Cake is a form of sweet dessert that is typically baked. In its oldest forms, cakes were modifications
of breads but now cover a wide range of preparations that can be simple or elaborate and share
features with other desserts such as pastries, meringues, custards and pies.
Typical cake ingredients are flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil, with some recipes also requiring
additional liquid (for example milk or water) and leavening agents (such as yeast or baking powder).
Common additional flavourings include dried, candied or fresh fruit, nuts, cocoa or extracts, and
numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients are possible. Cakes can also be 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.

Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, for


example weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are breadlike, 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 so that even the most amateur
cook may bake a cake.
