Directions

Cake: Mix the cocoa, food coloring, and vanilla together in a small bowl and set aside. Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl, using a mixer set on medium-high speed. Add the yolks and beat for 1 more minute. Add the cocoa mixture and beat to combine. Stir the buttermilk and salt together and add it in thirds, alternating with the flour. Mix the baking soda with the vinegar and blend into the batter. Line your mini cupcake maker and fill each cupcake liner with 1 tablespoon batter, and bake until a toothpick inserted in the cupcake center tests clean — about 4 minutes. Let it cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before frosting with Cooked Chocolate Frosting.
Frosting: Whisk milk, flour, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble — 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
Melt either dark chocolate or white chocolate. Set aside to cool.
Beat butter, confectioners' sugar, and cocoa (for white chocolate frosting, omit cocoa) together until light and fluffy. Beat in the cooled chocolate and add milk mixture and vanilla extract (dark chocolate frosting only) until smooth and fluffy. Use immediately.
 HAPPY COOKING EVERYONE!

Craving for churros..

Hello everyone!

It's been a week since I have something to write here on my blog. Actually, I have a lot of videos that I haven't uploaded yet to put here and tell a story about it.

But today, I want to share something. It's about my desire to eat churros. 

A churro, sometimes referred to as a Spanish doughnut, is a fried-dough pastry - predominantly choux—based snack. Churros are popular in Spain, France, the Philippines, Portugal, Latin America (including Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands) and the United States. There are two types of churros in Spain, one which is thin (and sometimes knotted) and the other which is long and thick (porra). They are both normally eaten for breakfast dipped in hot chocolate or café con leche.  

Since last week I'm craving for this pastry/doughnut called churro, but here in the Philippines we have our own version called bicho-bicho.  It's bigger than churro but it's almost the same in terms of cooking and serving.  Because of my busy schedule, i don't have time to cook it and not everywhere here, specially in our place have that kind of doughnut.  Until one afternoon I decided to cook it for my son's miryenda, finally!  After a long time craving, I must say it's worth it.  My son and hubby loves it!  We enjoy eating churro with our favorite chocolate ice cream, that I made too (my bad I haven't film it, to share it with you.)...  Anyway, this churro is not just for breakfast, it can be for snack, while watching movie or simply enjoy it with friends and family.  I prefer to do the usual churro that is being made in other country than our own bicho-bicho because I like the crisp of the small pieces that I've done since everyone in the family likes something crispy.  And we all love to eat it with chocolate ice cream than the usual chocolate dipping or hot chocolate, we find it challenging because of the  hotness and coldness of those two, LOL

 If you want to try this one, here is the list of Ingredients.

1 cup of bread flour
3/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of condense milk
1 tbsp of oil
dash of salt
1 tbsp of butter/margarine
1 beaten egg

Coconut Macaroons

Good day...

Today, I'm experimenting on different ways to make COCONUT MACAROONS. I have tried the meringue mixture and it comes out a little crispy than usual, It looks good but it's like a cookies to me.  The other one is the usual but I added a flour for extender and it comes out better than the first one.  Let me show you the pictures of the macaroons that I made.

Coconut macaroons

My son loves macaroons, so I want to discover something new to make a difference on the usual macaroons that I always cook.  I haven't done a video of this yet, 'cause I want to make it perfect before I film it.  Maybe, next week when I bake this one again, I will do a video to share it with you...

Gift Idea #1

Hi guys...

I know this is a late blog for valentines, but I will still do it anyway....

I will do a Chocolate & Candy bouquet for Valentines Day!  I decided to blog this because, I was surprise from the feed backs that I have received in this valentines gift that I made.  I might say that this is a very good gift idea for a lot of occasions not just valentines.  It may look  expensive but it's really not. As a matter of fact, some bouquet of flowers is more expensive than this one.  Let me show you some pictures of it.

If you want to see how did I do it you can watch the video down bellow or you can check out and subscribe to my YOUTUBE channel.

Moist Chocolate Mini Cupcake

 

 Here I will show you how I make my moist mini chocolate cupcake.  This is my own version of moist chocolate cupcake.  I discover that using hot water and oil instead of butter makes the chocolate so moist.  

Accidentally, I use oil as substitute for my butter since I don't have butter available to use in my baking.  And it comes out quite well.  I didn't expect the result but I'm glad It happens. :)

Now, if you want to learn my tricks on how to do it, check it out on my channel @ YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/user/ladytiger0322 

 Here are the Ingredients:

1/2 cup Margarine

4 cups Cake flour

1/3 tbsp Baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 cups White sugar

1 cups Oil

3/4 cup Washed/red sugar

4 eggs

3/4 cups Cocoa powder

1/3 cup Milk

1 1/2 cups Hot water

1/3 cup Water (tap water)

Process,

1) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, line a 12 piece cupcake tin with liners and set aside 

    (just in case your gonna use regular oven).

2) In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, white sugar and salt, set aside.

3) In a small bowl, cream together the margarine and red sugar, add the egg (one at a time) and whisk until smooth. Add in all the other wet ingredients except hot water.

4) Add the wet ingredients in our dry ingredients and mix just until they are almost all incorporated. 

5) Combined hot water and baking soda and pour it in our mixed batter, mix everything quickly so you don’t over mix.

6) Using an ice cream scoop, fill your cupcake tin and bake them for about 18 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of a cupcake. Or if you're using mini cupcake maker bake it for 9 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center of a cupcake.

7) Let them cool completely before frosting them.
