I WAS 12 OKAY

EAT MY SHORTS

Citrus Cake

I made an eggless sponge cake with added orange and lemon rind!

1 cup curd

1 cup sugar (reduce if you want a slightly less sweet cake)

1 and 1/4th tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp vanilla essence (so happy that I am going to give up using essence soon. Making my own extract from pure vanilla bean :-D)

1/4th cup vegetable oil

1 and 1/4th cup plain flour

Method 

Grease and line your baking tin with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

In a bowl, mix the curd and granulated sugar till sugar dissolves completely. Add the baking powder and baking soda and leave the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes for the bubbles to form.

Once the mixture has frothed well, add the oil, vanilla, orange and lemon rind and the flour and mix well.

Pour into the tin and place into the oven.

Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center emerges clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for ten minutes. Now remove and cool it on a wire rack.

Serve it in any way you wish.

Shrew berry biscuits

Yesterday I made these delicious biscuits and it's basically shortbread and rasberry jam!

125g butter, softened 
1/2 cup caster sugar 
1 tsp vanilla essence 
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour 
Pinch of salt 
1 tsp baking powder 
1/2 cup raspberry jam

1 Tbsp water

1. Heat oven to 180* c. Line one baking tray with nonstick baking paper. Place butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat until thick and pale, then beat in egg.

2. Sift flour, salt, water and baking powder into the butter mixture and stir to combine. Turn mixture out onto a board and knead lightly to bring together as a firm dough. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 10 minutes.

3. on a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 3mm thick. Cut out any shape with a biscuit cutter and place on prepared baking tray. Cut out and remove smaller circles from the centre of half the biscuit circles.

4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool. Sandwich biscuits together with raspberry jam and leave to set.

Here's how mine turned out. I also had a helper with me and she helped me soo much!

P.S I cut them in half so we had more bikkies.

My tasters enjoyed them too!

No Yeast biscuit texture bread! 😊

It's 8:00 and I need to bake something then idealise I have a loaf tin!

I ran out of yeast sadly 

Ingredients:

1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil

3 cups all purpose flour (I used whole wheat flour)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt, preferably sea salt1 cup of warm water

Method

1. Heat the oven to 375 and grease an oven proof dish or skillet – 8-9″ is probably best.
2. Put the flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Turn on the machine and slowly add the olive oil and most of the water.
3. Process for 30 seconds. The dough should roll into a ball and barely sticky.  If it hasn’t come together yet, add remaining water a tablespoon at a time, processing for 5 seconds each time.  If you want to add herbs, cheese, whatever, to the dough, do it now.
4. Put the dough into the pan and flatten it until the dough fits to the edges.  Flip and press again. Cover tightly with foil and bake.
5. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the top with coarse seat salt and herbs (if you like). Bake for another 20 minutes. The top will be golden and it will spring back when touched.
6. I used load pans and added olive oil plus some olive oil to dip and they were pretty good

Toddler meringues!

Here is a recipe I stole from Chelsea sugar. I didn't use blue food colouring or whipped cream

Ingredients

6 egg whites
2 cups Chelsea Caster Sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp white vinegar 
1 tsp cornflour
Pink food colouring
Blue food colouring
Whipped cream to serve or Dairy Free Berry Sauce 

Method

In a large bowl (not plastic) beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually, add the Caster sugar very slowly. The mixture should be getting thick with each addition. The whole sugar adding process should take at least 10 minutes. Beat in the essence, vinegar and cornflour. 
Put half of the mixture into a separate bowl and, using a few drops of food colouring, colour one bowl pink and the other blue. Spoon mixture out into little 'blobs' onto abaking paper covered tray. Bake in a low 110°C - 120°C oven for 45 minutes. 
The meringues should lift off the paper easily. 
Cool on a wire rack and jam together with whipped cream, when cold.

Enjoy
