About Cake, snack cakes, cupcakes, chocolate, with frosting, low-fat
Cake is the classic sweet baked dessert at the heart of birthdays, weddings, and celebrations, built from a simple foundation of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil with a leavening agent for lift. From there it branches into endless styles, including fluffy sponge, tender layer cakes, dense pound cake, rich chocolate, cheesecake, and bundt, often filled, frosted with buttercream, and decorated.
As a treat it runs high in sugar and calories while contributing some protein and calcium from eggs and dairy. Cake is served in slices with coffee or tea, stacked and iced for special occasions, soaked in flavored syrups, or paired with fresh fruit and ice cream. Boxed mixes make baking quick, while scratch recipes reward a little care with measuring and mixing. Store most frosted cakes under a cover at room temperature for a couple of days, refrigerate any with cream or custard fillings, and freeze unfrosted layers to bake ahead.
