How to Make Birthday Cake

Andy : Hi Marie, how are you? I need you help. I want to make a birthday cake for my
mom’s birthday.
Marie : Hi Andy, I am good. Will tell you how to make it.
First, you have to prepare some ingredients, such as 7 eggs, 1 teaspoon of baking
powder, 1 ½ glass of flour, 1 glass of sugar, 1 tablespoon of chocolate powder, 2 tablespoon
of melted chocolate, and 250 grams of melted butter.
Andy : What next?
Marie : Next, you have to prepare a big bowl, eggs, and baking powder altogether.
Then, you mix them all and pour the melted chocolate, chocolate powder and
melted powder.
Andy : Wait. It sounds an easy thing to do. I bet I can make a delicious birthday cake for my
mom.
Marie : Are you sure? The baking process is not finished yet. The next step is to stir it with
spatula evenly, then prepare the baking pan covered with butter and flour. Later, pour
the dough gently and bake it for 30 minutes.
Andy : Wait! Now it sounds like a long baking process.
