What is National Cake Day?
National Cake Day's scrumptious treat for everyone to enjoy on November 26th. This day cake takes center stage as the dessert of choice, with slide over pie. No matter what age, the cake is topped with candles on most birthdays. Cake serves up a slice or two for showers, weddings, retirement, and anniversaries. Now you have America's best desserts in the same dish, with ice cream.
These sweet layered, frosting-covered, or fondant-decorated works of art scream celebration whether it's a shapely bundt cake (celebrated on November 15) or the less curvaceous sheet cake. A cake sends a sweet note whether it be made from scratch, a box, or picked up from the bakery. In addition, they're also available in many combinations and flavors.
No one knows how many people are. There are countless cake recipes out there. Some are even bread-like, some are wealthy and elaborate, and many are still centuries old, while others are more elaborate, and some are even centuries old. The word cake is derived from Old Norse "kaka" and is of Viking origins. Due to the availability of refined ingredients at the time, a cake's texture was more like gingerbread.
Cakes usually contain a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil. In addition, a batter is made by a mixture of liquids, such as milk or water. The cake rises when a leavening agent such as yeast or baking powder is added. For example, chopped nuts, fresh, candied or dried fruit, fruit purees, or extracts are often added to flavorful ingredients. Although we often think of cake with frosting or icing, many cakes can be enjoyed with only fruit or other toppings.
