Mini strawberry cupcakes!

Hello and assalamualaikum! 

I'm back again today and today's post is gonna be another recipe but I promise you this recipe will turn out good.Not like the previous recipe.Today's recipe is like you read above,mini cupcakes.Actually,I wanted to finish this one strawberry powder I bought a few months ago and it still existed till before I bake! It's very sweet and we don't very like it.I bought it for icing,frosting and all but it didn't really suit our taste so yeah.I've tried on biscuits but nahh just too sweet.I don't like super sweet food,I don't like super sour food,I don't like super salty food but I do like super spicy food hmm yums!

So,let's get started!

Ingredients you're gonna need :

1. 1 cup of butter

2. 1 cup of sugar

3. 4 eggs

5. 2 cups of plain flour

6. 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

7. A teaspoon of vanilla essence

If you don't have the strawberry powder,you can just use the ingredients above because this is basically a butter cake lol.

Method :

1.Preheat the oven to 180C,place your cupcake cases in your trays and if you don't have cupcake cases or trays,just pour the batter in a greased cake tin.

2. Mix the butter and the sugar until the colour becomes pale.

3. Add the eggs one at a time.Add one then mix and continue with the rest.

4. Add the vanilla essence to get rid the eggs' smell.You don't want your cake to smell like egg okay lol.

5. Pour in the sifted flour and the baking powder gradually to make your cake fluffy.Do not just pour everything at a time.If you don't want to use many utensils,you can put a sieve on your bowl and pour one cup of flour with the baking powder then you have to use a folding technique to make sure your cake will be fluffy.Then,add another cup of flour and continue folding the batter until the dry ingredients are well mixed.

6. Put them in the cases and bake them for about 40-45 minutes but since mine are small so I only baked them for about 30-35 minutes.Depends :)

I'll leave you with the pictures I took just now (I was even willing to go out to get a good lighting for you guys okay! :P)

No icing whatsoever

Ft my thumb and the grass

 I took quite a few of pictures but only two that came out good lol ok lah tu daripada takde :P 

So,I hope you enjoy reading this recipe.Katanya,resipi tradisional :) 

Give it a try and tell me what you think!

See you soon,bye :D 

Cookies!

Hello and Assalamualaikum!

Today's blog post will be slightly different because what I'm going to be writing today is ..

A RECIPE! 

I baked Tanya Burr's cookies yersterday but I changed the recipe a little bit on how I like it to be so go check her blog out! It's simply beautiful! :)

Haha I'm not lying,it actually tastes good but I don't know if the texture is correct because from what I watched on youtube,their batter becomes dry after they have mixed all of the dry ingredients but mine is like .. hm how do I say this,tak lembut that it could fall off your hands but it's not dry either so comprehend it yourself hehe.

So,let's get started!

The ingredients that you're gonna need

(the ingredients below is the changed ones so if you want to try the original one,you can click 'Tanya Burr's cookies' above)

200g butter

193g brown sugar

1 large egg

275 plain flour

75g cocoa powder (I didn't add in this though because I currently don't have any)

a little dash of milk

Chocolate bars (any choc you like)

Method :

1. Mix the butter and the sugar till the sugar dissolves

2. Crack in the egg and mix

3. Put in the dry ingredients bit by bit so your cookies won't be hard 

4. Add a dash of milk if your mixture is looking dry but I don't know what's wrong with my mixture!

5. Break up all your chocolates and throw them in the mixture.

6. Pick a handful of the cookie dough and put it onto your tray and continue with the rest of the cookie dough.

So,here let me tell you what I've changed on this recipe (this must be also one of the reasons why my mixture didn't turn out dry) 

I've changed the sugar and the quantity.It's supposed to be caster sugar but since I'm out of it now so I changed it to brown sugar.The original recipe is 300g but I wanted it to be 200g only but my brown sugar wasn't enough so,193g then haha.

I didn't use self-raising flour.

 I only used one type of chocolate only because in the original recipe,she said to use white chocolate and milk chocolate but my sister bought the wrong white chocolate so milk chocolate only then :3

I didn't use cocoa powder either because also the same reason,I don't have it in my house currently (so my cookies are brown)

And another thing is,make sure to put a baking foil on your tray or your cookies will stick and do not put the cookie dough close together as it will spread.Or if you don't have a baking foil,you can use butter and spread it all over your tray.

This really does sound crappy,doesn't it? 

Haha do tell me if you try but just...be happy with how it will turn out like because it probably won't turn out as good as it looks on Tanya's blog 

So,I'll end it here.Bye! :) 

P/S : I've written this a few weeks ago but I just posted it now so 2 posts in a day!
