This week I attempted to make a chocolate cake. It was a simple recipe that made a moist, good-tasting cake. All that needed to be done what to add the flour and the other dry ingredients together, and then mix the oil and the rest of the ingredients with it. Then the cake is to be baked at 350 degrees for half and hour.
My goal for this week was for the cake to turn out how I had hoped. This goal was met, and then it wasn’t. I had made two cakes, a small one for home and a big one to bring to class. I tasted the small one and it turned out very well. So I was excited to try the other, until I cut into it and I could tell it hadn’t cooked all the way. Because of this issue, I decided to not serve the cake and potentially bring in another one. This goes to show that there will always be setbacks, but there are always different ways to get things done.
My overall goal for this project is to further my baking skills and my problem-solving skills. I believe this has been a good learning experience, and it had taught me many things, such as: patience, problem-solving, the ability to ask for help, and many other things. I hope to keep baking in the future and hopefully continuing to get better at it.
