It usually works out best if you split the cake between two smaller pans to bake. So we’ll use the smaller pans, and we’ll divide the batter between them, one pan will be twice the size of the other. We want to add at least two extra spoonfuls of batter to the smaller pan, as the amount you add to a pan is going to expand while baking and soak up the liquids you put in it. So let’s start with 6 eggs, 4 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup of sugar. One of these eggs is really big, and the others are smaller. We’ll put them in a separate mixing bowl, then we’ll use the beater to break them up, and we’ll combine the flour and milk to make a paste. Now, you’ll notice that the larger egg will be the one making this much bigger than the others. We want to mix the eggs into the dry mixture and also the milk and sugar, and then we want to add a tablespoon of vanilla. The vanilla is important, it’s really what makes the cake taste so good! Now we want to stir everything together, and it’s important to be patient and use a whisk. Once the eggs are all mixed together we’ll add the wet ingredients. Now, we want to mix everything really well to make sure it’s all mixed evenly. We’ll mix for a full three minutes, we’ll let the mixer run at high speed for two minutes, and then we’ll run it at medium speed for one minute. Then we’ll stop the mixer, take the whisk out, and take the bowl of batter off the mixer. Next, we’ll use the same whisk to beat the batter in the bowl, so that the air bubbles go away and it’s completely mixed. We don’t want any clumps. Once the bubbles have been beaten away, we’ll pour in the batter into two smaller pans. In the larger pan, we’ll pour in three cups of batter, and in the smaller pan we’ll pour in two cups. We want to fill the smaller pan to the very brim, and even pour over some extra batter if we have it.

It usually works out best if you split the cake between two smaller pans to bake. So we’ll use the smaller pans, and we’ll divide the batter between them, one pan will be twice the size of the other. We want to add at least two extra spoonfuls of batter to the smaller pan, as the amount you add to a pan is going to expand while baking and soak up the liquids you put in it. So let’s start with 6 eggs, 4 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup of sugar. One of these eggs is really big, and the others are smaller. We’ll put them in a separate mixing bowl, then we’ll use the beater to break them up, and we’ll combine the flour and milk to make a paste. Now, you’ll notice that the larger egg will be the one making this much bigger than the others. We want to mix the eggs into the dry mixture and also the milk and sugar, and then we want to add a tablespoon of vanilla. The vanilla is important, it’s really what makes the cake taste so good! Now we want to stir everything together, and it’s important to be patient and use a whisk. Once the eggs are all mixed together we’ll add the wet ingredients. Now, we want to mix everything really well to make sure it’s all mixed evenly. We’ll mix for a full three minutes, we’ll let the mixer run at high speed for two minutes, and then we’ll run it at medium speed for one minute. Then we’ll stop the mixer, take the whisk out, and take the bowl of batter off the mixer. Next, we’ll use the same whisk to beat the batter in the bowl, so that the air bubbles go away and it’s completely mixed. We don’t want any clumps. Once the bubbles have been beaten away, we’ll pour in the batter into two smaller pans. In the larger pan, we’ll pour in three cups of batter, and in the smaller pan we’ll pour in two cups.

Then it’s important to cool it slowly on a rack, or you’ll have trouble getting the cake out of the pan. In general, your goal is to get the cake out of the pan as fast as possible, so that it doesn’t sit in the pan for very long and you can eat it sooner.", "role": "assistant" } ]

You'll stand with your hands resting on a bench, or a squat rack. Then you'll straighten your arms until they're extended, and let your hips dip down towards the floor. A common mistake people make is to let their hips travel too far forward. It's not advisable to let the hips come all the way down, as this can impact the backs of the legs. You might also feel a sensation of \"burn\" in your shoulder, but this is a sign that you are doing the exercise correctly.
