KEK COKLAT LEMBAB


Tahun ini, malas betul mahu bake kuih raya. Semua 'tunjuk' saja.
But I gotta bring something for the MIL so I baked a chocolate cake.


I sure hope it tastes as yummy as it looks.

Resepi adalah dari teman baik baik saya,
Ayin.
Saya perlu nyatakan bahawa terlalu mudah membuatnya,
you don't even need a cake mixer. Mudah amatlah. Cubalah!
Sila ke
laman ini untuk mendapatkan resipinya.


*** UPDATED ON 2nd RAYA:
My choc cake was a hit yesterday at the MIL's. People even suggested me to ambil tempahan. I'll give that a thought. Hehe. Jadi, saya sungguhlah recommend resipi ini. I just made another one this morning untuk bawa balik kampung today. Sila cuba buat!

TO BAKE OR TO BREAK?


As usual, my chocolate craving led me into baking.



Chocolate Chocolate-Chips Muffin.

Enjoy them like I did: on a rainy day,
with a cup of warm coffee
and my TV, the ever loyal company :)


THE (very, very easy) RECIPE:

(Thanks to MuffinRecipes.net)


6 t/s of baking cocoa
2 large eggs
1 cup of flour
1 cup of chocolate chips
1 cup of sugar
2 t/s of baking soda
2/3 cups of fresh milk
1/3 cup of butter or vegetable oil
2 t/s of vanilla
1/2 t/s of salt



NOTE: The measurement of the cocoa powder is actually up to you,
depending on how chocolate-y you want your muffin to be.



1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.

2. Coat muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.

3. In a large bowl, combine the cocoa, flour, sugar,
baking soda, butter/oil, salt and vanilla.

4. Stir in half a cup of chocolate chips.

5. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and milk.

6. Add the egg/milk mixtute to the other ingredients until moistened.

7. Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

8. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the middle comes out clean.

9. Cool on a wire rack before removing from the pan.

10. Sprinkle on some icing sugar.
(You should use penapis so that the sugar will
not be clumpy like mine. Ngeee)


And you're good to go! :)


NOTE:
If you want your muffin to look like this instead:


You should add more flour.
Some recipes use 2 cups of flour instead of 1.
I baked this batch for breakfast this morning.
Warm muffin for breakfast... heavenly! :D

DON'T JUDGE A CUPCAKE...


By its look. Ngeee. You will soon know why I said that. Heh.

Saya tiada keinginan untuk memasak pada hari ini.
Jadi Suami telah membelikan Nasi Ayam untuk saya berbuka puasa.

Tetapi seperti kawan saya Cik Zaza, saya juga bernafsu
terhadap sesuatu yang manis! I really really wanted to bake
Chocolate Chip Muffin or Brownies but we are out of fresh milk,
which according to most recipes I found is a very important ingredient.

So instead I made Chocolate Chip Cupcakes!




Ia kelihatan terbantut (kerana saya juga tiada baking soda)
dan tidak cantik seperti kebanyakan kek cawan
(tentunya kerana ketiadaan topping yang comel-comel).

Walaupun tiada nilai estetika, ia sedap
dan cukup memuaskan keinginan saya. Ngeee :D

Oh ya, jika berminat, resipinya mudah dan ada di sini.

NOTA: Do you know that the name "cup" cakes or "measure" cakes
is believed to have developed because of the use of the
practice of measuring the ingredients using a standard-sized cup
instead of the previous practice of weighing the ingredients? Now you do! Heh.

Owh on another (irrelevant) note, saya suka sekali keharuman
dapur saya sesudah dimop dengan cucian lavender. Aaaah :)

CHEWY CHOCY


Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked cookies.
As a result of my nafsu-berpuasa craving yesterday,
I baked a batch of Chocolate Chip Cookies,
and man, terlalulah sedap resipi ini!

I divided the cookies into 2 bekas and by now,
the husband and I have finished eating 1 out of 2 bekas!
Chewy, just-enough sweetness and very-very easy to prepare.




Oh sebelum terlupa, resipi ini berasal dari
AllRecipes.
Saya gemar sungguh resipi yang mengguna sukatan cawan.


THE RECIPE:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips



DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 165 degrees C.

2. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.

3. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt; set aside.

4. In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter,
brown sugar and white sugar until well blended.

5. Beat in the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk until light and creamy.
Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended.

6. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon.

7. Drop cookie dough 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared
cookie sheets. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.

8. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven,
or until the edges are lightly toasted.

9. Cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before
transferring to wire racks to cool completely.



You've got to try it out!
Untuk hasil yang terlalu enak,
persediaannya begitu mudah! Cuba, ya!

TART NENAS LAT TALILAT TALI TAMPLOM

Origin of recipe: Beloved Ibu





RECIPE:

The dough (Bahan A):
3 cawan tepung
1 biji kuning telur
250 g butter
3 sudu ice water

The jam/isi kandungan:
Blend nenas with some water and then cook with sugar (agak-agak) sehingga kering. Lebih mudah, do what I did. Ever since my Ibu retire from baking kuih raya and I took over, I have been buying the jam! Easier dan sedap!


CARA-CARA: Gaulkan semua Bahan A sehingga membentuk satu dough. Kemudian gunakan acuan untuk membentuk. It is up to you nak guna acuan tekan atau spread. I use spread. Lebih mudah dan cepat tapi lebih menyakitkan ibu jari. Kemudian masukkan jem nenas dan gulung-gulung. Calitkan sedikit kuning telur untuk golden effect. Bakar selama 15 minit pada 175 darjah celcius.

CAUTION: Pembuatan tart agak meletihkan terutamanya sekiranya anda adalah one-man-show seperti saya. Selain itu, selalunya akan ada semut yang cuba mendaki anda dan mengganggu kerana you will smell pineapplish-sweet (apakah?). Selamat mencuba
