Measure it out with the measuring cup. *Mylene takes the knife, cuts the butter in half, measures it to 1/4, and puts it in the bowl. * Sixth, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. *Timmy got the measuring cup measured out 1/2 a cup and poured it into the bowl. * Seventh, 1 egg. *Juleka gets one egg, cracks it in a bowl, and throws the eggshell in the trash. * Eighth, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. *Mylene got the one teaspoon measure out of the vanilla extract and poured it into the bowl.* And ninth, 1/2 a cup of milk. *Timmy opened the top to the milk and poured 1/2 a cup of milk into the measuring cup and poured it in the cup. * Good. That's all the ingredients for the cake. Now let's mix them in the mixer. *He put the bowl on the mixer and turned it on to a low mix. * I'll watch the batter being mixed in, you get the ingredients for the frosting. Get the unsalted butter, make sure it's room temperature, icing sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract.

Tom: Okay. Now just get the unsalted butter and the icing sugar. *Mylene gets the unsalted butter and the icing sugar and places them on the table.* Okay, think it's all mixed in. I'll put the cake in the oven. *He got a round cake pan and sprayed it with non-stick pan spray and poured the cake batter into the pan, went to the oven, opened the door put the cake pan in the oven, and closed it. He grabbed the timer set it to 25 minutes and put the timer down.* Okay. The cake will be baked for 25 minutes. While we wait for the cake to bake, let's work on the frosting. Get the unsalted butter, and make sure it's measured out to 1/4 cup. *Juleka measures out 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, lends the measuring cup to Tom, puts it in the bowl, sets the mixer to 2, and lets it mix for 2 minutes. The two minutes were up and he turned the mixer off. * Okay, that's enough of the mixing. Next is 2/3 of the icing sugar.
