About Plain cake

Plain cake is a classic dessert made from a simple combination of flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and leavening agents like baking powder or soda. This humble treat is rooted in Western baking traditions and is popular in many cuisines as a versatile and universally enjoyed sweet. Plain cake can be flavored with vanilla, almond, or citrus extracts, and often serves as a base for more elaborate desserts. While it provides carbohydrates and some protein from eggs, its sugar and butter content make it calorie-dense and high in fat, particularly saturated fat. Without added toppings or heavy fillings, plain cake is a lighter option compared to richer cakes but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. For a healthier twist, whole-grain flour or less sugar can be used as alternatives.
