Maybe she’s a normal cake woman?

This will sound facetious, but I recommend getting her a cake she likes. I don’t know if is too late to ask questions or do sleuthing, but if there was some kind of cake from her past she really liked that she hasn’t had in a long time that might be ideal. Like for my wife that was ice cream cake which isn’t as much a thing anymore as it was in our childhood. For me that is certain recipes my mom made in my childhood.

Dark chocolate, almond, orange, and an herbal liquer like Strega or Chartreuse or Galliano L’Autentico

Preppy Kitchen and his videos is how I learned to bake. He has some good cake stuff on there
