i didnt know u put salt in the cake

[spogmai shaglay]

Is salt necessary? I dont think so

if the shortening u are using is salted like if u are using salted butter then no need to add salt to it...

salt enhances the taste of any sweet thing....

taste a cake made with salted butter and 1 with unsalted... u will understand the difference in taste,,, hence the addition of salt.....
