Cake



= Cake = toc From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

** Cake ** is a form of [|bread] or bread-like [|food]. In its modern forms, it is typically a sweet and enriched [|baked] [|dessert]. In its oldest forms, cakes were normally fried breads or [|cheesecakes], and normally had a disk shape. Determining whether a given food should be classified as bread, cake, or [|pastry] can be difficult. Modern cake, especially layer cakes, normally contain a combination of [|flour], [|sugar] , [|eggs] , and [|butter] or [|oil] , with some varieties also requiring liquid (typically [|milk] or [|water] ) and leavening agents (such as [|yeast] or [|baking powder] ). Flavorful ingredients like fruit purées, [|nuts], dried or candied fruit, or [|extracts] are often added, and numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients are possible. Cakes are often filled with [|fruit preserves] or dessert sauces (like [|pastry cream] ), iced with [|buttercream] or other icings, and decorated with [|marzipan], piped borders or [|candied fruit]. [|[1]]

Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly [|weddings], [|anniversaries] , and [|birthdays]. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.
