Wake Up and Smell the Cake

This is version 3! And the yummiest, so far. I used ghee to roast the semolina before adding milk, and I used real milk instead of evaporated milk. Ghee I didn't measure, but probably 5 tbsp? (or 70g butter) 1 cup semolina 1 cup sugar 4 cups milk (I used low fat) 7 cardamoms 2 tbsp rose water Raisins and almonds Melt ghee in big pot until hot. Add in the semolina and fry/roast until a nutty smell. Add in the cardamoms too. Need to keep stirring, make sure it's not burnt. Will take a few minutes. Once done, add sugar, milk and rose water and stir constantly. Make sure to flatten all lumps and stir until the semolina absorbs all the liquid. When this happens, the ghee won't be seen anymore, and it becomes thick. Done!

Dubbed the best chocolate cake recipe , it's similar to what I've tried before where I add hot water and use oil for the cake. It's a great cake base where frosting is needed, and frosting involves loads of butter so this feels healthier . HAHA. I had a craving for a slice of homemade chocolate fudge cake after watching It's Complicated on Netflix. The cake looks sooo good. I'm still not satisfied with this type of frosting though, feels like eating sugar. It frosts the cake well, but just that I feel like eating sugar. I really really should try my hand at swiss meringue buttercream or flour buttercream. Ingredients for the cake 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups sugar 3/4 cup dutch processed cocoa powder 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 1 cup milk buttermilk 1/2 cup vegetable canola oil 2 large eggs 1 cup boiling water Sift flour, cocoa powder baking soda and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the sugar and salt and mix

Went to my sister's house on May Day to clear her peanut butter chips. She preferred brownies to blondies, so here it is! And once again I used yet another recipe, but I'm happy with this fudgy version with a crinkle top! Got the recipe from Sally's Baking Addiction which shares amazing recipes. Ingredients 10 Tablespoons (145g) unsalted butter 1 and 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar 3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons (74g) Dutch processed cocoa powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 2 large eggs 1/2 cup (62g) all-purpose flour 1 cup (180g) peanut butter chips Melt the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla in a pot and mix well. Sift in the cocoa powder, mix. Add in the eggs, mix. Sift in the flour, mix and we're done! Of course add in the chips at the end. I added chocolate chips too for good measure haha. Bake for 30 min in an 8 inch square pan. The brownies are so fudgy, decadent and oh so good! I have Reese's peanut butter cups to use up and this
