The cake is an integral part of our daily lives. It is a dessert that is loved by many people due to its beautiful appearance and sweet taste. Whether it's a birthday, holiday celebration, or a date or party, the cake is always favored as a delicacy. The romance and beauty of desserts can be felt when enjoying cake.


The history of cake can be traced back to ancient Greece when it was called "plakous," a pastry made of flour, honey, dried fruits, and alcohol. During the Roman period, cakes also became popular and an essential food for the nobility.


By the 18th century, the methods and flavors of cake production began to diversify. Pavis of Italy and Mona Kristian of France became two giants in cake making at that time, and they created many classic cake recipes such as tiramisu and pudding.


By the 19th century, with the continuous development of baking technology, the quality and taste of cakes were greatly improved, and cakes became a must-have food for social occasions in Europe at that time.


With the spread of European culture, cakes also began to go around the world and became a popular dessert worldwide.


Nowadays, many people want to make cakes at home, but they don't have an oven. Fortunately, there are various ways to make a cake without an oven. For instance, a combination of vegetables and meatloaf can be used to create a nutritious and delicious cake. Here are the steps to make it:


First, boil a pot of water and add 100 grams of lettuce. Blanch the lettuce for 1 minute, then remove it and put it in a juicing cup. Add 60 ml of water and blend it into lettuce juice.


Separate 3 eggs into egg whites and yolks. Mix the egg yolks with 10 grams of cooking oil and stir until it becomes a smooth mixture. While stirring, pour in the beaten lettuce juice until it is also mixed well and thick.


In three parts, add 20 grams of sugar to the egg whites and beat with a whisk until it forms small hooks, with small tips lifting on it. Add half of the egg whites to the batter, mix from the outside to the inside with a spatula, and then add the remaining half of the egg whites.


Prepare a bowl with a layer of baking paper on the bottom. Pour all the mixed batter into it, put it on the table, and shake it. Sprinkle a layer of meat pine on the surface, then steam it for 40 minutes with cold water. Turn off the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. The delicious vegetable meat pine cake is now ready.


Cakes have also made an appearance in movies, TV series, and literary works, becoming a part of our cultural field. For example, in the movie "Love in the Sahara," the heroine expresses her feelings by presenting a delicious cake to the hero.


In the TV series "Mona Lisa Smile," the heroine makes a delicious cake for her classmate to express her friendship. Cakes have also become a form of cultural and artistic expression. Cake artists can create beautiful works of art with cakes, allowing people to appreciate the beauty of cakes and the charm of art.


Cakes have a long and rich history that has evolved over time. With the development of technology, the quality and taste of cakes have greatly improved. Nowadays, cakes have become an essential dessert that people enjoy on special occasions or as a daily indulgence.


Making a cake without an oven is also possible, as seen in the vegetable meatloaf cake recipe above. Whether as a cultural expression or as a delicious dessert, cakes continue to be a favorite among many people.
