My First Baking

      I decided to bake a cake because my parents can bake bread so I thought that it would be good to learn how to bake a cake from my parents. It was my first time baking thus, I just tried to make this cake called 'chiffon cake' without decorations. While I was baking, my mother helped me baking a lot and I found interests during baking. First of all, I prepared the ingredients which are following :

 

white sugar

cake flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

corn powder

1/2 cup vegetable oil

6 egg yolks

6 egg whites

I combined baking powder with cake flour and I divided suger into 2 cups because there are two times which need to put suger. And I needed to separate the eggs into yolks and whites then put them in different places. 

 Firstly, I put 6 egg whites into a bowl and put it int the fridge to make it cold. A few minutes later, I took out the bowl and used electric beater to beat the egg whites until it became stiff. While I beat the egg whites, I gradually put some sugers. Secondly, in another bowl, I put egg yolks and beat them until smooth and light. After I beat the egg yolks, I put the vegetable oil and a little bit of water into it and beat them again. Cake flour and baking powder were poured into the bowl later and I mixed the contents.

 Then, I mixed the contents of two bowls using a rubber spatula until the contents perfectly mixed and when it was done, it meant that I finished making batter!

I poured the batter into angel food tube pan.

And then, I preheated oven to 160 degrees C.

5 minutes later, I put the angel food tube pan into the oven.

I took the pan out of the oven after 50 minutes and cooled it. Then, I pulled out the cake from the pan. 

     As it was the first time of baking, it was not perfect. I hope next time I will be able to bake better so that I can make a decorated cake. It was  also collaboration with my mother. She gave me some advices such as I need to beat fast not to lose the foam. I learned lots of skills about baking. I felt I could bake a cake alone next time without my mother's help. In conclusion, the learning outcomes of this challenge - baking 'chiffon cake' are :

- Undertaken new challenges

- Worked collaboratively with others

- Developed new skills
