This week I took a bold stride into baking field, where I had never set foot in. Although it turned out to be a tragic failure T^T, I derived even more pleasure from this attempt.
The
following are the ingredients I used :
1.
fresh orange juice
2.
flour
3.
baking powder
4.
vanilla powder
5.
eggs
6.
brandy (orange flavor)
7.
sugar
8.
walnuts
9.
light olive oil
10.
orange peel
Here
is the procedure :
1.
Apply a layer of olive oil and flour on the baking tray.
2.
Have the eggs and sugar stirred, and add the orange
juice, vanilla powder, olive oil , and crumbs of the orange peel.
3.
Add flour(1 cup), walnuts(1 cup), baking powder into what
I have prepared, and mix them evenly.
4.
Put the mixture into the oven, which is already
preheated to 190 degrees), and wait for 30 minutes.
5.
Take the cake out of the baking tray after it becomes
cool, and then sprinkle some heated brandy and powdered sugar on it.
“A
little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” It proved to be a golden saying when I
took the recipe lightly. From my previous understanding, baking a cake is no
more than an easy job---all I need to do is mix the ingredients together and put
it into the oven. Unfortunately, the outcome
didn’t meet my expectation, because I found my cake so flat that it just looked
like a pie!(sigh) I guess the problem lies in my negligence of the time, I was
so excited that I didn’t wait for the cake to rise. I really learned a
valuable lesson this time.
None of my friends likes cooking - I mean preparing food for himself or herself. It's seemed the magic field where moms and dads should be and adjusted to it.
ReplyDeleteCooking is a magic, I really mean it, to make something uneatable into something that can feed and please people. Don't you feel yourself like a magician when you're cooking :)?
Go tell all your friends you know cooking! They will definitely worship you.
Actually I didn't like cooking before, because of the troublesome procedures and the high probability to fail. However, after I tried it, I found it not as difficult as I thought and considered it fascinating gradually. Even a dull person like me can make it then I'm sure you definitely can!
