My Reflection

My partner Emma and I made an apple fanned out skillet cake with cinnamon and brown sugar. The cake was a flour mixture and it was the quick-bread method; because we used baking soda and baking powder instead of yeast. The apples were sliced super thinly to layer on top of the cake and sprinkled lightly with cinnamon sugar on the top to caramelize and to add more flavour and candy the apples. This lab really put me to the test because I can be a power-house sometimes, but I took a step back and Emma made the entire cake and I was in charge of slicing the apples very thinly. I knew this was going to be a hard task for me but I would ask her if she needed help or if she was doing okay, so we built teamwork and trust in each other. Our cake turned out to be one of the best cakes in the class and was light and fluffy but still a little bit dense. The warm caramelized apples on the top of the cake tasted delicious together.
