Cake is a form of bread or bread-like food. In its modern forms, it is typically a sweet baked dessert. In its oldest forms, cakes were normally fried breads or cheesecakes, and normally had a disk shape.

It has been suggested that the gradual removal of carbohydrates from the diet and replacement with fatty foods such as nuts, seeds, eggs and vegetables may help reverse diabetes. (Wikipedia)
