The most first thought that comes to our minds when we talk of different lands is their culture and tradition. Each country has its own wonderful tradition of clothing, music, food, etc. Cakes are a favourite among people globally, and each country, surprisingly, has its own traditional cake. Here we are taking you on a virtual tour of the variations in cake gastronomy of different countries.
1.     Galette des Roise – France

When translated into English, Galette des Roise would mean “the king’s cake.” The cake, traditionally, is consumed after Christmas celebrations, during first week of January, but of late it has gained so much popularity that bakeries have no choice but sell it all through December and January. It is made with several layers of puff pastry and topped using powder sugar and it is wrapped with almond cream.

2.    Black Forest Cherry Cake – Germany

This cake is very traditional form coming from south-east Germany, specifically the Black Forest region. It is popularly believed that the original cake came from Switzerland, but Germans perfected it and turned it to as famous that it is nowadays.
The cake is made of many layers of chocolate cake, which are separated by cherries. It is topped using whipped cream, more cherries and chocolate shavings for decoration purposes. There is also a Swedish version to the cake, although it does not have much to do with the actual German recipe because it is made using whipped cream and meringue.

3.    Revani – Turkey

Turkey, as well as the Arabic world, is very well known for Balvakia, which is a variety of sweets prepared from dried fruits and layered with honey and pastry. However, the country has many other kinds of desserts and sweets, although none are as well-known as first one.

Revani, a moist cake, is elaborated using semolina, which is a bit of lemon. Also, orange syrup is used to make what would otherwise be a dry cake in a tastier and smoother dish.

4.    Mochi – Japan

The Mochi  is a traditional Japanese dessert and is  made of rice paste which is usually made on New Year’s Eve, but it can be found all through  the year in various varieties such as ice creams or also soups. Considering the fact that rice paste is moulded easily and can be mixed with a large range of ingredients, the variety of a Mochi cake can be unlimited.

5.    Mawa Cake – India

Mawa cakes are made with milk and given a touch of nuts like cashews and almonds and lots of cardamom. The Mawa, a sweet ingredient, is solidified milk, which is obtained via the process of cooking the milk so slowly that the liquid begins to evaporate. The Cake especially is traditional in the city of Mumbai, which has various cafes serving it. It is also prepared in the state of Gujarat.

Just like you have the online cakes delivery system that has been a huge hit in all parts of the country, you can get one delivered to yourself, no matter where you are! You could also bake one of these special cakes yourself because they last for a really long time. So what special cakes are we talking about? Here are a few examples for you:

1. Madeira cake – This sweet and yummy cake is known for its rich flavour, amazing and exotic ingredients and because they last for a really long time as the ingredients don’t get spoilt too soon.
2. Chocolate brownies – The all-time favourite dessert of many people all around the world just became lovable for another reason. These are no-hassle treats that you can carry with you anywhere and store them in a tin box, away from damp and sunlight, so they last your entire camping expedition!
3. Sponge cakes – The staples of many bakeries and patisseries around the world, this soft and delicious cake, preferably in flavours like banana and chocolate, are great if stored safely.

Almost everybody loves it – from kids to old people.

5. Rice crispy cakes – Don’t be fooled by the simple description of this cake! Enormously popular with children, these cakes are fun because of their flavour and texture. Unlike the other gooey and sweet cakes, this cake is preferred by those who like a little crunch in their cakes and who don’t prefer very rich decorations, fruits and icing on their desserts.

Some of the best examples in terms of long-lasting cakes have been mentioned here. The cakes that you shouldn’t be thinking about, however, are the ones that have a lot of fruits, cream and other quickly perishable ingredients. Examples would be strawberry, or vanilla cakes with a lot of cream and icing, the delicate pastries with a lot of juice and cherries in them and apple pies (because apples get spoilt so easily!). Just keep your sturdy cakes safe in air-tight containers and you can have a good snack for your entire camping duration.
