Vocabulary: making a cake... - English lesson
Lucy likes cooking, but mostly, she loves pastry cooking, because she's so greedy! She has decided to take part in a "gourmet competition" .
She has chosen to make the famous 1-2-3 and 1/2 Cake, also called Yogurt Cake or « Mickey's Cake ». You can make several different varieties enriching the basic recipe:
- the apple one is called « Minnie's Cake » and the chocolate and pears one (So delicious! ) is « Donald Duck's Cake ».
The most important thing to remember is that no ingredient needs to be weighed (and it makes things much easier for very young kids... and their parents! ) You just have to use the empty container of the initial yogurt and fill it again with the different ingredients according to the pattern: 1- 2- 3- ½.
