Hello everyone and welcome to EnglishPod.
My name is Marco.
My name is Katherine and today EnglishPod is in the kitchen.
That's right today we are going to hit the kitchen and we're gonna bake a cake.
Alright so check out this dialogue first and when we come back we'll be talking about some very key phrases and words for cooking in English.
Okay so are you ready to learn how to bake a cake?
Almost.
Let me just put my apron on.
Okay, so the first thing we're going to do is preheat the oven.
That way we have it at the desired temperature once we finish preparing everything.
Set it to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Got it!
Now we're gonna make the batter.
Take some butter and sugar and mix it lightly until you have a nice consistency.
Then add some vanilla extract and eggs and continue mixing.
Do I have to use the whisk, or can I use the electric mixer?
Go ahead and use the mixer, but put it on medium speed.
I'm going to sift the flour and baking powder separately,
and then we can mix it with milk and the rest of the ingredients.
Okay, so now we need a baking pan, right?
