In this lesson, there weren't any hard grammar topics introduced. You had the chance to expand your vocabulary and to practice a bit more past tense and other grammar elements you have learned so far.
Mensch actually means "person" or "human". Do not confuse this word with Mann which means "man". In the English translation for this lesson it says "man" just because "Oh human" doesn't really sound that good in English.
There are two words for "cake" in German. Most commonly used is Kuchen which is a general term for a cake. If you talk about a fancy layered cake, you would probably use the word Torte in German.
am liebsten is a superlative of the adverb gern (with pleasure). If you want to say you like doing something, you will use the adverb gern. If you want to say that you would rather do something else, you will use the comparative lieber. If you want to say that you like to do something the best, you would use the superlative am liebsten.
lief is preterit of laufen. If you want to say that everything goes well, you will say "alles läuft gut". In the past tense, it is "alles lief gut".
This is denn a conjunction, not "den" the definite article. "Adler"(eagle) has plural "Adler" so we can determine that this sentence talks about "eagles", in plural, by "sind" which means "(they) are".
