I did not encounter any difficulty while preparing this cake everything went perfectly well, because by this time I've already mastered how to do cake very well. The little thing I noticed is that the cake batter did not settle very well in the pan thus making it comes out shapeless. But I've already taken note of that correction I'll correct it in my next baking. >Explain the importance of each of the ingredients you used in making this cake. Just like every ingredient are important while cooking food, every ingredient is also important while baking cake. Some of this ingredient plays a vital role to make the cake comes out tasty, fluffy and appetising. * Flour; it is an active ingredient and it important as it forms the base of the cake. * Butter; makes the cake fluffy and it also serves as a moisturizer. * Sugar; it serves as a sweetener and a moisturizer when mixed with butter, without it, the taste of the cake won't be achieved successfully. * Egg; is very necessary in a cake as it binds other ingredients together, it also serves as a moisturizer, it helps the cake to be soft and smooth rather than being so hard. * Vanilla flavour; it helps to achieve a nice flavour in the cake, without the cake having a nice flavour, it won't be appetizing to eat. * Baking powder; it is a leavening agent that helps the cake to rise, becomes light and fluffy so without baking powder the cake will be so dense. * Coffee; this is the outstanding ingredient in this cake, it flavour brings more richness to the cake and aside from the flavour it balances the taste of the cake. It gives the cake that beautiful brownish-like or chocolate colour cake. * Milk; it serves as a moisturizer, it helps to improve the taste and the texture of the cake It also add flavour and brownish colour to cake. Milk on it own has it own healthy benefits. So all this contributed to 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 Children love cake and of course if I wear to give my cake to steemit friend, i think i will give to @dequeen so she can give it to her smart kids. I believe the kids will really love that coffee flavour, then the colour the coffee give the cake makes it look really appetising I like the creamy look and because my daughter like that too so I feel dequeen kids would like the cake. I also chooses her because she is actively participating in this contest and so is eager to taste another baker cake. I also need some to vert or rate my baking skills probably it could helps me improve my baking skills, build my confidence in mass production for sales. Therefore, i will give dequeen cake to have a professional feedback.
