Today I will make a ribbon cake, it is really beautiful because there are 2 colors in one cake. This is the first time I made this cake and I have never made it before, so when I searched for its recipe on Google, I first heard that this cake is a very popular dish in Sri Lanka, which made the cake even more attractive to me.

What difficulties did you encounter while making this recipe?

2nd
I faced many problems in making a beautiful cake. This is the first time I made this cake, but the color did not turn out as I wanted at first. I was very nervous about the food color because there was no color in the cake. Along with the color, the top of the cake turned brown, due to which I had to cut off the brown parts and get the real color of the cake. Since this recipe was my first, I faced these 2 problems.

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

Butter
Butter is very important in making cakes. It has a direct impact on the taste, structure and texture of the cake. It also keeps the right moisture on the cake so that the cake does not dry out.
Flour
No cake can be made without flour, the gluten in the flour makes the cake fully structured and holds the other ingredients together.
eggs
Eggs are the most important part of the cake's rise, and the proteins in the egg whites give structure to the cake, preventing it from breaking apart.

Sugar
It creates the taste of the cake and makes the cake sweet. In addition, the sugar melts during baking and creates the brown color of the cake.
Vanilla Essence
Vanilla essence is a small ingredient in cake making, but its importance is greater, it creates the taste and aroma of the cake, which makes the cake more attractive to eat.
Baking soda
Usually reacts with acidic ingredients to produce carbon dioxide gas which creates air bubbles inside the cake and makes the cake rise.
Food coloring

Food coloring makes the cake look beautiful and even though the color of the cake is varied, it looks more attractive to the eye and it enhances the beauty of the cake.

If you were given the opportunity to share this delicious cake with a Steemit friend, who would you share it with? Explain why you chose that friend.

First of all, I learned about this cake today it is the most popular Sri Lankan cake. However, this cake is in our country, but I have eaten it many times.

Today I made this recipe myself for the first time and I want to feed this cake to my Steemian friend @Shahid76 brother . I want to share this popular Sri Lankan food with him, but I want to share it with him and taste this cake together by going on a trip. Because we can eat the taste of this cake with joy and satisfaction.

I know @shahid76 brother will be very happy to see this cake because he owes me a treat and I share the cake with him and I want to fill that treat through the cake.
