Traditional Cakes and Their History
Aren’t we all guilty of taking an extra slice of cake by saying, “It’s basically bread, right?” Turns out its no lie, cake probably got its start in ancient Egypt when a bread baker added honey to his loaves. Since then, it's taken off, taking on its own unique look and flavour in regions worldwide. Different parts of the world have their own baking techniques and styles, so some traditional cakes look more like bread, even cake’s arch-nemesis, pie! The multi-layered, amazingly frosted confections we think of as “cake” are just the most recent trend in a practice that’s been around for centuries.
We have rounded up some of the famous cakes of all time. Few of these cakes are everyday favourites today, but some might be new for you. Let’s take a look on traditional cakes and their history!
