Cup Cake Time!!!

Recipe: Chocolate cup cake

Ingredients: Cooking Chocolate 200g
Butter 200g
Brown Sugar 1 cup
Eggs 2
Flour 1 cup
Baking powder 1/4 teaspoon
Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon
Cocoa powder for dusting

Instruction: Preheat oven to 150 degree celsius. Put butter and cooking chocolate into a pot and heat in on low on cooking element until both ingredients are completely metled. Add butter/chocolate, brown sugar, vanila extract, and eggs together and stir to combine. Mix those ingredients with flour and baking powder after that pour into cup cake containers. Bake for 45 minutes. Let it cool down then sprinkle over cocoa powder.

I didn't have time to decorate nor sprinkle cocoa powder over those cup cakes but it's pretty easy. I actually was thinking about using ribbons tighting around cup cakes but it's quite a waste unless I'm gonna give these cup cakes as a gift to my friends. Opps, I better get going. Enjoy.

A big cup of hot chocolate with grill mashmellows used to be number 1 of my top 5 favourite drinks and deserts for cold days. However, the declination of hot chocolate and mashmellows has arrived. Now my most favourite drink and desert is Chocolate bread and butter puddings with a warm honey lemon water. Why? The reason is pretty simple because it's filling and more tasty. Also, when you have a mouth full of butter pudding then following by a zip of warm honey lemon water, it's heavenly. It's pretty darn easy to bake as well and no need to mention about warm honey lemon water. You just get a cup of warm water then add in honey and a few drops of lemon juice.

Back to Chocolate bread and butter puddings. I'm the kind of person who don't really like to follow the instruction from recipe books. Why? Maybe because I find that it's against my will..hahaha..nah recipe book for me is like a tour map. You only look at it when you get lost. Okay I'm babbling too much, here is what you need: 4 slices of vienna bread, crusts removed. 25 grams of butter, softened. 50 grams of cooking chocolate, finely chopped or you can break them into small blocks. 1 egg, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup of cream, 1/2 cup of milk, half of teapoon vanilla extract and Cocoa powder for dusting. Serves 2.

Preheat the oven to 180 degree celsius. Butter the bread slices and layer. Firstly, get a cup which is ovenproof then lay down the first bread slice follow by chocolate. Secondly, put another slice of bread over the chocolate. Now, place an egg and sugar in a bowl and beat well, add the cream, milk and vanilla and mix well. Subsequently, slowly pour over the puddings, allowing it to soak into the bread. Lastly, place the cups in a baking dish and pour in enough boiling water to come half way to the side of the cups (not in the cups okay!). Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and set. Let it cool down and dust over cocoa powder.

It might sound complicated but once you have your hands on it. It's pretty easy. I always tell my friends that 'if I can do it, you can do it'. You won't know til you try.
