Sure, I can help you learn how to make a cake in English. Here's a basic recipe for a classic chocolate cake:
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine Mixtures:
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Add Boiling Water:
Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
6. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7. Cool the Cakes:
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Frost the Cake:
Once the cakes are cool, you can frost them with your favorite frosting. Some popular choices include chocolate buttercream, vanilla buttercream, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
9. Assemble the Cake:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the sides.
10. Decorate and Serve:
Decorate the cake with any additional toppings or decorations you like. Slice and serve!
Remember, baking is an art as much as a science, so feel free to adjust the recipe to your taste preferences. Enjoy your baking!
