# If a person ate cake or any mezonot the minhag is to recite al hamichya as long as he ate a kezayit of the cake if there is a proportion of 1 portion of 1 flour to 6 parts of the total ingredients.<ref>Mishna Brurah 208:48 writes that even though some poskim hold that it is necessary to eat a kezayit of flour excluding the other ingredients the minhag is to include the other ingredients if there is a ratio of 1 part flour to 6 parts of the total ingredients. Chazon Ovadyah ([[Brachot]] pg 190) accepts this opinion of only requiring 1/6 flour. Birkat Hashem (vol 2, pg 166), Or Letzion (vol 2, pg 169), and [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/displayRead.asp?readID=1565 Daily Halacha (by Rabbi Mansour)] concur.</ref>

==Order of the Al Hamichya, Al Haetz, and Al Hagefen Versions==
# For eating mezonot one recites Al Hamichya, for shivat haminim one recites al haetz, for wine or grape join one recites al hagefen.<ref>Mishna Brurah 208:50</ref>
===Switching Order of Rice and Mezonot===
# Whenever a bracha achrona is effective on a food after the fact it wouldn’t be effective if a person is reciting that bracha achrona for a food which really deserves that bracha achrona and he also ate the food which after the fact would be covered but didn’t have it in mind.<ref>The Minchat Shlomo 1:91:6 writes that when a person recites a bracha achrona it doesn’t exempt a food that it would only exempt after the fact unless that is the only food one is reciting it upon. For example, he says that if a person ate cake and drank wine and recited al hamichya and didn’t mention al hagefen he doesn’t fulfill the obligation of the wine, even though if he just recited an al hamichya over wine only it would be exempt. His proof is that Shulchan Aruch 208:17 writes that after the fact the birkat hamazon exempts wine, but in Shulchan Aruch 299:8 he cites an opinion that havdalah before the meal isn’t exempted by birkat hamazon after the meal and even after the fact one would recite an al hagefen after the birkat hamazon to exempt the wine.</ref>
