There are 4 main methods of making cakes - I don't know of a fifth method.

1. The Rubbing-In Method - The fat is rubbed into the flour. Then the other dry ingredients are added, followed by the wet ingredients like eggs, milk and oil.

2. The Creaming Method - The butter and sugar are first worked together in a mixing bowl until they are light and fluffy. Then the eggs are added, followed by the flour.

3. The Sponge Cake Method - The eggs and sugar are whisked together until light and creamy, and the flour is then lightly folded in.

4. The Melting Method - The fat is melted, along with any syrup, sugar or treacle in the recipe (this method is often used for gingerbread.) Then add the flour, followed by the beaten eggs and milk.
