VANILLA ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH MANGO-GINGER SAUCE
Mango sauce enhanced with crystallized ginger complements this delicious low-fat cake.
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups egg whites (about 11 large)
2 teaspoons warm water
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Powdered sugar
Thinly sliced crystallized ginger (optional)
Mango-Ginger Sauce
Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift 1/2 cup sugar, flour and salt into medium bowl 5 times. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in large (at least 4-quart) bowl until foamy. Add 2 teaspoons warm water and cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar and vanilla and beat until stiff but not dry. Sift sugar-flour mixture over whites 1/4 cup at a time and gently fold in.
Transfer batter to ungreased 12-cup angel food cake pan with removable bottom (do not use nonstick pan).
Bake until cake is light golden, top springs back when touched lightly and cake begins to pull away from sides of pan, about 45 minutes. Remove cake from oven. Turn cake pan upside down; place center tube of pan over narrow bottle neck or funnel. Cool cake completely.
Using knife, cut around sides and center tube of pan to loosen cake. Push up cake. Cut cake from bottom of pan. Transfer to platter. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Wrap tightly with plastic and store at room temperature.) Dust cake with powdered sugar. Garnish with crystallized ginger, if desired. Serve with Mango-Ginger Sauce.
Makes 8-10 servings.

It depends on what cake you're making.
1) Beat the eggs
2) Mix it in a bowl with sieved flour, butter and fine sugar
3) Bake it in an oven
This is a simple recipe for butter cookies. It is also a template recipe that I use. If you want chocolate or any other type, just add those choc chips and stuff into the above recipe.

It's really quite easy and fun. There are a number of ways to get you started.
* Have a look in a cookbook for a 'start from scratch' recipie where you do everything yourself.
* Buy a cake mix from your local supermarket, the instructions are really simple and on the back. The flour and icing mixture will be in the pack.
* Buy a ready mad cake base from your local supermarket and you can add cream and jam to the centre aswell as add icing and anything else you fancy!
Have fun! :]
