Sweet Delight

Traditionally, cake was served mainly as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, such as weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays.

However, in recent times, you do not have to wait until a special day to have a slice of this yummy delight because you can make it at home to eat or get it at a cake shop where cakes are readily available or even eat it at restaurants as most restaurants now add it to their buffet menu.

There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some are rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old. In this article, you will learn two cake recipes: a brownie and a coconut cake.
