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

Today's cake recipe was a completely new recipe for me, and I didn't face any problem while making it, but I made it with a lot of thought. Even though all the rules and regulations were shown in the class,while making it, but that's why I took a lot of time and patience and followed every step and tried to make each one well. It's much healthier when we eat dates. Where we get the nutritional value of dates and nuts together in the middle of a cake, it is very beneficial, especially for children, so I am very happy to be able to make it, and I really have a new experience. I will try to make this date cake again at home.

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

The ingredients are very nutritious and healthy, but let's find out how important they are.

Dates

---

Dates are very nutritious and a healthy food. A healthy fruit that provides a lot of nutrition for children. Eating dates is very beneficial for children as well as adults. Dates contain vitamins A, B and bita carotine which help keep our eyes and teeth strong.

Butter

---

we use butter to make cake If we use butter instead of oil, it will be much healthier because the excess fat of oil is not present in butter, and the fats are well-refined to make butter. It is said that it helps a lot in enhancing the taste of food and keeping the quality of food intact.

Flour

---

We cannot make a cake without flour because the main ingredient of a cake is flour, so we can make a cake with flour, and we can also use the flour to mix and blend it well to make a soft cake.

Eggs

---

If you use eggs in a cake, of course, they make it rise a lot and help prevent the cake from setting. Also, eggs are a very nutritious food that makes the cake much healthier if you use them.

Sugar

---

Sugar is a very necessary ingredient for making cakes because without it, if we make a cake, the real taste of the cake will not be understood, and that cake will not be edible. Therefore, sugar must be used in the cake, but it must be used in moderation. If you use too much sugar, the taste of the cake will be ruined.

Baking powder

---

Baking powder plays a significant role in cake making because without baking powder, the batter cannot rise sufficiently, and the cake will not look or taste very good. We must use baking powder to open it.

vanilla essence

---

To get a nice scent in the cake, you must use vanilla essence because using just a few drops of vanilla essence gives the cake a sweet scent that comes out as soon as you make the cake, and it tastes very good.

cashew nuts

---

Cashews are a very beneficial nut, and they help in our brain development. In most cases, using them in cakes not only enhances the taste of the cake but also creates a new design for the cake and makes the cake look much better. The cashews are set on top of the cake after it is made.
