Cakes are yummy, and they’re even better when they’re easy to make. So here’s an easy chocolate fudge cake recipe that anyone can make and everyone will love!

Ingredients

  • 150 ml sunflower oil, plus extra for the tin
  • 175 g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 150 g sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 150 ml semi-skimmed milk

Icing:

  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 225 g icing sugar
  • 40 g cocoa powder
  • 2½ tbsp milk

METHOD

  • Heat the oven up to 180C/160C fan. Put Oil and line the base of two sandwich tins. Filter the flour, cocoa powder, and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Add the sugar and mix well.
  • Add the golden syrup, eggs, sunflower oil, and milk. Beat them well with an electric whisk until smooth.
  • Then Pour the batter/mixture into the two tins and bake for around 25-30 mins until risen and firm to the touch. Remove it from the oven, and leave it to cool for 10 mins before turning it out onto a cooling tray.
  • To make the icing, beat together all ingredients in a bowl until fluffy (about 5 minutes). Spread over one side of each cake using an icing knife or spoon then sandwich with another layer of cake on top before drizzling more icing over all sides (this will keep your cake moist).

Unsweetened cocoa powder

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder is made from the husk of the cocoa bean.
  • It’s used in baking and in chocolate drinks.
  • And it’s a source of antioxidants

All-purpose flour

  • Flour is a binder. It makes the cake moist, and it helps it hold together when you cut it into the cake.
  • Flour is a leavening agent. When you bake this cake, the flour will trap some of the CO2 produced by baking soda and baking powder, causing your cake to rise like a breakfast pastry!
  • Flour is a thickener. The more flour you add to a batter or dough recipe, the thicker it will become (though there’s a limit).

Butter

1/2 stick of butter is almost equal to 1/2 cup. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, feel free to use 1 stick rather than measuring it out with cups. You may also use 1/2 pound of butter instead—just remember that it will be easier to work with if you add it in chunks rather than trying to measure out half a pound at once!

Eggs are healthy

Eggs are a great source of protein and other vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Their high-quality proteins help build muscle mass and maintain healthy skin, hair, and nails. Eggs contain vitamin A, which is essential for good vision and growth; vitamin D helps you absorb calcium to keep your bones strong; vitamin B12 helps red blood cells produce the energy needed for a healthy metabolism; choline supports brain function as well as liver health.

Vanilla extract

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. Vanilla is responsible for adding flavor and moisture, which helps keep your cake moist and fluffy. It also helps with the texture of your cake.

To add the vanilla extract to your batter after it’s been mixed together, stir in about one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired level of spice (you can always add more later!).

Chopped walnuts 

  • Walnuts are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats can help lower cholesterol, prevent heart disease and reduce inflammation.
  • Walnuts are also high in vitamin E, which helps maintain a healthy immune system and improve blood flow.
  • They contain B vitamins, including folate and niacin (vitamin B3). These vitamins help keep your cells healthy and fight against diseases like cancer or Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Walnuts are also good for your brain health because they contain iron that supports cognitive function—that includes memory and concentration—and improves blood flow to the brain.
  • And finally, walnuts have fiber! Fiber makes you feel fuller faster so you eat less overall throughout the day (and therefore lose weight).

This cake is super easy to make. The walnuts are optional—the cake tastes just as delicious without them. You’ll also need a greased 9-inch round cake pan and aluminum foil to line it.

The recipe calls for all-purpose flour, but if you want to use whole wheat pastry flour instead, just reduce the amount of sugar by 1/2 cup (1/2 cup = 4 tablespoons). If you’re not a fan of chocolate, feel free to add some vanilla extract or almond extract instead!

Conclusion

If you’re looking for an easy dessert to make, this is it! It has a rich chocolate flavor and is so simple to put together. The addition of walnuts is optional, but they really add a nice texture. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

creamy mushroom pasta

Comfort food is the best kind of food. Comfort food is what you make for yourself when everything feels unfair and upsetting. It’s dry bread dipped in olive oil and sprinkled with cheese, followed by scented candles and soft music — it’s a bowl of pasta with mushrooms, cream, cheese, and wine.

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 250 g button chestnut mushroom, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, finely grated
  • 100 ml dry white wine

  • ½ small bunch parsley, finely chopped
creamy mushroom pasta

METHOD :

  1. In a pot, bring well-salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as specified in the package directions. Keep aside 1/2 cup of the pasta water and drain the pasta.
  2. Heat the butter in a huge skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the mushroom pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5 minutes until tender.
  4. Add the white wine and cook until the liquid has reduced slightly about 1 minute. As white wine brings out the flavor of the mushroom.
  5. Stir in the cream and parmesan cheese and simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in reserved pasta water, lemon zest, parsley, and cooked pasta; toss to combine.
  7. And here is your tasty creamy mushroom pasta.

Cooking mushrooms is a delicate process

Cooking mushrooms is a delicate process. So, when cooking fresh mushrooms, there are a few things to keep in mind.

  • don’t overcook them
  • don’t add salt too early
  • don’t add pepper too early
  • don’t add too much or too little salt or pepper

Don’t overcook them, or they will get rubbery and not taste good. Add too much salt or pepper, and you’ll kill the flavor of the mushrooms. Mushrooms can be added to a dish at the very last minute, but it’s best not to cook them for too long — especially if you’re using dried ones.

creamy mushroom pasta

Don’t add salt too early or the mushrooms will be too salty.Adding salt too early will make the mushroom lose its flavor and texture and become mushy once cooked. The best time for adding salt is after you’ve removed the mushrooms from their packaging and washed them with water.

Don’t add pepper too early. or you’ll get that “shoestring” effect (where the mushroom becomes stringy).Pepper is added after the mushrooms have been cooked, so it shouldn’t affect their texture or flavor too much when prepared as part of your meal or dish. If you’d like some extra flavor in your dish, try adding fresh herbs before serving!

Here’s what you can do:

Start with a small amount of salt (2-3 grains) and pepper (1/2 teaspoon each), as well as garlic powder (about 1/4 teaspoon). Stir this into the boiling water until it dissolves. Add more if necessary — it’s difficult to say precisely when you’ve added enough until you taste it.

Now take your mushrooms and trim off the stem ends with a sharp knife. If they aren’t very large, you can even cut them in half lengthwise before trimming — this makes them easier to handle when sauteing. And it will make delicious mushroom pasta.

Final Thoughts!

All of your favorite ingredients, are cooked in butter so you can eat it without having to change outfits. It’s a bowl of creamy mushroom pasta, with cheese, and wine. And it doesn’t matter where you are or what time it is. When you are in that comfort zone, when your world starts to go dark around you and all you can do is lie back on the sofa and watch something mindless on TV, that’s comfort food!

Shish kebab: how to marinate meat?

shish kebab recipes

Yes, yes, the gist of it is here. The meat is cut into large pieces and marinated for a long time. However, this does not always lead to success. Do you want to cook the perfect Shish kebab? Then read this post in detail!

First, you need to cut the meat into cubes 

First, you need to cut the meat into cubes – no more than 15 centimeters. The size of the pieces depends on your skewers, but it’s important that they are small enough so that they can be easily picked up and eaten with a toothpick. Make sure your meat is fresh and tender, juicy, and of high quality.

After that, you should prepare the marinade. All seasonings need to be mixed in advance – salt, pepper, red pepper (if desired), onion powder (optional). Add a little bit of soy sauce or balsamic vinegar. And now the main thing: in the meat for shish kebab, do not put any tomato paste or ketchup!

If you want your kebabs to be juicy and tender, then it’s better to buy lamb – they will soak up all the juices better than whole pieces of meat. To prepare kebab skewers on an ordinary grill pan at home, use a sharp knife to cut off excess fat from each piece of meat before marinating it with spices. 

shish kebab recipes

If you have time and desire to experiment with cooking shish kebab yourself, try replacing some tomato sauce with yogurt or sour cream – this will give extra tenderness and juiciness to your dish!

  • Dip the pieces of meat in a bowl and leave to marinate for at least an hour.
  • You can marinate your shish kebab in the fridge, but if you don’t have room, try using a plastic bag instead—it will work just as well!
  • If you want to be really fancy about it and really impress your friends/family/coworkers, use a glass container with an airtight lid (like Tupperware) instead.

Meat must be of high quality and fresh

Many of us have a love affair with shish kebab. But, how do you make sure that your meat is fresh and of high quality? If you are planning to make shish kebab at home, there are a few things to keep in mind while buying meat. Meat must be cut into cubes or strips and marinated before cooking. It can be cooked on a skewer or grill over a fire or gas flame.

In short :

For 2 kg of meat, you are going to need –

  • Onions 1 kilogram. 
  • One big lemon. 
  • Chop the meat. 
  • Peel the onion and turn it through a meat grinder. 
  • Squeeze the juice out of the lemon. 
  • Mix the onion mass with juice. 
  • Now mix this mass with the meat. 
  • Be sure to put oppression on top. Let it cool. And the whole marinade is ready.
Shish kebab

Final thoughts!

It is appropriate to use any meat for Shish kebab. Lamb and pork are also suitable. However, the main condition for delicious shish kebab is that the meat should be of excellent quality and fresh. The selected piece must be frozen or fresh: neither smoked nor salted or dried. It is best to choose tenderloin or rib with a soft pattern of fibers on the cut.

Why Brine Chicken Breast For Air Frying?

While air frying is a deliciously healthy way to prepare your food, certain meats benefit from being brined before being baked in an air fryer. While the air frying process isn’t a marinating process, some flavor can be transferred to the chicken when it’s in a brine (especially since you’re submerging it in saltwater). Brining is an excellent way to ensure that your chicken comes out with a flavorful exterior and an equally tasty interior.

How To Marinate Chicken Breasts?

Start by preparing your brining solution. If you’re using a cold brine, you can simply combine salt and water in a bowl to form your brine. For warm brine, use boiling water and keep it at room temperature until it is no longer scalding. Now that you’ve created your solution add the chicken breasts to the bowl and let them sit for 30 minutes (while occasionally tossing them around). Once the chicken breast has been submerged in the brine, let them sit for around 10 to 15 minutes. Now out, take it, and your chicken breasts are ready for air frying.

Final Words

Air frying is one of the fastest ways to cook chicken breasts. The best part about this recipe is that it has less oil, yet the dish remains juicy and crispy. You can also try different flavors by adding different herbs from pepper, rosemary, and garlic powder.
