We finally got it!

Hi everyone! I´m so happy today because we finally got it!!

Yes, the cake! I´m sure you remember my last post about our inhability to bake a good cake. After researching a little bit we solved the problem with the temperature of the oven, setting it at 220º and it was perfect.

There you have a picture with the ingredients and the steps we followed as said in the previous post:


And the final result

 Yummy!

I would like to share it with you for a taste, but is not possible this time.
Anyway, I´m sure you all have tried this recipe out and you have baked a great cake. Enjoy!

It´s not that easy!

Well, well, well... since we have plenty time to spend at home, we have decided to try baking...

How can it be so difficult performing simple recipes? 

We have everything we need: the proper ingredients and all the rest (a whisk for the mixture, a cake pan, an oven for  the baking) and we have followed all the steps... But something has gone wrong...our cakes are undercooked! 😕

Today, we have decided to try it again. I´m pretty sure that it must be something to do with the temperature in the oven, 
let´s see...

Firstly, have a look at this link to learn some more cooking vocabulary.

Secondly, you can have a look at this Yogurt cake recipe 
(which I´m going to do later!).

After reading the recipe, you can watch this video from a Spanish speaker so it will be easier to understand.




Finally, watch  this other video with a similar recipe from Tesco store.


And now...I´m going to bake my cake! What about you? Why don´t you try too?
I´ll show you my results in a while...

Tea cup inspiration


Hi everyone! I was having breakfast this morning when I had a sort of inspiration...
Have a look at my tea cup, please!
                                               


I started to think of the story of the slogan "Keep calm and carry on". I´m sure you have seen it many times, but do you really know about its origins?
You can click on the poster below to learn about it.



 


You can also watch this very short video with the most important facts of the story.


After reading the article and watching the video, look for any words you don´t understand in Wordreference Online dictionary.
Then, write them down on your notebook and try to read and watch them again.

Hope you liked it!
