response: Um there too many cake recipes to count!  And some of them are centuries old.
original_response: There are recipes that are centuries old. The first cakes were more bread-like but cakes have gotten sweeter over time.
history: hey i love cake, its so delicious, do you know much about it? Oh do you!  Well for starters, I know it's a sweet dessert form, and it's usually baked. What are cakes made of? Ah, they  have multiple ingredients such as flour, eggs, sugar, butter, a leavening agent like baking powder, and a liquid. what about after is done baking? do you add anything sweet on top of it? I'm not sure about that.  I do know, though, that sometimes other things are added to the cake ingredients, like dried fruit, cocoa, vanilla extract, or fresh fruit. wow sounds great, are they a common dessert? i wonder how long people have been making them.
knowledge: There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some are rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old.
