A cake is a form of food that is usually sweet and often baked. Cakes normally combine some kind of wheat product, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), fats (usually butter or margerine, although a fruit puree can be substituted to avoid using fat), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavours and some form of leavening agents (such as yeast or baking powder).

Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings, anniversaries and birthdays
