Hello. All are correct. 1 and 3 could imply designation and/or selection, such the one he ate.

Hello.
All are correct. 1 and 3 could imply designation and/or selection, such the one he ate.
The other two, I believe, are more about how than which - the cake had currants in it, that's how it was.

Thank you MIG.
I agree. But I am not sure that that solution would work in all cases.
I just wanted to see if my sentences were viable or not.
Respectfully,

I am sorry.
I would say both are correct (but I think your first and third sentences are more clear).
I am a learner like you so please wait for a teacher.

Thank you MIG,
If you are a learner, maybe it would be better to wait until a teacher replies to other people's questions. I think that way there would be no confusion.
