An  **apple pie**  is a [pie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie) in which the principal filling ingredient is [apple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple). It is often served with [whipped cream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipped_cream), [ice cream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cream) ("apple pie [à la mode](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80_la_mode)"), or [cheddar cheese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheddar_cheese).[[3]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pie#cite_note-Atlas-3) It is generally double-crusted, with pastry both above and below the filling; the upper crust may be solid or latticed (woven of crosswise strips). The bottom crust may be baked separately ("[blind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind-baking)") to prevent it from getting soggy.[[4]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pie#cite_note-4) Deep-dish apple pie often has a top crust only and [tarte Tatin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarte_Tatin) is baked with the crust on top, but served with it on the bottom.

Apple pie is an unofficial [symbol of the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_symbols_of_the_United_States) and one of its signature [comfort foods](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfort_foods).[[5]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_pie#cite_note-Pinch-5)

**Cake** is a form of sweet food made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients, that is usually [baked](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baking). In their oldest forms, cakes were modifications of [bread](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread), but cakes now cover a wide range of preparations that can be simple or elaborate, and that share features with other desserts such as [pastries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastry), [meringues](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meringue), [custards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custard), and [pies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie).

The most commonly used cake ingredients include flour, sugar, [eggs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_(food)), butter or [oil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable_oil) or [margarine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margarine), a liquid, and leavening agents, such as [baking soda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baking_soda) or [baking powder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baking_powder). Common additional ingredients and flavourings include [dried](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dried_fruit), [candied](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candied_fruit), or fresh fruit, [nuts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_(fruit)), [cocoa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_powder), and [extracts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extract) such as vanilla, with numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients. Cakes can also be filled with [fruit preserves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_preserves), nuts or dessert sauces (like [pastry cream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custard)), iced with [buttercream](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttercream) or other [icings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icing_(food)), and decorated with [marzipan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marzipan), piped borders, or candied fruit.[[1]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cake#cite_note-1)

Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, such as weddings, [anniversaries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anniversary), and birthdays. There are countless cake recipes; some are bread-like, some are rich and elaborate, and many are centuries old. Cake making is no longer a complicated procedure; while at one time considerable labor went into cake making (particularly the [whisking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisk) of egg foams), baking equipment and directions have been simplified so that even the most amateur of cooks may bake a cake.
