In this one-time, 120 minute class, learners will learn how to make a Coconut Cloud Cake.. We'll learn how to both make a simple coconut cake, a simple coconut filling, and a 7-Minute frosting for the cake. I will make sure learners have a copy of the recipe before class meets. My class will be very structured, in that we will follow the Coconut Cloud Cake recipe in the recipe's steps, as they are listed. I will begin class by teaching learners the correct precautions to take while handling food items, i.e. washing hands, making sure loose clothing is secured, making sure hair is pulled back out of the way, and making sure learners are prepared to learn how to make the Coconut Cloud Cake. My teaching style in cooking classes is to demonstrate each step of the recipe, and make sure students are following along. I will field any questions from students as the class progresses. We will discuss the recipe itself, the recipe steps, and the finished product. Learners do not need to have any prior cooking experience to take this class. However, each student should know how to turn on both the stovetop and oven in their respective home kitchens, and know how to use an electric hand mixer. Learners should have all of the utensils, equipment, and ingredients set out and ready to use 10 minutes before class begins. Learners should read the recipe before class begins, as well.
Learning Goals
In this class, students will learn how to make a homemade Coconut Cloud Cake, coconut filling, and homemade 7-Minute frosting. Students will begin this class by learning proper kitchen safety measures. Students will first learn how to make the Coconut Cloud Cake batter, and then they will learn how to make 7-Minute frosting. Finally, students will learn how to properly bake the Coconut Cloud cake, how to make a simple coconut filling, and 7-Minute frosting for the cake.
