<h3>Fun Facts&nbsp;</h3>
<p>The term "cake" has a long history. The word itself is of Viking origin, from the Old Norse word "kaka". The ancient Greeks called cake πλακοῦς (plakous), which was derived from the word for "flat", πλακόεις (plakoeis)</p>
<p>It was baked using flour mixed with eggs, milk, nuts, and honey. They also had a cake called "satura", which was a flat heavy cake.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During the Roman period, the name for cake became "placenta" which was derived from the Greek term. A placenta was baked on a pastry base or inside a pastry case.</p>
<p>The Greeks invented beer as a leavener, frying fritters in olive oil, and cheesecakes using goat's milk.</p>
<p>In ancient Rome, the basic bread dough was sometimes enriched with butter, eggs, and honey, which produced a sweet and cake-like baked good.</p>

<p>Sponge cakes, leavened with beaten eggs, originated during the Renaissance, possibly in Spain.</p>
<p>Ever since cake in a box has become a staple of supermarkets and is complemented with frosting in a can.</p>
