Sarah & Duck Bake a Cake
In Sarah & Duck Bake a Cake, Sarah and Duck are baking a special cake for Duck’s birthday! They mix flour, milk, and baking powder to make it big and fluffy — but oops! The batter spills! Luckily, the cake starts talking and helps them fix it. When the cake comes out of the oven, Sarah realizes it’s now the cake’s birthday, too! So Sarah, Duck, and the talking cake go to the park to celebrate with songs and fruit loaf. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Sarah & Duck, a kids' show about the adventures between seven-year-old Sarah and her quacky, flappy best friend, Duck.
Lesson Express

Q: Why do Sarah and Duck need baking powder for their cake?
