7 Popular Cakes That Are Best Suited For All Occasions

March 3, 2020

Cakes are synonymous with celebrations. They add delight, no matter how ordinary the day is. For centuries, cakes have been considered auspicious and made an integral part of every celebration. For instance, wedding cakes hold a long-standing tradition where cake cutting is considered as the first activity done by the couple and feeding each other a small bite, symbolising commitment. Also, couples usually save the top tier of the cake for the anniversary or christening ceremony. Not just this, birthday cakes date back to the era of ancient Greeks when they baked round honey cakes as an offering to Artemis, Goddess of Moon. The smoke of the candle was believed to carry prayers up to God.

Well, cakes serve a very indispensable purpose in lighting up not just weddings and birthdays but every mini or grand occasion it graces. Over time, cakes have evolved from honey and topped sweetbreads to tiers of aesthetic treats with the advent of technology and discovery of spices.

Certain cakes have attained a place of popularity and are universally loved, all courtesy to their long history. No matter how many times you come across these on different occasions, you’d not stop drooling over them. Know seven popular cakes that are best suited for all occasions.

According to a story, Josef Keller invented the cake in 1915. The cake has come up with many variations, all of them rich with gooey chocolate and whipped cream. However, the distinguishing feature of the traditional cake is the use of Kirsch.

The cake has evolved since then with ingredients like butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, cream, vanilla and salt. The cake still remains in popular demand on all occasions.

3. Red Velvet Cake

Red velvet cake became popular in the 20th century. However, the cake came into significance in the 1800s and in 1943, it got a prominent mention in Irma S. Rombauer’s “The Joy of Cooking.” The cake is popular because of its signature red-brown or crimson cocoa colour. The velvety cheesecake is a universal obsession because of its fine texture.

The cake comes in various varieties like choco chip cake, choco lava cake, choco cheesecake. Chocolate cake came into existence in 1886 when American cooks began adding chocolate to the cake batter.

Strawberries are one of the most refreshing flavours that add not just flavours of celebration but an aesthetic appeal to the occasion. Strawberry cakes can be baked with fresh strawberries, canned syrups, fresh strawberry toppings etc. Strawberry shortcake is widely popular, and the first-ever strawberry shortcake recipe appeared in an English cookbook in 1588.
