Cooking Session 13: Celebration

This Licence to Cook practical session focuses on using the creaming method to make a simple cake. It provides the opportunity to use a hand-held electric mixer, although students can make this mixture using a wooden spoon. Weighing and measuring are important aspects of this session, as quantities need to be precise in order for the cake to have a good finish.

During this session, students will make either a Dutch apple cake or a marble pear tray bake. In addition, students are required to line a cake tin and use the oven safely.

Although both of the suggested recipes are traditional cakes, there is scope for students to be creative, selecting different ingredients that could be combined into the dishes.
