minibake: chocholate muffin

I hardly had time to bake nowadays. Although the great mixer and oven had been bought and placed nicely in the kitchen, i only able to use them once a week. Last week, I made chocolate muffin despite the kids requested for chocolate cookies. I still don't have the confidence to make cookies.

I can't find a nice cup, so I made them on my own. Folding is a disaster! So I bought myself muffin tray this week. Although I still think, self made cups is nicer.

Because I can use any paper that attracted me.

Love the brown linen paper. Love the vintage color. The muffin turn out great! But the color is too dark though.

Happy weekend peeps :)

minibake: pizza

I never know making pizza is so easy.

First, you need to prepare the dough.

And let it fermented for 2 hour or until the size doubled up. And then do some kneading (i used my hand because i'm yet to get myself a mixer)

And dump everything you like inside.. as for mine, everytime it will be chicken chunks (which i had marinated with black pepper and grill half cooked), sausages cuts, pineapples, onions, capsicum, cheese cheese and cheese!~ And refrigerate it for my dinner for the weekdays. Tada~ after tiring day from work, i just need to put this in the oven and there goes my dinner :)

minibake: carrot cake

I marked my weekly schedule to discipline myself to bake at least twice a week after I'm done with my classes; or else the efforts of paying so much to attend a class will just gone wasted.This is my 3rd bake on my own without guidance; but the first one that I shoot for remembrance.

Carrot Cake

Gosh.. I actually find that shredding carrot is so tiring. Perhaps I should get myself a food processor. :-\

After I'm done shredding the carrots, I need to cut the prunes into small sizes, resize the walnut to a smaller size and also blend the cinnamon into powder form. I took almost 1 hour doing the cutting, shredding, blending part.. @@

And there after carefully follow the step by step I'd learn and into the oven it goes.

Final product.. tada!~ satisfy. The prunes, raisins, shredded carrots, walnuts did not sink to the bottom like my previous try :)

But.. but.. the cake does not rise. I'm not sure does it suppose to rise or not. And it's kind of too moist.

Some said it's too sweet, some say tasty .. anyway.. I'm thinking to re-adjust the formulation again :)
