Hi bakers! I hope you're hungry because today we're going to make a delicious cake! What do you need for this cake? Just butter, sugar, flour and eggs. Simple, right? Let's starting!
First, heat the oven to about 180°C. This is important! If your oven temperature is uncorrect, your cake won't cook well.
Now, mixing one cup of butter and two cups of sugar in a big bowl. Don't stops until it looks creamy. Like this! Next, grab four eggs and crack them into the bowl. Slowly add three cups of flour, a little at a time, and mix everything together. Then, pour the mix into a cake pan.
Our cake is ready to go into the oven! This cake takes about 45 minutes to bake. But you shouldn't check it after 40 minutes, just in case. Stick a toothpick into the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready! Look at this! A beautiful cake! If you're like me, you probably want to eat it right away, but you have better let it cool down for a few minutes first. Don't be inpatient. It will be worth it. Trust me! Please sharing your thoughts about this cake in the comments section!

My Homemade Pencil Case
I enjoy doing DIY projects in my free time. Making a pencil case with old jeans is one of my favorite projects—it’s easy and creative!
What do you need for this project? An old pair of jeans, a pair of scissors, a needle, some thread, and a few buttons.
The first step is to cut a rectangle from the leg of the jeans. The size can be about 20 cm long and 15 cm wide. Next, fold the rectangle in half and sew the two long sides together with the needle and thread. You’d better sew carefully to make sure it’s strong. Then, turn it inside out so the stitches are not visible. After that, sew on the buttons as decorations. You can also add a small pocket on the front if you like. Now your pencil case is ready!
This DIY project is wonderful because it turns old jeans into something useful. It also lets me show my creativity. I feel proud every time I use my unique pencil case!
