純正地道美語第325期(外教講解):烘烤蛋糕的步驟
A: OK, so are you ready to learn how to bake a cake?
B: Almost, let me just put my apron on.
差不多，讓我把我的圍裙穿上。A: OK, so the first thing we are going to do is pre-heat the oven, that way we have it at the desired temperature once we finish preparing everything. Set it to three hundred and seventy five degrees Fahrenheit.
好的，第一件事就是我們要預熱一下鍋，這樣的話等到鍋達到需要的問題，我們的準備工作也就做好了。設置溫度是370華氏溫度。
B: Got it.
知道了。A: No we are gonna make the batter. Take some butter and sugar and mix it lightly until you have a nice consistency. Then add some vanilla extract and eggs and continue mixing.
接下來，把一些黃油和糖輕輕地攪拌直到很均勻。然後加入香草精和雞蛋，繼續攪拌。B: Do I have to use a whisk or can I use the electric mixer?
我能用攪拌器或者電動攪拌器嗎？A: Go ahead and use the mixer, but put it on medium speed. I'm gonna sift the flour and baking powder separately and then we can mix it with milk and the rest of the ingredients.
可以用攪拌器，但是要調到中速。我想分別篩選麪粉和發酵粉，然後再混合加入牛奶。B: OK, so now we need a baking pan right?
好的，我們現在就需要個烤盤，對嗎？A: Yeah, but grease and flour it first so the cake won't stick to it when it bakes.
是的，但是先得在上面抹上油塗上粉，免得烘烤的時候蛋糕粘在上面了。B: Done. So how long do we bake it for?
做好了。烘烤這個要花多久的時間？A: We can leave it in there for about twenty five minutes. Then we let it cool for ten minutes before we remove the cake from the pan.
我們需要把它放在那兒25分鐘。然後在從盤子上拿走之前，讓它先冷卻十分鐘。B: Wow! This was a lot easier than I thought!
哇！這個比我想象的要簡單！
