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.
