NATIONAL CAKE DAY 2023: Every year on November 26, National Cake Day is celebrated in the US to honour this fascinating sugary delicacy that simply melts in our mouth and is available in a range of flavours. Cakes are connected with joyful times and are an essential component of major celebrations, so this day is marked to remember how the delectable dish originated and became famous around the world. Cakes have existed since time immemorial, with the earliest cakes thought to have been manufactured by the Ancient Egyptians back in 4500 BC. Cakes are now quite popular, with many variations in every corner.
Here are five easy and delicious cakes you can make at home to celebrate:
Semolina Cake
A healthy and a popular alternative to regular sponge or vanilla cake. The biggest difference between a semolina cake and a traditional sponge cake is that the latter can be baked as soon as the batter is prepared. However, for the former, one needs to soak the semolina for several hours. This results in a luscious cake with a soft crumb.
Coconut Cake
This cake has a flawless crumb, fluffy texture, and sticky base that just melts. The trick is to mix dry ingredients in one container and liquid components in another. In your mixer, combine the two, as well as the coconut milk and sweetened shredded/flaked coconut for the perfect result.
Banana Cake
Banana Cake is a one-bowl vegan dessert made with mashed ripe bananas, walnuts, and whole wheat flour. So, if you have some ripe bananas on hand, begin mashing and mixing to make this quick and easy cake.
Key Lime Cake
A Key Lime Cake is tender, fluffy, and moist, and it’s overflowing with brilliant lime flavour. The cake and cream cheese frosting are both infused with key lime flavour, creating the ideal balance of tart and sweet. It’s an ideal dessert for any event or gathering.
Carrot Cake
This rich and tender carrot cake has a lovely texture and the ideal combination of spices. It’s packed with nutrition and loaded with crisp nuts and tart-sweet raisins. For a winning combination, layer the cake with some cream cheese frosting.
