A: OK, so are you ready to learn how to bake a cake?
好的，你现在准备好了如何做一块蛋糕了吗?
B: Almost, let me just put my apron on.
差不多，让我把我的围裙穿上。
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，第一件事就是我们要预热一下锅，这样的话等到锅达到需要的问题，我们的准备工作也就做好了。设置温度是370华氏温度。
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.
接下来，把一些黄油和糖轻轻地搅拌直到很均匀。然后加入香草精和鸡蛋，继续搅拌。
B: Do I have to use a whisk or can I use the electric mixer?
我能用搅拌器或者电动搅拌器吗?
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.
可以用搅拌器，但是要调到中速。我想分别筛选面粉和发酵粉，然后再混合加入牛奶。
B: OK, so now we need a baking pan right?
好的，我们现在就需要个烤盘，对吗?
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涂上粉，免得烘烤的时候蛋糕粘在上面了。
B: Done. So how long do we bake it for?
做好了。烘烤这个要花多久的时间?
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.
我们需要把它放在那儿25分钟。然后在从盘子上拿走之前，让它先冷却十分钟。
B: Wow! This was a lot easier than I thought!
哇!这个比我想象的要简单!
