Just try not to laugh as I tell you about the time I made my sister a
birthday cake! I'm not the greatest baker, but I was following a recipe. I
mixed everything together just right and poured the batter into the pan.
Then I placed it in the oven and set the temperature to 400 degrees,

Everything was perfect until my sister cut into the cake. As she
removed the first slice, uncooked batter oozed out from the middle of
the cake. Guests looked at me with a mixture of shock and

preheating the oven. We had fun retelling the story over ice cream
