Demonstrative speech outline example on how to bake a cake?

Answer 1

Essentially, all you want to do (to keep the speech short, sweet, and to-the-point) is to outline the most basic steps.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN = Preheat the oven to the proper temperature

1) Batter (list ingredients)

* Mix dry ingredients first

* Add in wet ingredients

* Beat / stir / combine until ______ consistency

2) Prepare the baking pan (butter and flour, cooking spray, ect.)

3) Pour the batter into the pan. Don't exceed _______ full (2/3 is usually the limit, or else it over-flows).

4) Place the cake into the oven on the ______ (top, middle, or lower) shelf.

5) Set the timer.

6) To test to see if the cake is done, do the Toothpick Test. (Insert a toothpick into various areas of the cake. Comes out clean = done. Comes out with batter = not done, bake for incriments of 5 more minutes until done).

7) Carefully remove the cake from the oven. Let sit for 5 - 10 minutes.

8) Take out of the pan CAREFULLY (it will be HOT!), let cool for 30 mins before icing, cutting, or eating.

Enjoy!
