Today day is November 26 Cake Day observed every year. The word “cake” comes from the Old Norse word, “kaka,” meaning a baked flour sweet.
Cakes typically contain a combination of flour, sugar, eggs and butter or oil, with some variety of liquid which may be milk or water, along with a leavening agent such as yeast or baking powder. Flavorful ingredients are often added, for example; chopped nuts, fresh, candied or dried fruit, fruit purees or extracts.
The dessert of choice at bridal and baby showers, wedding receptions, retirement parties and just about any social event. Add ice cream, and you have America’s top favorite desserts in the same dish.
Today we could celebrate one of the world’s favorite desserts—cake with our friends and family.
