I met Aunt Sue at the supermarket today. I was surprised to see her trolley filled with flour, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs and even a small electric whisk. I know that she loathes baking. When I asked her, she said that you wanted to bake a cake. I am not an expert in baking, but I have baked quite a few cakes before. Let me share some useful tips with you. If your butter is taken directly from the refrigerator, it will be cold and hard. Try to slice it thinly or grate
it and put it over some warm water for about ten minutes. This will make it easier to mix it with the other ingredients. Most importantly, make sure that you set the correct temperature for the oven. Besides turning on the oven before putting in the mixture, remember to check that the oven rack is placed in the center. This helps to bake the cake evenly. What type of baking tray are you using? If you are using a glass tray, do adjust the oven temperature by about 25°C. I hope you have fun baking your cake. Love, Mary (Adapted from Comprehension Fast Forward 4-J. Lee& G. Y. Shen- SAP) 21.
