Cake!

Even though this is an ice cream blog, I have to mention cake.  In fact, ice cream and cake go together like pizza and pepperonis, so I decided to mention cake. Most of us have eaten cake especially birthday cake.


The word cake comes from the old Norse word kaka. This word is related to the word "to cook." Now you know the origin of the word cake, so what is a cake? If you get down to the nuts and bolts of cake, you are looking at a recipe of eggs, flour, sugar, and, depending on the cake, nuts, icing, fruit, or other ingredients. However, the taste of a cake can't be boiled down to a few basic ingredients. The delicate and fluffy mix of high quality ingredients yields a remarkable taste sensation in the mouth.

There are a variety of types of cake (there is even a rock band called Cake, but that isn't what we are talking about!). I list some of them below:

- Spice cake
- Italian wedding cake
- Red velvet cake
- Chocolate cake
- Fruit cake
- Pineapple Upside Down Cake
- And many, many more

If you want to truly enjoy your cake, you will want to pair it with ice cream. Most of the time the best choice is vanilla ice cream, because you don't want the taste of the ice cream to overtake the flavor of the cake. Thus, you wouldn't pair a lemon cake with chocolate ice cream, although some adventurous souls may dare to combine the two!

You can't have an ice cream blog without discussing cake, so there you go!
