Chocolate is perfect during Christmas, but nothing is more decadent than eating chocolate truffles. Delicious little balls of luxurious balls of goodness. “Balls of goodness”… I think I may need to copyright that! Even though I love buying various different truffles throughout the year, there is av日韩人妻黑人综合无码 super satisfying about making your own. And you may be surprised with how simple they are to make. These chocolate truffles are most definitely a naughty treat for yourself or to give as a gift.

Milk or dark chocolate?

When it comes to the type of chocolate to use while making chocolate truffles, the main question is – Milk or dark chocolate? Well, it honestly depends on your personal preference. For me, I really enjoy making my mine with a 50/55% dark chocolate. The percentage really adds a certain rich flavour to the final result. If making them for children, milk chocolate may be preferred to cut down on the bitterness. Of course, 70% chocolate can also be used if you want av日韩人妻黑人综合无码 super strong. But as mentioned above, it really comes down to personal preference!

Equipment I use

To make these tasty chocolate truffles, all you need is a bowl (or a pan if you’re doing the cream heating method), a container to put the chocolate mixture into, as well as a tray to place all of your finished truffles. For the container, I find using an 8 x 8 tray a lot easier because it makes getting the chocolate out quicker. However, using a bowl is also fine if you do not have one. One thing that I would highly recommend though for making them is a pair of gloves. Because chocolate melts at body temperature, rolling the chocolate balls in your hands will be very, very, VERY messy. You can pick them up really easily from any pharmacy or health store.

What better way to celebrate Halloween than with some delicious chocolate and banana cupcakes. These cupcakes are so simple to make and are incredibly moist. I love them. What’s also great is the super simple chocolate spiderweb icing. Who can say no to a nice crunchy chocolatey topping? No one, that’s who! They are super fun to make, and I’m sure if you have children, they will have a blast recreating the spiderwebs on top. You can even create a bit of a production line. Someone to put the first layer of chocolate on top, the next person creating the chocolate lines, and the last person recreating the all-important “spiderweb” look. There is nothing better than indulging in these spiderweb chocolate and banana cupcakes.

Great use of overripe bananas

These chocolate and banana cupcakes are another fantastic way of using up those overripe bananas. I love finding new ways of using up this delicious fruit, be it within my banana bread or my ultimate banana muffins. But these cupcakes feel somewhat naughty. I mean, you’re combining two incredible flavours! Of course, you can put various other fillings inside, including some nuts, chocolate chips, or even raisins if you want. The choices are endless!

Equipment I use

Realistically, the only equipment you need to make these super quick chocolate and banana cupcakes is a bowl and spatula to mix everything. A whisk can also be used, and I would probably recommend one over a spatula initially, so the mixture is light and aerated. Another helpful tool (and.. I say tool lightly) is a toothpick. This will help you greatly when creating the spiderweb on top of the cupcake. As well as this, a piping bag with a small tip is also helpful for “drawing” the rings on top more accurately.

Want to scare and impress your family and friends? Then these spooky red velvet monster cupcakes are just the thing you need to make! Perfectly moist, deliciously red, and terrifying. I adore making red velvet cupcakes whenever I can, and these definitely do not disappoint. At some point soon, I will add my regular recipe for red velvet cupcakes (watch this space), however not much has changed between the two. The major difference comes from the decorating. With my standard cupcakes, I use a delicious cream cheese frosting with extra cupcake crumbs for topping. But with my spooky red velvet monster cupcakes, this frosting turns black with the addition of good quality food gel.

Monster cupcakes need monster eyes!

Another fantastic addition to my spooky red velvet monster cupcakes is the scary sugar-eyes that I add on top of the black frosting. You can get creative with this because you can add as many or as few as you want. Do you want just one big eye on top? Go for it! Want lots of little eyes glaring at your guests from every angle? That is also doable! Personally, for me, I like having small sugar eyes on top of my monster cakes, between 4 – 6. However, if I use smaller eyes, I would add about 8 – 10. Nothing says spooky like lots of little tiny eyes 夜夜撸网站 at you!

Equipment I use for my Red Velvet Cupcakes

The essential piece of equipment I use for making these spooky treats are piping bags! These are a must-have in any kitchen. However, you can also use a sandwich bag and cut the corner out. Will also work, so long as you don’t push too hard! As for the type of piping bag, I actually prefer using the “one use” ones. Who wants to mess around with cleaning piping bags? Not me! Of course, if you have an easy way of cleaning nylon style bags, go for it! You are the creator of your frosting adventure. For the piping tip, I use a medium star-tip, as I find this creates the easiest topping (plus it’s pretty)!

A stand mixer (or medium bowl and hand-mixer/whisk), and a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowls also helps. As always, my trusty ice cream scoop that I use for everything helps a lot!

Whenever I want to eat av日韩人妻黑人综合无码 国产深夜福利视频在线 alongside a tea or coffee, a biscuit is always a winner. But if I have chocolate chip cookies in the house, then by god they are the first choice! Chocolate chip cookies are by far one of my guilty pleasures. From the crumbly ones from the store to the chewy gooey ones that you find in shops such as Millie’s Cookies, cookies are just incredible. As much as I hate to admit it, I don’t make them too often. But when I do, I go ham. I make LOADS. That way, they last me a while before my next cookie baking craving. These guilty pleasure chocolate chip cookies a must-try for anyone who loves to bake!

Chocolate chips or chocolate chunks?

A bit question that comes up when making chocolate chip cookies is whether you should use chocolate chips or chocolate chunks. When it comes to the type of chocolate I use for my cookies, it depends on the mood I’m in. If I want av日韩人妻黑人综合无码 just super quick without too much extra work, I will always go for a semi-国产深夜福利视频在线 chocolate chip. These are the classic chocolate to use for a good ol’ cookie. However, if I have some in the house, chopping up some good-quality dark chocolate into chunks is perfect. Regardless of using chips or chunks, I will always go for a semi-国产深夜福利视频在线 or dark chocolate with at least 40% cacao. But if I make triple chocolate chip, white chocolate chips will be added for a little extra oomph.

Equipment I use

Making chocolate chip cookies couldn’t be easier. All you need to make them is a baking sheet, about 9 x 13 inches in size, but any tray that fits into the oven will work fine. A really handy tip for making matching sized cookies is using an ice cream scoop. Muffins, cupcakes, doesn’t matter what I’m baking, I live by using my ice cream scoop! Though with this recipe, I use 2 tablespoons worth of mixture because I like them on the smaller side. But, ice cream scoop will still work fine! Even though using a stand mixer will naturally make things quicker, using a handheld electric mixer or even a regular whisk will be fine. It is worth it to invest in a stand mixer though! They are super versatile and will help you do things while you let it do all the work for you.

I have always been a chocolate lover. Always have, always will. I am also a huge fan of muffins. There are so many choices to choose from! Blueberry, chocolate, raspberry filled cream cheese gooey delicious….. maybe I’m running away with myself a little. Point is, I love muffins and chocolate. So why not combine the two of these beauties to create the most scrumptious experience? That’s when my double chocolate chip muffins became a reality. If you are a chocolate lover like myself, these tasty treats should not be missed!

Perfecting my double chocolate chip muffins

It took me a few goes to get the exact amounts correct. With the first batch, I added a bit too many chocolate chips (yes, that can happen), creating some hard spots within the muffin that made them not so good. With the second batch, I changed the amount of chocolate chips I used, making them perfect… but I added a little too much liquid. Curses! They tasted good but I wanted a more springy muffin. And thus we arrive at my perfect double chocolate chip muffin. Beautifully moist but not too wet, crumbly with the perfect spread out chocolate chips. They are to die for!

Equipment I use

For the equipment I use, I especially love using my Le Creuset muffin tin when creating these in order to keep their form. Normal muffin tins work too, but the handles of the Le Creuset one is av日韩人妻黑人综合无码 I enjoy immensely. Apart from this, even though I can easily make this in my handy stand mixer, just using a simple bowl and mixing spoon does the trick easily. Just like I do with my banana muffins, I enjoy making these double chocolate chip muffins in pretty kraft paper cups. But if I don’t have them on hand, just some regular good quality muffin liners do the trick just fine.

Do you ever have any leftover bananas at home and don’t want to make another banana bread? I know that this thought crosses my mind so many times, I’ve lost count. Luckily, banana bread is not the only thing you can make with overly ripe bananas. Infact, there are lots of delicious recipes that you can create using this perfect fruit. One of these is these insanely good, super moist banana muffins. When I wanted to make av日韩人妻黑人综合无码 new, this banana muffin recipe was the best idea. Not only are they super simple to make and require very little ingredients, they are so tender and moist that you’d think they are professionally made.

What I also love about this recipe, just like I do with my banana bread, is that you can add various extras for a good kick. Whether that be walnuts, blueberries or even chocolate chips, the choices are endless. For me, simply adding walnuts to the batter makes these perfect. It would be hard to find a better banana muffin recipe than this. I would honestly say that these are the best banana muffins ever!

Secret for the perfectly risen muffin

Another note which really brings these muffins to the next level is the beautiful high top. I was always super curious as to how professional bakers got their muffins to rise really high. After doing some re成人乱码一区二区三区av, I found out the answer – raise the temperature of the initial cooking time up high. During the first few minutes of baking, because of the high temperature, the batter will be lifted up with steam. Thus, resulting in a much higher risen muffin. I also find that doing this just makes the muffin that much more delicious, because you have more muffin with every bite!

Equipment I use

When it comes to the equipment that I use when making these muffins is super simple. I always go with my trusty stand mixer and muffin tin, but just a regular bowl and elbow grease will also work wonders. My stand mixer just makes things that much easier. What I find really nice to use for these banana muffins is proper kraft muffin cups. It really brings a more professional baker look to the final product. Plus it is super fun to peel back the paper and get stuck into the banana muffin.

Banana Bread has to be one of my ultimate guilty pleasures. I adore it! Having a slice together with coffee (or tea) is sheer bliss. If I ever have any leftover bananas from making smoothies, they will turn into a delicious loaf about 99% of the time. If I feel like quickly wiping up a loaf, this is the classic recipe I always use. However, you can also add walnuts and blueberries to spice things up! 

Equipment I use

When it comes to the equipment I use for making this, it boils down to a few key items. By far my favorite piece of equipment in my house and comes in super handy for baking this bread is my loaf tin. I get so much use out of it. From creating bread to savoury things like my meatloaf. What is also great about this recipe is that no mixer is needed! All you need is a mixing bowl and a spoon and you’re good to go! You can even have the kids get involved mashing up the bananas and stirring everything together. It is super handy to have a set of measuring cups too, however, you can just use a weighing machine. Making banana bread is super simple!

While thinking of different recipes that I could play around with at work, I start to reminisce about certain types of food I would have as a child. Be it the simplest thing like a crisp butty to things I still eat here like a good ol’ spaghetti bolognese, the list is endless. However, I started to remember the food I would have during primary school. One of these was the staple of desserts for every school child. The hundreds and thousands School dinner cake! Naturally, having this served with a gloopy custard was a must, and it was the best thing ever. This got me thinking, can I recreate this staple dish from my school memories? How could I not! The basics of the school dinner cake, which I will continue to now call Party cake (since this is not being served in a school!) is fairly simple.

At the core is a tasty, springy vanilla cake that you can optionally add some lemon zest for an extra kick. As for the topping, a delicious and easy icing with hundreds and thousands. This cake is super simple and will be a huge hit at any party. Children especially will love how colourful the Party cake is and is always the first food that is devoured. What’s great about this party cake is you can also change it from a vanilla cake to a chocolate cake by adding a little bit of cocoa powder!

Equipment I use

For me, the equipment I use to make this cake is, first of all, a large springform tin. Lining it with baking paper makes clean up easy. However, you can also grease the tin with butter and it works just as well. However, if you are creating this for a larger group, you can turn it into a traybake which is more traditional to the original school dinner cake. For this, I find the Excellent Tray set ideal. Deep enough to not have cake spilling over and large enough to create a whole lot of tasty cake. Plus you get some extra baking equipment! What makes this cake simple to make is that you only need a bowl and a spoon, no machines required!

From start to finish, this recipe takes about 40 minutes. The baking time is between 25 – 30 minutes, but I find that whenever I make this Party cake, it is perfect at the 28-minute mark. I would recommend keeping an eye on your cake once you reach the 25 minutes of baking time. The last thing you want is a burnt cake!

Another good piece of advice when it comes to this cake is making the icing process simple. I’ve done this many different ways, but I found that leaving the cake in the tin until it’s cooled completely makings icing it easy. It also means the icing won’t run away and will stay on top.
