There are two main types of cakes and they are butter and foam cakes.
Butter Cakes: These are made with solid shortening or margarine, but people still call them butter cakes because they are moist, light, and fine in texture.
Foam cakes – contained a large number of eggs or egg whites. The light and fluffy texture of mousse cakes comes from the air beaten into the eggs and the steam that forms in the dough during the baking process. The three types of foam cakes are:

– Biscuits – does not have butter or oil and uses egg yolks and whites.
