Bible | Cake Cakes made of wheat or barley were offered in the temple. They were salted, but unleavened (Ex. 29:2; Lev. 2:4). In idolatrous worship thin cakes or wafers were offered "to the queen of heaven" (Jer. 7:18; 44:19). Pancakes are described in 2 Sam. 13:8, 9. Cakes mingled with oil and baked in the oven are mentioned in Lev. 2:4, and "wafers unleavened anointed with oil," in Ex. 29:2; Lev. 8:26; 1 Chr. 23:29. "Cracknels," a kind of crisp cakes, were among the things Jeroboam directed his wife to take with her when she went to consult Ahijah the prophet at Shiloh (1 Kings 14:3). Such hard cakes were carried by the Gibeonites when they came to Joshua (9:5, 12). They described their bread as "mouldy;" but the Hebrew word _nikuddim_, here used, ought rather to be rendered "hard as biscuit." It is rendered "cracknels" in 1 Kings 14:3. The ordinary bread, when kept for a few days, became dry and excessively hard. The Gibeonites pointed to this hardness of their bread as an evidence that they had come a long journey. We read also of honey-cakes (Ex. 16:31), "cakes of figs" (1 Sam. 25:18), "cake" as denoting a whole piece of bread (1 Kings 17:12), and "a [round] cake of barley bread" (Judg. 7:13). In Lev. 2 is a list of the different kinds of bread and cakes which were fit for offerings. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary. |

Literature | Cake A fool, a poor thing. (Cf. HALF-BAKED.) Cake To take the cake. To carry off the prize. The reference is to the prize-cake to the person who succeeded best in a given competition. In Notes and Queries (Feb. 27th, 1892, p. 176) a correspondent of New York tells us of a "cake walk" by the Southern negroes. It consists of walking round the prize cake in pairs, and umpires decide which pair walk the most gracefully. In ancient Greece a cake was the award of the toper who held out the longest. In Ireland the best dancer in a dancing competition was rewarded, at one time, by a cake. "A churn-dish stuck into the earth supported on its flat end a cake, which was to become the prize of the best dancer. ... At length the competitors yielded their claims to a young man ... who, taking the cake, placed it gallantly in the lap of a pretty girl to whom ... he was about to be married."- Bartlett and Coyne: Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland, vol. ii. p. 64.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A cake is a form of baked food, usually sweet. Cakes normally combine some kind of flour, a sweetening agent (commonly sugar), a binding agent (generally egg, though gluten or starch are often used by vegetarians and vegans), shortening (usually butter or margarine), a liquid (milk, water or fruit juice), flavours and some form of raising agent (such as baking powder).
Cake is often the dessert of choice for meals at ceremonial occasions, particularly weddings or birthday parties. The bride and groom are the first to eat their wedding cake, often serving each other a piece in their fingers. For birthdays, a frosted cake, often with inscriptions in frosting and figural decorations, is covered with candles, which are blown out after the celebrant makes a wish.
Techniques
Cakes can be made using several different basic techniques:
- Creaming method - butter and sugar are creamed together before the rest of the ingredients are gradually added.
- Melt-and-mix - dry ingredients are mixed together and then melted butter and other liquids are added to complete the cake.
- Rubbing method - butter is rubbed into the dry ingredients before the liquid is added.
- 'All-in-together' - the dry ingredients and shortening are placed in the food processer and liquid is gradually added.
- Sponge-making - eggs and sugar are whipped to a froth and flour is carefully mixed in. No raising agent or fat is used in this method and it takes great skill to make a light sponge.
Common varieties
Commonly made varieties of cake include:
- Angelfood cake
- Chocolate cake
- Chiffon cake
- Croquembouche
- fairy cake
- Fruit cake
- Pound cake
- spice cake
- sponge cake
- teacake
- gateaux

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Cake is a Sacramento, California band, formed in 1990, who have had several hits throughout the 1990s and 2000s from their four recorded albums: Motorcade of Generosity (1994), Fashion Nugget (1996), Prolonging the Magic (1998) and Comfort Eagle (2001).Their music, fitting into the category of alternative rock, features droll lyrics, laconically-voiced (often in a near-rapping style) by lead vocalist/guitarist John McCrea; catchy distorted guitar riffs (courtesy, until 1998, of guitarist Greg Brown and, until 1997, bass player Victor Damiani); and, notably, a solo trumpet, played by Vince DiFiore.
Damiani left the band in 1997, replaced by Gabe Nelson; Greg Brown left in 1998, replaced by Xan McCurdy.
Their biggest hits include "The Distance", an alternative retake of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive", "Sheep Go to Heavan", and "Short Skirt/Long Jacket".
Cake's fifth album is due for release Spring 2004.
