Cakes

Description: Cakes are sweet, baked desserts typically made from a mixture of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil. They are often flavored with ingredients like vanilla, chocolate, fruits, or spices and can be topped with icing, frosting, or fruits.

• Fruit Cake: A cake made with candied or dried fruits, nuts, and spices, often soaked in alcohol, typically enjoyed during holidays like Christmas.
• Chocolate Cake: A cake flavored with cocoa or melted chocolate, often paired with chocolate frosting or ganache.
• Angel Food Cake: A light, fluffy cake made with egg whites and no fat, resulting in a delicate texture.
• Carrot Cake: A spiced cake made with grated carrots, nuts, and spices, often topped with cream cheese frosting.
