Cakes are a form of sweet baked goods, typically made from flour, sugar, eggs, and fat (such as butter or oil). Variations can include other ingredients like fruits, nuts, chocolate, extracts, and flavorings to create a wide array of textures and tastes. Leavening agents such as baking powder or baking soda are generally incorporated to provide a light and airy structure. The history of cakes dates back to ancient times, with early forms more akin to sweetened breads. Over centuries, cake making evolved, with key developments including the use of refined sugar and the introduction of chemical leavening. Today, cakes are enjoyed globally and are central to many celebrations and social gatherings. They are commonly served as desserts, snacks, or as part of celebratory meals, often decorated with frosting, icing, or other embellishments. Cakes also serve as the base for pastries like cupcakes, cake pops, and petit fours.
