Based on the above poll I will make a cake. What will the cake be like? Please add responses!

Good and bad and resembling a cake are all subjective concepts, admittedly. As such I won't bet on any subjective items in this market (objective ones like eg if someone adds "it will be less than 50% flour" I might).

In general, I have a sweet tooth, so something that resembles a milkshake or smoothie might be considered good. Also, if it resembles bread it might be considered good, too.

Resembling a cake will mean, for the purposes of the market: "was something produced that, after baking, forms a single solid?" - as distinct from "pile of damp flour" or "milkshake", which are the two extremes of the scale with "resembling a cake" in the centre. That is to say, a literal loaf of bread would qualify as "resembling a cake" for the purposes of this market. As would, I struggle to admit, a cookie or brownie.

I intend to do my best for this market. If the ingredients skew liquidy, I'll try baking them like macarons, or something (I might solicit advice).

My husband @Paulf4db might also taste it to aid in judging but I'll be the final arbiter. As in all my subjective markets, requests for clarification are solicited.
