When baking cakes, remember the following:

➢ Cakes are better eaten warm.
➢ Hot dishes can burn you if you touch them.
➢ You must measure the ingredients carefully.
➢ It is better to enjoy them while they are fresh.

Let’s think about some important details when making a chocolate cake.

Ingredients:

➢ 100 grams of flour
➢ 100 grams of sugar
➢ 100 grams of butter
➢ 2 eggs
➢ Chocolate – real chocolate or powdered

If you follow the instructions carefully, it will be delicious.

1) Buy all of the ingredients in advance and use them while they are still fresh.

2) Measure out the main ingredients - eggs, flour, butter and sugar - very carefully and then mix them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take 5 to 10 minutes. It is easier if the butter is already soft.

3) Add the melted chocolate when the mixture has cooled in the fridge for 10 minutes. If you add real chocolate, melt it very gently and slowly. If you overheat the chocolate, it will go lumpy and you will not be able to use it.If you prefer to add powdered chocolate instead of melted chocolate, make sure it is sieved first and then add it slowly to the cake mixture.

4) Turn on the oven so that it is warm enough when you are ready to put he mixture in to cook, and so that the cake is cooked evenly.

5) Pour the mixture into a greased dish (or 2 dishes).

6) When the dishes are ready, put them in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes.

7) When the cake is ready, remember not to touch the baking dish with your hands when you take it out of the oven as it will be too hot. Use an oven glove.

8) اخرج الكعكة من علبتها واتركها لكي تبرد.

8) Turn the cake out of its tin and leave to cool.

9) Once cool, cut a slice and enjoy.
