CAKE TRIVIA
The saying "You can't have you cake and eat it" (originally "eat your cake and
have it") is first seen in print in 1562 in John Heywood's 'Proverbs and
Epigrams.'
The word 'cake' comes from the Old Norse 'kaka'. Not exactly the sort of word
you would expect the Vikings to contribute to the English language.
There are two basic cake types: those made with fats and those containing
little or no fats. Butter cakes, also called creamed cakes, contain butter,
margarine or vegetable shortening, which contribute to a finely textured,
tender and moist cake. Cakes that do not contain fat, such as sponge, angel
food and chiffon cakes, are often referred to as foam cakes. These have a
larger proportion of egg than butter cakes.
Both butter cakes and foam cakes lend themselves to limitless variations,
depending on the flavorings added to the basic ingredients, the shapes of the
pans used in baking, and fillings, icings and decorations used. Cakes come in
all sizes and shapes, from layer cakes to jelly rolls to miniature cakes and
cupcakes. There are cakes for every taste and every occasion, whether an
elegant gateau or a down-to-earth carrot cake.
