Baking was a
very new activity for me, I have never done baking or cooking in my life. Still
I undertook this new challenge. Asmita is very in this, so she
wanted to share this hobby with us. We planned the activity and decided
to meet at her place to conduct the activity. Our mission was to make a cake.
First thing
we did was gathering all the ingredients.
1. 50 grams
flour
2. 50 grams
sugar
3. 50 grams
butter
4. Baking
powder
5. Coco
powder
6. Chocolate
syrup
7. 1 egg
8. Vanilla
essence
Asmita gave
us a demo of how it has to be done and what precautions should be taken. Then we
into pairs, I was with Shradha. Firstly, we sieved the flour in a bowl, 2 spoon
coco powder and half spoon baking powder together. We then beat the egg and
then in a container we added egg and butter together. We grinded the sugar and
added it into the base spoon by spoon and mixed it well. We took precautions
that lumps weren't form. After getting done with sugar, we added flour spoon by
spoon.
We mixed the
mixture properly. Then we added chocolate syrup. We added 1 spoon of vanilla
essence in that. Then we baked that mixture in a microwave on the power of 450
for 5 minutes. After it got ready we waited for 2 minutes to let it cool and
get solid.
In this
activity we worked collaboratively in pairs. Asmita helped us a lot in
this activity. Finally we made 4 delicious cakes in total.
