The word "cake" has a rich history! The oldest known reference to cake dates back to ancient Egypt around 2000 BCE. The word "kaka" or "khek" referred to a type of flatbread or cookie made from barley flour. The Egyptians considered cakes a symbol of fertility and used them in their rituals and ceremonies. The Latin word "gatis" also referred to a sweet bread or cake. The Romans adopted the word and used it to describe a type of cheesecake. Over time, the spelling and meaning of the word "cake" evolved. The modern English word "cake" emerged in the 14th century, derived from the Old Norse word "kaka". Today, cake is enjoyed worldwide in countless flavors and forms, from sweet treats to savory delights!
