A gift cake anybody? :)

Super chocolatey cake. Truly death by chocolate.

So I am finally back as i promised with more recipes. Here is SUPER CHOCOLATY CAKE Ingredients: Cake: 1 cup cacao powder 3/4 cup dark coffee 1 cup milk 2 3/4 cups flour 1/2 tsp salt 350 gr butter (at room temperature) 2.5 cups sugar 1 package of vanilla(optional) 4 eggs (room temperature) 1 tsp baking soda 1 package baking powder Frosting: 1 cup sugar(you can add less sugar) 1 cup cacao 1.5 cup milk 6 tbsp butter Preparation: Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Boil milk, add coffee and cacao. mix well and let it cool. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and put it aside. Beat butter on high speed until its fluffy. Slowly add sugar and vanilla. Now, start adding eggs one by one. Mix well after adding each egg. Carefully and slowly pour in cooled coffee-cacao mix and beat until its all mixed properly. Pour into greased pan and bake for an hour. Check if its done with a toothpick. Put baked cake aside and let it cool. For Frosting: in a saucepan mix milk, cacao and sugar. once sugar melts, make sure there are no lumps in the icing and add butter and let it cool. It becomes much thicker when it cools down. Cut the cake into three layers. Spread some jam(optional, cake is sweet anyways) on the first layer and some frosting on top. Repeat the same with the second layer. Pour the rest of the frosting on top, and cover the sides as well. Decorate as you wish and serve! Enjoy!

Cupcakes

Made my second batch of cupcakes tonight. Going to learn how to decorate them on my 3rd Wilton class tomorrow :)

Banana cupcakes

So I havent posted in a while.. Sorry for the delay, but finishing university is not a peace of cake apparently ;)
So I finally tried a cupcake recipe! Found one online. Must warn you I have never tried cupcakes before, but my cupcake lover friend liked these, so I assumed that mission is accomplished. So here it comes.

Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract(optional)
1/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp vinegar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation: Preheat oven to 170C or 350F. Mash banans well. If bananas are not soft enough, leave them in freezer overnight. when u defrost them in the morning they will be very soft. Mix milk and vinegar. If you have buttercream, then use 1/4 cups of buttermilk instead of this mixture. Cream shortening and sugar. Add an egg, mix well, then add vanilla, bananas, and milk mixture. In the separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Gradually add it to the banana mixture. Prepare 16-18 cupcake papers. I used ice cream scoop to measure the dough. Place on scoop without the top of the dough in cupcake paper. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool and decorate with buttercream. I also decorated with a peace of chocolate on top. 
I used Swiss Meringue Buttercream. The first buttercream I actually liked. Recipe is coming.

Enjoy!
