PERFECT CHOCOLATE MUFFIN

Hi again all.. I'm here again to post my new cake.  I left baking for about two months since my cholesterol rise and I was worried so much.  An uncontrollable worry that I hate to see my oven for some time.  For the sake of my little girl who begged me for a chocolate cake then I made this, a chocolate muffin. I choose muffin because it's the simplest cake to make.  I was so lucky to find this blog for it has a perfect chocolate muffin recipe. I copied the recipe here:

they had a deep chocolate flavor

Yields: 12 muffins

INGREDIENTS:

2/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa, I used Van Houten 
1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar, I used white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon espresso powder, optional
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
2 eggs
1 cup (8 ounces) milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 teaspoons vinegar, i left off this
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
coarse pearl sugar, for topping (optional) (I omitted this)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 400°F.  Line a standard muffin pan with paper or silicone muffin cups, and grease the cups.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, espresso powder, salt, and chocolate chips. (I put the chocolate chips in last after the rest of the batter was finished). Set aside.

In a large measuring cup or medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and vinegar. Add the wet ingredients, along with the melted butter, to the dry ingredients, stirring to blend; there’s no need to beat these muffins, just make sure everything is well-combined. (I still had some little bumps in mine. I then stirred in the chocolate chips).

Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin; the cups will be heaped with batter, and the muffin will bake into a “mushroom” shape. Sprinkle with pearl sugar, if desired. (I left out the pearl sugar)

Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven, and after 5 minutes remove them from the pan, allowing them to cool for about 15 minutes on a rack before peeling off the muffin papers or silicone cups.

I've made them twice, and they turned out perfect. Good luck all!

STEAMED RAINBOW CAKE

It's again a rainbow cake edition.  Only it's the simpler one to make.
Let get started!

Here's the recipe:
4 eggs
150 grams granulated sugar
140 grams all purpose flour
140 grams vegetable oil
food colorings (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple)

Directions:
1. Mix the eggs and the sugar until smooth and fluppy.
2. Add flour, mix the batter
3. Add vegetable oil, stir well.
4. Divide the batter into 6 equal portions, each in a separate bowl.
5. Add four drops of food coloring into each bowl of mixture. Mix them well.
6. Steam the batter, layer by layer. I poured purple batter in the first layer, wait for about three minutes then pour the next color.  Do the same for the rest.
7. After all done, remove the cake from the pan. You may cover it with icing, I didn't!

That's all. So this is it my very simple rainbow cake.

SWEET PURPLE POTATO CAKE/ CAKE UBI UNGU

I baked this cake since I had a basket of sweet purple potatoes stock.  Sweet purple potato barely has no flavor and you got to use it as 'extra ingredient' in your cake recipes. So far I've used some of my stock for donuts and kolak biki salak.

The addition of sweet purple potato makes the cake super moist and more beautiful color.

Ingredients:

200 grams mashed sweet purple potato

4 eggs

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 cup all purpose flour

120 ml vegetable oil

rice chocolate for topping as needed (it's okay if you substitute rice chocolate with butter cream or any other toppings)

Directions:

1. preheat oven

2. grease a loaf pan and dust with flour

3. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs and sugar until light and fluppy

2. Add mashed sweet purple potato, stir well.

3. Gradually add sifted flour, stir well.

4. Add vegetable oil, stir until the mixture is well blended.

5. Pour the batter into the pan, then bake for about 20 minutes or more (check by inserting a cake tester into the center of the cake, if it comes clean then it's done).

6. Remove the cake from the pan, allow it to cool.

7. Give it a topping with anything you wish.

Good luck and enjoy!

DEVIL'S FOOD CUPCAKES

Cupcakes always look wonderful no matter what on the top; chocolate,stawberries,sprinkles,fondant,or even only a buttercream itself.  The other best part of cupcakes is that you can make them from any kinds of cake recipes. Like i did on my very first cupcakes trial (as well as the second and the third). Since i am a chocoholic then i decided to use devil’s food cake recipe. It’s soooooo chocolate!!! I love chocolate cake that tasted bitter. So to me this devil’s food recipe is the perfect choice. I frosted the top with chocolate buttercream then a chocoball to make it perfect.

pretty good for a beginner, right?

These cupcakes i made for my nieces out of town. As soon as i arrived there, they immediately grabbed all the cupcakes. Happy me!! They said the cupcakes were great and beautiful. Thanks, kids :)
I got the recipe from this link http://ricke-ordinarykitchen.blogspot.com/2010/10/devils-food-cake.html

potongan kurma kecil-kecil secukupnya, bedaki dengan tepung terigu.

Cara Membuat:
1. Mentega dan gula dikocok sampe lembut. 
2. Masukkan telur satu persatu sambil terus dikocok sampai rata. 
3. Masukkan terigu dan kurma, aduk pake spatula.
4. Tuang ke dalam loyang tulban yang sudah dioles mentega dan ditaburi tepung.
5. Panggang samapi matang. Tusuk lidi saja ya, kalo udah gak nempel berarti dah mateng :)

Potong-potong, makan hangat-hangat masih ngebul dan empuuukk. Jangan lupa teh panas juga ya :)
Jadi 18 potong.
