About Cakes:

Cakes have been around since the discovery of flour. Variations on cake recipes could be found around the world based on the particular region, but all had the same basic cake characteristics.

In Medieval England, cakes were flour-based sweet foods described as breads. The words bread and cake were somewhat interchangeable for some time among Neolithic villages and they were usually cooked on a hot stone.

In Greece, cakes were more of a heavy, flat cake and were called "plakous." During the Roman period, cakes were primarily used as an offering to their gods. These types of cakes were also more like a cheesecake or pastry

Today, cakes, breads, and pastries have differentiated themselves significantly and all have blossomed into wide arrays of sizes, shapes, and flavors. The most popular type of cake though is chocolate. From German, dark, white, black forest, to even chocolate beer cake, it's difficult to pick just one type of chocolate cake to enjoy.
