Today is Jonathon's birthday. He is turning 5. I would like to make him a cake

First, I need to put on my apron and wash my hands.

I need to choose my recipe! I want to bake a chocolate cake because Jonathon loves chocolate.

I need to check that I have all my ingredients and cooking utensils.

Yep - got them all! I'm ready to start cooking!

Mum helps me turn on the oven so it can start getting nice and hot.

I measure out my ingredients and pour them all in the mixing bowl. I am careful I don't spill them!

I mix my ingredients until the mixture is nice and smooth! I then pour the mixture into my cake tin.

Mum helps me put the tin into the oven. We have to be careful because it is very hot and we don't want to burn ourselves. While I wait for my cake to cook, I play with my dog, Rufus.
