn't like sweets that much) and my dad (who apparently doesn't like chocolate cake) loved it.
