2 . What difficulties did you encounter while making this recipe?

I didn't face any problems while making today's recipe, but I was a bit worried because it was my first time making it and how careful I should be while adding the colours, like if I add too much or too little food colour, the cake would look weird after it was made. But Mashallah, there was no problem with my cake. The colours were applied correctly, so even after it was ready, my cake came out in a beautiful colour that I was amazed to see.

3 . Explain the importance of each of the ingredients you used in making this cake..

Flour

The main and basic ingredient in making a cake is flour. Without flour, we cannot make any kind of cake. We can use of flour according to the quantity, but flour is definitely needed in making a cake, with the help of which we can prepare a complete cake.

Butter

Butter is very essential for making cakes. Many people can use oil instead of butter, but in the case of cakes, using butter is much more beneficial because using butter gives the cake a much better texture and gives the cake a beautiful, soft texture that is not possible with anything other than butter.

Egg

Cake is a need for egg to prepare it because if we want to make a cake and open it, we need eggs. Also, eggs play a big role in keeping it soft. If we want to keep it soft for a long time, then we must use eggs.

Sugar

Sugar must be used while preparing the cake because without sugar, the cake will feel heavy and will not be edible. Therefore, to make the cake moist and edible, sugar must be used in moderation.

Baking powder

No matter how many other ingredients we use while preparing the cake, we cannot prepare a cake without baking powder because adding baking powder to the dough we make in the cake helps the dough rise a lot.

Food color

If we are going to prepare a normal cake, then there will be no need for food color, but if we are going to prepare colorful and different flavored cakes, then we will need food color and with the help of various types of food color we can make cakes of various colors which are much more attractive and satisfying to look at because before eating, there is a need to see the content, which is much better to see, that is what creates interest in being a human eating being.

Vanilla essence

The role is very important in making cakes because it provides a sweet aroma which is very much needed for the cake and the smell of this vanilla essence in the cake gives a different aroma to the entire preparation of the cake which is very much needed.

icing sugar

Icing sugar is required to prepare today's cake because the cake is in 2 parts, and to make a two-layer cake, cream must be arranged in the middle, which is incomplete without icing sugar, because icing sugar must be used to sweeten the cream. Icing sugar is not like ordinary sugar, it is powdered. The thing about powder is that it is beneficial for making the filling in the middle of the cake, and making a cake filling with it makes the cake look much more beautiful and is also much more fun to eat.

4 . If you were allowed to share this delicious cake with a Steemit friend, who would you share it with? Explain why you chose that friend. (Must be at least 100 words.).

The one I made today is much more attractive to look at because it would be much more fun to eat than it is to look at. But I want to dedicate this beautiful and fun one to
@drhira maam today. If she can feel it, I want her to come to my house. If she ever meets me face to face, I want to make this cake again and feed it to her because I had a lot of fun making it. I felt a lot more peace after making it.
