A: Alright, now I want to explain to you precisely how I bake a cake.
A: KUCHEN3
A: kuchen
A: BACKEN3A
A: backen
A: You need flour, eggs, sour cream, sugar, cocoa powder and what else? That’s it. I think, that’s it.
A: I use a mixer to mix all the ingredients together until the dough has a good, solid consistency. That’s how long I mix it.
A: Good. Then I take a baking tray out of the oven and place a sheet of baking paper on it.
A: On it, I spread out the dough evenly.
A: Good. Then I put it in the oven. Then you have to wait for about 45 minutes. When the cake is ready, I take it out.
A: Then I mix water or lemon juice with sugar, with P-U-D-E-R [powder; meaning powdered] sugar, and whisk everything until it has a good, smooth consistency.
A: Once the cake is baked, you spread the mixture on it while it is still warm. You have to be quick about it.
A: Good. Then you take these colorful candy sprinkles made of sugar. These little sticks, you spread them on the cake. And then the cake is ready.
A: Then you can eat it. It’s also called Luftkuchen [lit. air cake]
