Step 1: Click on the gear icon on the upper right side of the screen, indicating the settings in PancakeSwap. Step 2: Input the price slippage tolerance according to your desire. Press the “Exit” button and see if the “Insufficient Liquidity For This Trade” error no longer occurs.

You can trade BNB for CAKE, both ways, so you can Buy CAKE with BNB, and you can sell CAKE for BNB. PancakeSwap allows you to stake CAKE to earn more CAKE, which is how the passive income is built. There are two ways to start gaining CAKE, Farms, and Pools. Farms is a way to provide liquidity to two tokens.

Whenever someone trades on PancakeSwap, for each hop (swap) in each Exchange V2 liquidity pool, the trader pays a fixed 0.25% fee, of which 0.17% is added back to the Liquidity Pool in a form of trading fees.

High liquidity indicates a large number of participants and active trading, leading to smoother transactions and lesser price volatility. Conversely, low liquidity implies fewer participants and less trading activity, which can result in higher price volatility and trading challenges.

This is probably an issue with one of the tokens you are swapping. Try again, but confirm (sign and broadcast) the transaction as soon as you generate it. This happened because you started making a transaction, but you didn't sign and broadcast it until it was past the deadline.
