thx for your reply Mr Micauber. so, are all of the phrase (some of the.., all of the.., most of the..) can be followed by either singular noun or plural noun?

Yes (although my first post did not say that correctly), if the noun can be divided into pieces.
All of the cake is gone = every piece of the one cake is gone.
All of the cakes are gone = every one of several cakes is gone.
All of the cake is gone = every piece of the one cake is gone.
All of the cakes are gone = every one of several cakes is gone.
