Chocolate Lava Cake !

So.. Today i decided to try for the 3rd time to make a perfect chocolate lava cake. And yes, this time i really did succeeded Yippee!!

         Ingredients

• 6oz (150g) of semi-sweet baking chocolate
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 eggs
• 2 egg yolks (Other websites put 3 egg yolks but i like mine only 2, it depends you can use 2 or 3 )
• 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cup (160g) of powdered sugar (icing sugar)
• 1/2 (115g) cup flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder

First preheat the oven to 180 C. Next melt the butter and chocolate together . You can either melt it over hot water like i do or the easier way is to melt it using a microwave. If you are melting the butter & chocolate using the microwave just set it to about 1 minute or until the butter melts (butter melts quicker than chocolate does) and then take it out and slowly stir it until the chocolate melts completely with the butter.

After the chocolate & butter has melted just sit it aside. Take out an electronic mixer (if you dont have one of this you can whisk it with your hands but it will take a whole lot more of time and energy) add in the flour, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla & baking powder and whisk them until smooth.

 When the mixture is well blended, pour in the chocolate butter mixture and whisk it well until smooth.

Next we got to prepare some ramekins / porcelain cups / cupcake holder .Buttered them well and divide the batter into them. (PS: I bought these ramekins at Daiso for only RM5 each. Ramekins are really useful as their size are just perfect for making souffles and other stuffs...)

 Bake for 15 minutes or until the cakes are set on the outside but still soft in the center. Let stand for 1 minute. Run a small knife / spoon around the cake to loosen it and then carefully invert cakes onto plates. Sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar (icing sugar) . You can even top the cakes with berries or ice cream or whipped cream or anything you like...

 It takes about half an hour to complete this dish, 15 mins on preparing and 15 mins on baking. It's a really easy dish . Just make sure to whisk it well or else it well end up like my first 2 tries where i use my hands to whisk but didnt whisk it quite enough and it became too hard to eat .

Applelicious Puffs

 Today I actually wanted to make a chocolate molten lava cake but it turn out to be a disaster T^T. I really wanted to make some dessert so i use the Kawan Puff Pastry to make some light sweet snacks to satisfy my urge for dessert.

My sisters also made some too. they used sugar and cinnamon to cover the puff pastry square and then twist the squares into cinnamon sticks. It's really simple and easy even for them. And it taste AWESOME!

 For me, I made a filling for my puffs/danish. I cut some green apples, cooked it with cinnamon and brown sugar and some vanilla essence.

 Me and my mom stuff them into the pastry puff and into a lot of shapes. We also glaze the surface of our puffs with eggs before putting them into the oven and bake them for 15-20 mins.

 This is a very simple dessert for anyone who wants to eat puffs you can fill your puffs with a lot of different fillings. All you need is frozen pastry puff premade and you can easily make yummy desserts ^O^

Chocolate Cookie

This is the recipe for the chocolate cookie i made last week. It's almost like famous amos taste. It's crispy crunchy and all.. Here's the ingredients needed  for around 2-4 dozen of cookies.

• 110g white sugar
• 100g light brown sugar 
• 110g butter
• 120ml vegetable oil (normal cooking oil are mostly veg oil)
• 1/2 egg
• 8ml of milk (arnd 2 teaspoons)
• 250g all-purpose flour
• 3g salt (1/2 teaspoon salt)
•  1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 3 ml vanilla extract  
• 170 g semisweet chocolate chips ( i use silver bird cause it doesn;t melt too much and it's not that sweet)
• 30 g chopped walnuts (optional ! For people who do not like nuts can just dont care about it!)

First prepare a mixer or a whisk (if you have the strength and time to waste). Put everything in except dry ingredients and mix it until it becomes fluffy.

After the mixture turns fluffy add dry ingredients( nuts and chocolate chips) in and then stir it well so that every part has chocolate chip in it.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Then cover the baking tray with baking paper (so that the cookies would come off easily after baking). Use a spoon to scoop out the size of cookie you want and place it on the tray. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8-12 minutes. Cookies may be a little soft when taken out , but it's alright leave it to cool and it will become harder. If it's really too soft add more flour into your mixture . :)

 Kids can also shape the cookies into variety of shapes but be careful when you take it out or else it will end up like my man-shaped cookie...broken ! :(

For any questions just comment below. All the best if you are going to have a try on making cookies:)

Leftovers MAKEOVER XD

Like i said on my last post i would post the food i made using leftovers from my lasagne and here's it. with the left over pasta dough and meat sauce, i made stuffed pasta.First i flattened the dough and using a dough cutter i cut it into squares.

For the stuffing:

• 4 mashed potato
• minced meat 
• pinch of paprika
• pinch of curry powder
• 1 tspn of salt 
• oregano
• mozarella cheese (a little is enough)

 Put the stuffing in the middle of the square cut dough and knead it into any shape you want . But be careful not to overload the pasta with stuffings or else you won't get to eat stuffed pasta but only plain old pasta.

I let my sisters help me with filling the pasta and this is what i got weird shaped & size pasta. After you finish with stuffing the pasta . Boil some water add some salt in it, cook the pasta take it out put it on an empty plate and then pour the left over meatsauce over it and here you go another dish is made.
 

 I did also have some time left so i kept some stuffings i made for the stuffed pasta and boiled some hard-boiled eggs. Once the egg is done cut it into half and take out the yolk.

 Mixed the egg yolk well with the stuffing , add some mayonnaise and bacon bits(optional) and stuff it where the egg yolk was suppose to be and another yummy bite size snack / appetizer is done. This snack was some sort similar to the one Julien Kang made in WGM if you watch the show :)

This is the three dishes i made for me and my family yesterday. Hope you guys enjoy the post and please do comment for anything. PS: it may not 'look' but trust me it does 'taste' ^^
