Summarize the following:
Lightly grease the inside of two 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) cake pans. Cut two 8-inch (20.32-centimeter) circles out of parchment paper, and place one inside of each cake pan. Pour the all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl, then add the sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir everything together with a whisk until the ingredients are distributed evenly throughout the flour. Pour your choice of non-dairy milk (such as soy) into a medium mixing bowl. Add the light cooking oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until evenly combined. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture first. Pour the wet mixture into the well, then stir everything together with a rubber spatula. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl so that everything gets mixed in evenly. Be careful not to over-mix, however! Scrape any leftover cake batter out of the bowl and into the pans with a rubber spatula so that you don't waste anything. Once you have the batter in, gently tap the sides of the pans to release any air bubbles. The cakes are ready when a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with crumbs on it, bake the cakes at 5-minute intervals until they are done; do the toothpick test between each interval. Run a knife around the inside of each pan, then flip the pans upside down to remove the cakes. Peel the parchment paper off of each cake. Use a stand mixer to mix together the vegan butter, vegetable shortening, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Keep mixing until the frosting turns creamy and forms peaks. If the frosting is too stiff, add 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 milliliters) of non-dairy milk, then mix again. Place one of the cakes onto a place. Use an off-set cake decorating spatula to spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Place the second cake on top, and spread more frosting over the top. Finish off by spreading the remaining frosting down the sides of the stacked cakes. For a fancier cake, use a spatula to create swirly patterns in the frosting.

summary: Preheat your oven to 350F (180C). Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together the wet ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ones. Distribute the batter evenly between both cake pans. Bake the cakes in the middle of the oven for about 40 minutes. Allow the cakes to cool before removing them from the pans. Prepare the frosting. Fill and frost the cake.

These methods will also work with similar free software, like Google Slides or OpenOffice Impress, but the button locations and options may vary. You click on text or images to animate. To select a whole text box, click on the border of the text box. Powerpoint automatically distinguishes text separated by a paragraph or bullet break. If your Powerpoint has no objects to animate, you will need to add some. This is located in the top menu bar and will display a variety of animation options and controls. These are split into 4 categories: entrances, exits, emphasis, and paths. The most recently selected animation will be set to that object and added to the animation pane. You can click through the animations to see a demonstration and view more animations by scrolling with the arrows on the right of the animations box. Entrance animations will change how an object enters the page. Exit animations will change how an object leaves the page. Emphasis animations will add movement or highlights to bring attention to an object. Paths determine a course of movement for an object on the page. Select an animation effect from the dropdown. If you attempt to add an animation without first clicking "Add Animation" it will replace the existing animation instead of adding to it. This step can be repeated multiple times to add as many animations to an object as you like. This button is located in the "Advanced Animation" section of the "Animation" toolbar and will bring up a panel displaying your selected animations on the right. This can be a useful tool for staying organized when working with multiple animations. Select one of the options from the "Start" dropdown in the "Timing" section on the right of the Animations toolbar: "On mouse click", "After previous" or "With previous". "On Mouse Click" will hold the animation until you click the mouse. "After Previous" will automatically start the animation after any previous animation (or when the slide appears if there are no other animations) "With Previous" will play the animation at the same time as the previous animation on that slide. Click the up or down arrows next to "Delay" in the "Timing" section to change the amount of time delay that occurs before an animation takes place. The delay begins after the selected animation action. That is if "On Click" is selected, the delay will start after the click. Click the up or down arrows next to "Duration" in the "Timing section to change the speed of the animation. A higher duration means the animation will move at a slower speed. Use the arrows in the "Timing" section under the "Reorder Animation" header to move an animation earlier or later in the queue. You can also click and drag animation listings in the animation pane. In the Animation Pane, click the down arrow next to an animation and select "Effect Options" from the context menu. Go to the "Effect" tab in the window that appears and choose from the menu under "Enhancements" to select a sound effect from a list or add one manually. Choosing to add a sound manually will open up a window to browse for sound files on your computer, so you will need to have one handy. This button is on the left side of the Animations tab and will run through the animations on the selected slide.

summary: Open Powerpoint. Click on the object you would like to animate. Go to the "Animations" tab. Select the animation you would like. Click "Add Animation" to add extra animations to an object. Click "Animation pane" (optional). Select an activation option for the animation. Adjust the animation delay. Adjust the animation duration. Reorder animations. Add a sound effect to an animation. Click "Preview".

Place the tack strips about 0.25 to 0.5 inches (0.64 to 1.27cm) from the wall in a straight line. Make sure the tacks are pointed toward the wall, not the center of the room. Use 2 nails for each strip, nailing it into the wood below. Some tack strips come with the nails already in place, and you just hit them in. If you need to cut a strip to size, slice through it with a handsaw. On concrete, you may be able to just pound it in the same way if the concrete is soft enough. If not, drill holes where the nails go using a concrete bit of the same size and then pound aluminum nails in. You'll also need tacking strips around things like floor vents. Roll out the padding, starting from one side of the room and moving to the other. Slice it off with a box cutter when you get to the other wall, making sure you have enough on both ends. Cut it just on the inside of the tack strips. Roll out the next set of padding right next to the first. Make sure you're matching up the seams evenly so that you don't have hills and valleys on the floor. Walk across the floor and press staples into place every 2 feet (0.61m) or so. Also, make sure to staple the padding along the inside edge of the tacking strip to hold it in place against the strip. With concrete, you need to put padding glue down underneath the padding instead. In that case, just lift up one side at a time to apply the glue in an even layer. After you've rolled and cut the whole floor, use a long piece of duct tape down each seam. You may need to use more than 1 strip, but the duct tape will help keep the seams together. Smooth it out with your hands to make sure it won't come up.
summary: Nail the tack strips into place as needed. Lay out the padding on the floor. Staple the padding into place with a staple gun. Duct tape the seams together.
