In the small cozy kitchen of her green country home, Josephine pulled out a worn recipe book.
Her grandmother's handwriting danced across the pages, leading her to the secret recipe.
It was not just any recipe; it was for the famous lemon pound cake that won many hearts.
Josephine knew the cake wasn't easy to make. It needed precision, like coding steps in order.
First, gather all ingredients. Then measure each carefully. It was like setting up variables in a code.
Mixing the batter was next. She followed the method: cream butter and sugar, then add eggs, one by one.
After the eggs, she added flour and lemon zest. The sequence was crucial, a loop of precise steps.
The batter was ready. Now, she needed to program the oven: preheat to 350 degrees, just like setting a function.
Once the oven beeped, Josephine knew it was time. She placed the pan inside and set a timer.
Timing was everything. Too long or too short, and the cake would fail, like an error in a code.
The timer rang. Josephine opened the oven. There, golden and perfect, sat the lemon pound cake.
As she let the cake cool, Josephine felt proud. She had followed each step, achieving delicious success.
