Cake, Cookies & Birkat HaMazon

Usually, when one eats cake or cookies the correct bracha would be “borei minei mezonot.” However, there are instances when it may be correct to wash hands, say “ha-motzi” and “birkat hamazon” on such desserts or snacks. Join Rabbi Dovid Fink as he examines how much cake or cookies one must eat to constitute a halachic meal requiring the latter.
