Chocolate Waffle/Pancake



Recipe adapted from Cupcake Muffin at Chocolate Waffles

I know the title of the post seems confusing.Its because this recipe was supposed to make waffles and it would have, if had a waffle maker.But I don't have a waffle maker.So, I had make them like pancake.I know they look pathetic for pancakes.But they taste heavenly.After all you mustn't judge a book by its cover.Waffles happen to be one of my favourite dishes.

Recipe

Egg yolks        -2
Milk                - 1and1/2 cups

Chocolate Cupcake

 I really love when it christmas is here.All the festivities,the cakes,and everything looks superb.The favourite part is all the baking and icing I get to do.Icing is the coolest part of making cakes.No cake is perfect without the perfect icing.I like cream icing the best because it tastes good.But it seems that the icing is usually sliding down.What icings do you use?





Cake Flour(Maida)- 100gm
Butter                    - 100gm
Eggs                      -  2
Sugar                     - 100gm(powdered)
Cocoa Powder      -  40gm
Baking powder      -  1 tsp 

For icing
Fresh Cream    - 2 cups
Icing Sugar       - 1 cup  or as required
Chocolate Strands

Beat the butter and sugar until the sugar dissolves completely.Separate the eggs and add the yolk to the butter.Slowly beat up the eggs until the mixture is smooth.Sift together the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.Now add the flour to the batter and mix well.In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until the egg white becomes firm.Now add the egg white to the the cake batter and fold.Be careful to only fold and not beat the mixture.Prepare the cups by buttering and putting some flour on them.Pour the batter into the cups and bake in a preheated oven.The temperature and time varies according the oven.Let the cakes cool.

For icing
Beat together the fresh cream and sugar.beat it for a long time until the mixture becomes thick.Now see if it is sweet enough.If not add more sugar until the mixture is sweet.

Girl In A Gown Cake

I know this cake could look a little more better.Especially if the girl was wearing clothes that matched the icing.And the photography could be improved.But it tastes really good.I planned to use a barbie doll.But barbie looks so small on this cake.It would look as if the barbie was wearing a huge gown.

Honey Coconut Cake(Eggless and Sugarless)

 I was under the impression that substituting honey for sugar does not work.I had a theory that tasty foods are not healthy and vice versa.I wouldn't even try out those healthy recipes I would find because I thought it would be a waste of time.The idea that a susbstituent like honey would taste exactly like sugar was unbelievable to me.But one day when I began experimenting with honey just for fun, I had my theory disproved.Ever since that day, I have been using honey on milkshakes and cakes.I recently tried out a lemon honey drink.I was really delicious.

Honey - 200gm
Maida - 150gm
Butter- 150gm
Baking Powder- 1/4 tsp

Cheesy Egg Sandwich




I had said on my previous post that I love cheese.It is too disappointing that we have very few varieties of cheese available where I live.We have Mozzarella , Cheddar, Gouda, and Paneer.Occasionally, if I am blessed by the Food God I might find two more varieties of cheese in the shops, but then the costs would be really high.And I don't think the cheese available here is made the way its meant to be either.I wonder if the

Cheese and Chicken Breadizza




This is kind of an invention on my own invention.Once I really wanted some pizza ,but didn't have the patience to wait until for any pizza place to deliver it after half an hour.I couldn't make the dough in much less time either.So, I decided to use bread instead.Bread is pretty much the same thing as the pizza dough.So I created the Breadizza.Cheese and chicken are two things I love.I love putting extra cheese on the pizza.My initial recipe had raw chicken.But later I realised that cooked chicken is better.So i modified it.I know the finished product dosen't look much stylish but it definitely tastes good.

Bread - 1 slice
Chicken- 10gm(half cooked with pepper)

I love Chocolate and Teddy Bears.This cake is really easy to make and really tasty to eat.Its a really good idea for a kids cake.I used Cream icing.Its more simple to make than other icings.

Spaghetti Bolognese




Today I thought I will begin with one of my recently acquired recipes-spaghetti bolongese.To tell the truth I never had a good recipe for spaghetti.So spaghetti was not something I ate a lot.. So, i was a little reluctant to try this one out as well.But, when I did make the dish it was absolutely fantasic.It was eaten within minutes.I made a few changes into recipe so that it has a little more flavour.

Spaghetti  -100gm
Chicken   - 100gm cut into pieces(you can also use other meats.I tried beef,  it was really good.)
Garlic      - 2 -3 pods
Capsicum - 1 cut into pieces
Celery      - 2 sliced
Onion      - 1 sliced
Parsley    - 2 sliced
