I recently discovered the Yuppie Chef Online School. I am currently doing the course The Art of Baking and am loving it. I have learnt so much. The first lesson was on baking a cake. I immediately went and made the first lesson.
Step 1: Get all the ingredients and tools together. I learnt that it was easier to do this. And the recipe goes so much quicker. What also do is as I'm finished with the ingredients I pack them away just in case I left out an ingredient.
Step 2: It is important to prepare the baking sheets before you start putting the ingredients together because the batter needs toy go into the oven as son as it is mixed.
Step 3: Creaming the butter and sugar is very important in order to havce a nice creramty cake.
Step 4: Sifting the drty ingredients mean that the batter becomes nice and light.
Step 5: I learnt a very important lesson. When putting the flour and eggs it is better to put them in the creamed mixture at intervals.
Step 6: Once the batter is mixed put the cdoffee in but remember to mix it ibn with water before adding it to the batter.
Step 7: Pour the batter into the baking tins and spread it even with ta spatula.
Step 8: Once baked take the cake out
