8 mins DIY Microwave Chocolate Cake

8 mins DIY Microwave Chocolate Cake 

This is an amazing recipe which my lovely friend shared with me its just amazing and so easy to make. perfect when you are craving for a delicious chocolate cake !!!



You'll need:

For the cake
• 100 gm melted butter or 100 ml of vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp Cocoa powder
• 150 gm sugar
• 100 gm self raising flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk

For the chocolate ganache
100g chocolate, broken into pieces
5 tbsp double cream

Steps procedure 
1- In a large bowl, add in all your dry ingredients and mix. Create a well in the center.

2- Lightly whisk your eggs with a fork in a separate bowl. Incorporate in your dry ingredients.

3- Add in melted butter/oil and milk. Mix everything until you obtain an even mixture without lumps. You can add in chocolate chips/ raisins/ almonds/ pistachios/ any nuts/ orange zest at this point or you can just leave the batter plain.

4- Pour in a greased pan. Gently tap to pop any air bubbles then bake in the microwave for 8 minutes. you know your cake is ready when a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean

Allow your cake to stand for 5 mins, then turn it out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

For the ganache, simply melt the chocolate for approximately 2 mins, stirring every 30 secs until melted. Add the cream and mix thoroughly until smooth and glossy.

Garnish with anything you like. You can serve now or you if you're preparing it ahead of time, I recommend chilling it for about an hour or 2 for extra yumminess  .

And that's it ladies. Simple, easy and sooo yummyy and on the go. Happy easy DIY baking!

The Perfect Fluffy Vanilla Homemade Cake with choc chips, dried grapes and almonds



Hi everyone, i want to share with you my best recipe which i learnt from my mother who is an amazing baker and cake decorator. from this recipe you can add any ingredients you like such as dried fruits, only almonds, lemon zest/juice and more (comment if you want me to help you on making any type of cake flavors). So the recipe has its own secret :D which you have to stick with it and make sure to make no changes if you want a successful perfect fluffy light cake..

Follow the step by step easy recipe below and DIY !!! :D
 
Minnie Mouse loves it am sure you will :D ;P
 
what you will need: 

The secret is that all the main ingredient has to weight the same. the batter which i made was for 2 cakes, you can half the ingredients if you would like to make only 1

Main ingredients: 500g of eggs
                              500g of flour 
                                        500g of white sugar
                              500g of butter
 2 Table spoon of vanilla essence and any kind of yogurt ( so  the cake does not come out dry)




Preheat oven to 180*c before starting to make the batter and butter your pan. i place paper at the bottom of the pan and butter it so when i turn the cake over (when its all done and cooled) it comes out perfect and sleek.


Procedure : put in all ingredients all at once
. Butter + Flour + sugar + eggs + vanilla essence + yogurt. 

 Now Careful !!! Mix at slow paste first so that the flour does not rise in your face : D . you can speed up the machine once the batter seams incorporated (add choc chips) and let mix for only 2mins,
 Do Not over mix as you want your batter to have air so that it comes out fluffy.  





Pour the batter into your pan and add almond flakes and dried grapes for amazing flavors. Place your pans in your oven at 180*c and let cook for exactly 1hr. Make sure that you never open the oven before the 1hr. you can check how the cake is doing through the little window but do not open as it will deflate and the cake will not rise again once it has gone down .











After the 1hr your cake should look like mine : )






See how fluffy and moist it looks, its just the perfect homemade cake ever !!!




 


If you want a moist cake abit like a genoise texture, pour half a cup of water in a glass + 2 Table spoon of sugar mix well and with a brush spread the juice evenly on the cake but make sure not to over soak it.

You can also spread a chocolate ganache on your cake: melt 250g of chocolate + 2 Table spoon of milk or whipped cream in the microwave for 3 mins but mixing it after each 30sec intervals. Spread it on the cake with the help of a spatula and VOILLLAAA GUYS!! 

I really hope you like the recipe am sure you will, please do leave feedback if ever you make the cake and let me know how it went. looking forward to hear from you .. :) 

See you soon for more DIYs  !!!

My Channel DIY Frame



Very welcome everyone! For my first post i wanted to share with you guys my favorite frame among a couple which i have in my room. It took me approximately an hour to do this Channel frame. It brings great classy feel to the room, giving it a modern look. I simply love it, each time my eyes falls onto the frame it makes me smile and makes me feel proud of my little time taken to make this long lasting happiness.



What you will need:

* A frame (could be an old one)
* Paper (preferably a bit thick)
* Stencil or template (you can either print one from Google or trace one)
* Paint / Paintbrush / Palette
* Sticky diamonds for decorations
* Scissors









How i did it : ( without a printer )

-Basically trace the logo from your PC or Laptop screen
-Next paint the background of the logo and let it dry fully
(use a printer if you like to print your logo, its a quicker process)
-Then add diamonds for a glamorous look on your frame
-Finally place the paper in the frame and there you have it !            


More ideas : you could use other pictures and make your own DIY frames for any occasions such as parties, room decor or even as a wedding decor !
