This session is about students using the creaming method to make a simple cake. It provides the opportunity to use a hand-held electric mixer, although you may wish the students to 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. As with other sessions, it also provides you with the opportunity to assess students’ practical capability. You could use the practical observation sheet to help.
