I think I disagree with the OP’s premise, at least for the Q’s I choose to answer. I can wax poetic all day long about carrot cake (and I probably have) but I also try to check into as many of the relationship Q’s as I can, because we are trying to help people to get out of their painful negative situations. There aren’t a lot of Q’s where people ask something like, “Hey, I just got a new boyfriend and he’s really nice to me and he’s polite to my parents and enjoys shopping, what should I do?” Most Q’s are on here to get advice on how to solve a problem.
Problems, by their nature and definition, are negatives. Some are more negative than others and each of us decides for ourselves what we think is negative and to what degree it is negative. Some people might think something is truly horrible and devastating (I recall a Q about a mother practically going off the rails when her daughter confessed that she was no longer a Catholic and was considering another Christian denomination) and most of us tried to remind her that this was barely a problem at all, because her daughter was a good person and was making her own way in life based upon what she decided was meaningful and important and made sense for her own life. So negativity is all about perception.
I also enjoy some of the fluffier Q’s like the ones about music and movies, because I love music and movies. And I don’t consider the food related Q’s to be simply fluff, I’ve been on a bunch of Q’s that were about nutrition, how to eat to avoid certain diseases, helping folks that are new to vegetarianism have a smooth transition, helping a man who’s wife was just diagnosed with diabetes on how to deal with that situation and trying to teach him how to cook for her, and helping folks who are new to cooking how to feel comfortable in the kitchen. We’ve also helped people find long lost recipes that their grandma’s used to make when they were distraught because they lost the recipe or the grandma had passed away before writing down the recipe. Cooking and food and everything that surrounds that subject is very important to me, so I don’t consider that to be fluffy or meaningless.
And as per @Dutchess_III request, here is a recipe for an Orange Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
