The most common ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, fat (such as butter, oil or margarine), a liquid, and a leavening agent, such as baking soda or baking powder.  Common additional ingredients include dried, candied, or fresh fruit, nuts, cocoa, and extracts such as vanilla, with numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients. Cakes can also be filled with fruit preserves, nuts or dessert sauces (like custard, jelly, cooked fruit, whipped cream or syrups), iced with buttercream,  whipped cream, or other icings, and decorated with marzipan, piped borders, or candied fruit. You'll often find cakes at the centre of  celebrations. Arguably, the universality of cake makes it so appealing. No matter where you find yourself, you'll find cakes in one form or another. Cakes can be made in various ways, some are bread-like, some are rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old; all equally unique and delicious. Over the years, cake making has become increasingly popular. It is something that people are falling in love with.  This book includes 7 cake recipes that will serve as an introduction to the basics of cake making.
