Vocabulary: making a cake...

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.

A few words of vocabulary are necessary to understand what you're doing! 

The ingredients which are necessary for this recipe and the different variants: (Do not forget to use the empty yogurt container to measure the other ingredients!)

One yogurt	2 containers of sugar	2 eggs   *
3 containers of flour	A coffee-spoonful of baking powder	Half a container of vegetable oil

* In Anglo-Saxon countries, white eggs are much appreciated: they're supposed to taste better and be better. In other countries, it's the opposite... Not knowing your preference, I've shown you the two different kinds... You'll have to make your choice! 

Apple or pear cake varieties	2 diced apples	An apple and yogurt cake
A container of cocoa	2 diced pears	The chocolate and pear variety

                                              " Mickey's plain Cake" = The plain Yogurt Cake
