The cake is a flour dessert that is typically baked and is created with flour, sugar, and other ingredients. In their earliest origins, cakes were bread modifications, but they now refer to a wide variety of dishes that can be simple or sophisticated and have characteristics in common with sweets like pies, pastries, meringues, custards, and custard creams.

Flour, sugar, eggs, fat (such as butter, oil, or margarine), a liquid, and a leavening agent, such as baking soda or baking powder, are the most typical ingredients. With countless alternatives for the core ingredients, common additional ingredients include dried, candied, or fresh fruit, almonds, chocolate, and extracts like vanilla. Cakes may also be iced with buttercream or other icings, topped with marzipan, piped borders, or candied fruit, and filled with fruit preserves, nuts, or dessert sauces (such as custard, jelly, cooked fruit, whipped cream, or syrups).

Some of them resemble bread, while others are lavish and intricate. Cake baking is no longer a difficult process while there used to be a lot of labor involved (especially in the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and instructions have been made simpler so that even the most inexperienced cooks can make a cake.
