Indulging in cake is my weakness. I love all flavors of cake but Funfetti is my favorite. What's your favorite?
Cake is a flour confection made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients,
and is usually baked. In their oldest forms, cakes were modifications of
bread, but cakes now cover a wide range of preparations that can be simple
or elaborate, and which share features with desserts such as pastries,
meringues, custards, and pies. The most common ingredients include flour,
sugar, eggs, fat (such as butter, oil or margarine), a liquid, and a
leavening agent, such as baking soda or baking powder. Common additional
ingredients include dried, candied, or fresh fruit, nuts, cocoa, and
extracts such as vanilla, with numerous substitutions for the primary
ingredients. Cakes can also be filled with fruit preserves, nuts or
dessert sauces (like custard, jelly, cooked fruit, whipped cream or
syrups),[1] 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, such as weddings, anniversaries,
and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some
are 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 of cooks may bake a cake.
