For this week's baking, we decided to learn how to make cake. The original plan was to have a decoration contest and have family members vote on who had the better design, however, Logan was not able to bake this week due to unforeseen circumstances. Due to not being able to meet, only Brayden made a cake. To start, I gathered all my ingredients. Once I had my ingredients, I began by whipping together eggs and sugar for 7 minutes. In a separate bowl, I combined flour, baking powder, and salt. From there, I gradually added the flour mixture to the egg mixture, a little at a time while whisking it together. Once the mixtures were well incorporated, I set them aside and prepared the milk mixture. Using a stove to heat the milk, I then added butter to the milk and let it sit until melted. From there, I mixed part of the batter in the milk mixture until it had a foamy consistency. Next, I added the milk and batter mixture with the rest of the batter, mixing slowly. Now came the cooking process. I preheated the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the oven was ready, I put the cake in for 25 minutes. Once it was done baking, I took it out of the oven and let it cool for 45 minutes. Now that it had cooled, it was time to decorate it. I started by preparing all the different color icings I needed: black, brown, blue, yellow, and white. I then decorated the cake as desired. Overall, this week was something different, but it did not pose too much of a challenge, however, there were some difficulties. Trying to get the egg mixture to the right consistency was difficult and decorating the cake was fun but difficult as well. Next week will be part two of making cake with Logan baking his.
