Grater cake

Grater cake is a type of cake that is made by grating the cake batter into small pieces and then baking it in the oven. Imagine that you have a big bowl of cake batter, just like when you make a regular cake. Then, instead of pouring the batter into a cake pan, you use a special tool called a grater to shred the batter into tiny pieces. This would look a bit like grating cheese or carrots.

Once you have grated the cake batter, you then spread it out in a thin layer on a baking sheet before putting it in the oven to bake. While it bakes, the small pieces of cake will puff up and get crispy, creating a unique and delicious texture that's different from a traditional, smooth cake.

When the grater cake is finished baking, you can cut it into squares or other shapes and serve it like any other cake. The texture and flavor are slightly different from a regular cake because of the crispy bits and the way the batter was shredded, but you can still add frosting or other toppings if you like.

Overall, grater cake is a fun and unique way to make cake that kids and adults alike can enjoy. It's easy to make and offers a fun twist on traditional cake baking.
