Lesson 17 - giovedì 25 febbraio 2011

Today I decided to take part in the cake competition started by Giulio and prepared my chocolate cake, in order to make our English lesson sweet...
You can find the recipe in the section "Ricette" under "Dolci": it is really an easy cake and you need only 30 minutes to make and cook it.

Sweet disposition - The Temper Trap (you can find the lyrics and the video in the section "Musica" under "Canzoni")
