Sunday is baking day... baking day... lalalalala!

Hello all!

I'm sorry I haven't been very social lately but I've been quite busy with school ad all, I hope you will forgive me.

As you might have guessed from the title, I had an afternoon of doing nothing so I decided to ... bake! If I had the means necessary I would jump on a plane and come feed every one of you (my readers) yes, that would be both of you! JK!

I started out with making a very delicious fondant au chocolat (for those who don't want to bother guessing, it would be chocolate fondant) XD I decided to use good ingredients and shelled out on Green and Black's Organic Trinitario 85% dark chocolate. (YUM!)



The result was great crispy on top and melty, chocolatey on the inside... *drool*

RECIPE:

200 grammes of dark chocolate
170 grammes of butter (room temperature)
100 grammes of sugar
70 grammes of wheat flour
5 eggs
(optional, extra chocolate to sprinkle on top after taking out of the oven)

Melt the chocolate and the butter in separate bowls.
In third bowl, mix eggs, sugar and flour.
Mix the butter and chocolate together and stir a bit.
Add to the egg/flour/sugar mix.

Put them in small muffin forms and put in oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Remember, the fondant should be gooey and chocolatey on the inside.

Eat!



As if that wasn't enough I decided to make apple muffins too. This was a different version of the ones I usually make but they turned out great.



RECIPE:

Turn on oven at 250 degrees Celsius

2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 cup of butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup of cane and white sugar (half-half)
2 eggs
1 cup of plain natural yoghurt (I used greek)
2 apples peeled, cored and coarsely chopped

Mix the dry ingredients together, sieve if you want. (flour, baking powder, cinnamon)

Whisk the butter, sugar and eggs well. Add the yoghurt and mix again.

Add the flour, mix and add the chopped apples.

Pour into muffin forms. Mix one tablespoon of cane sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl and stir with a spoon. Sprinkle on top of every muffin and place in mid-lower section of oven. Immediately turn down the heat to 175 degress Celsius and let bake for 30 minutes.

The middle is full of moist delicious apples!









Eat!


Enjoy!

Ahhh, I was thinking of making a dessert for Thanksgiving and I remembered I wanted to make something from a recipe that a blogger submitted. And I couldn't remember what it was that I wanted to make or who's recipe it was...and it was yours! Oh man, I'm a couple days too late in re-finding this recipe, but maybe I'll make it for Christmas! Or make my bf make it for me next weekend...hehehehe. Miss your posts, girly!!!
