Feelings for a cake

[Ksn_out]

Hi!
How would you name a strong feeling about a very tempting delicious cake / sweets? Like you really WANT it. I need to write a phrase: "This cake makes me feel ... ". I'd suggest a word "yearning", or maybe "craving". But this must not exclude the word "feel" in the phrase, and not make the phrase ongoing (like for example "craving" - I think should be used better like "craving for it", which is not what I need).

If I can't use "crave" then I don't know what to say. That would be most natural for me, and I don't know what's in second place.

So you can just say "This cake makes me feel craving" and that's it?

"Feelings for" usually implies affection for another person. It is synonymous with being in love. And yearnings are too ethereal for something as mundane as cake. For things like cake, I can't think of a better word than crave.

Yes I totally agree that feelings normally are not to be used speaking about food, but here I'm actually trying to use a more ethereal word. Because the original idea comes from a phycologists' saying about feelings caused by beliefs and not the events themselves, and transformed into cake-topic for a joke

I wish I was! Sorry for this little fake, just stopped on a wrong line in hurry.

I need to write a phrase: "This cake makes me feel ... ".

Why?

I suppose you could use 'jonesing', although that suggests a sense of addiction.

I'm jonesing for a slice of that chocolatey goodness.

I am familiar with "have a Jones for" but I have never used that phrase. I might say:

I would really really like a piece of carrot cake right now.

This cake makes me feel famished.

However, using feel adds nothing.
