Butter


Butter is made using cream from cow's milk. First, the milk is put into a machine called a seperater. The seperater seperates the milk from the cream, and then the cream is put into a churner. It is left in the churner for 3-4 days, then it is churned. Churning takes about an hour. After churning, salt is added to the butter.

Eggs

Eggs are a key ingredient to cake. Eggs are laid by chickens, then collected by farmers. Some eggs contain 2 yolks. Double-yolked eggs are generally bigger than normal eggs, so are usually easily distinguishable from other eggs. Farmers will hold eggs that might contain a second yolk up to a bright light so they can see whats inside, to make sure there is a double yolk before it can be sold.
