Trivia: Where was the world’s oldest piece of cake found?
Mexico
Egypt
South Africa
China
The correct answer is Egypt
So why is this answer correct? : The oldest cake ever found was discovered in Meir, Egypt. The cake was made during the reign of Pepi II from 2251 to 2157 BCE, which means that it is more than 4,200 years old. It was made of wheat flatbread filled with honey and milk and was baked in a snug copper mold that created a vacuum for preservation. It was found in Pepi’s tomb, which means it was meant as an offering to accompany him in the afterlife.
