There are so many varieties. Publix makes a yummy Raspberry cake. And you forgot to include any cheescakes on your list. That's just sinful. But I like all you list except, I haven't had Yellow Cake with Caramel icing. That sounds like something the Communists would make.Carrot cake with cream cheese icing is top 5 in the world of cakes.
The list:
Yellow cake/ homemade caramel icing
Strawberry cake/ homemade strawberry icing
Carrot cake/ cream cheese icing
Lemon pound cake/ lemony, sugary glaze
Pineapple upside down cake
Honorable mention- German chocolate
Fight me!!!
Cheesecake is not really cake. It's more of a pie or pudding. It belongs in the same category as flanThere are so many varieties. Publix makes a yummy Raspberry cake.

Fact is cake is not the best dessert, not even close, but if you must have cake, it goes like this for me (qualification cake must be in the name - ie therefore it is a cake):
1. Cheesecake
2. Carrot cake (buttercream or cream cheese icing - no cheap stuff)
3. Devils food cake
4. Hummingbird cake
5. German chocolate cake
Honorable mention: red velvet
I will say that my cake preferences are complex and not bland, so they are dependent on a well executed cake. The texture, density, moistness, flavor must all be good. If not, these cakes can easily be ranked below a typical cake your friend made. But for the purpose of this discussion, let’s assume we’re eating the real deal.
Homemade caramel icing is fantastic. If you're around Bulls Gap, stop in at Yoder's and get one. They make the closest yellow cake/caremel icing I've had to my grandmother's. (She made me one for my birthday for at least 35 years. GOD rest her soul.There are so many varieties. Publix makes a yummy Raspberry cake. And you forgot to include any cheescakes on your list.
