Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: I decided to bake a cake the other day . I took a look around my kitchen and I had everything I needed , so I did n't need to go to the store . I pulled up a recipe on my tablet and started collecting all the ingredients . Once I had everything on the counter , I looked at what measures I would need and got out the cups and teaspoons and all the bowls I 'd need to mix it in . Then I added things like the eggs and milk and mixed it all up using my electric mixer . About halfway through I turned the oven on to preheat . I finished mixing everything and got it into the cake pan . I decided that they would keep for a little while and waited until later that night . When the cake was done I let it cool off and put chocolate frosting on it . Everyone agreed it was a really good cake , and washing the dishes was n't that hard . I think I 'll bake a little more often . Question: What was started out being measured? Option1: cups Option2: The cake ingredients
Output (English): The cake ingredients
