hey i love cake, its so delicious, do you know much about it? Oh do you!  Well for starters, I know it's a sweet dessert form, and it's usually baked. What are cakes made of? Ah, they  have multiple ingredients such as flour, eggs, sugar, butter, a leavening agent like baking powder, and a liquid. what about after is done baking? do you add anything sweet on top of it? I'm not sure about that.  I do know, though, that sometimes other things are added to the cake ingredients, like dried fruit, cocoa, vanilla extract, or fresh fruit. wow sounds great, are they a common dessert? i wonder how long people have been making them. Um there too many cake recipes to count!  And some of them are centuries old. Gosh they have been around a long time.  Is it complicated to make a cake?
Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the whisking of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified so that even the most amateur cook may bake a cake.
