Cake is a universally recognized dessert, with so many variations constantly being created around the world. There are raw cakes, vegan cakes, breakfast cakes, rice cakes, Bundt cakes, cheesecakes, layered cakes, decorative cakes, etc. You get the point; there are a lot of cakes. With countless cake recipes in existence, it is hard to estimate how many cakes there are.
Some cakes date back several centuries. Interestingly enough, the origin of the word “cake” is derived from Norse language. “Kaka,” which might have a different meaning nowadays, in Norse was the word for cake. This was most likely used to describe gingerbread cakes, due to the available ingredients at the time.
While cakes are typically made with flour, eggs, tons of sugar, butter, oil, and milk, you don’t have to make them with any of those ingredients for them to be delicious. Below are some of our favorite cake recipes that you can make for National Cake Day. If you make them, let us know how they turned out.
