Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Wednesday, 29 April 2015

Hey Guys!!

Another baking post for you, it wasn't until I was sat writing my posts that I realised I have done a lot of baking this month!! So I do apologise for the cake filled posts lately. I will also say I have not been 'sponsored' to do these posts it just so happened I had a few Betty Crocker mixes in my cupboard to make!!

This time though instead of making cupcakes I decided to make brownies as I haven't had brownies in what seems like forever.

All you need is:
Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix
40ml Vegetable Oil (2tbsp)
75ml Water (5tbsp)
1 medium Free Range Egg





So like I usually do I put all the ingredients into my mixing bowl and mixed it together for roughly 2-3 minutes.


Until it looked like this.


What I didn't picture is that I used an oil spray to grease the tray and then tipped the mixture in. I used a wooden spoon to spread it out evenly, then I baked it in the oven at 160 degrees for 25 minutes.


The mistake I made was I forgot to let it cool before taking it out the tray so it kind of came out in pieces rather than even pieces.

It was so delicious though, especially with a cup of tea. I will definitely make these again and maybe try them with pink custard!!

You can get the recipe here or again from your local supermarket!!

Also you can see me make these in this Vlog!!

See You Soon!!

Chick Devil's Food Cupcakes

Friday, 24 April 2015

Hey Guys!!

Again I had the baking bug and decided to make some cupcakes. These cupcakes I hadn't made before either and also it was the first time I have properly decorated cupcakes as you'll see.

All you need is:
Devil's Food Cupcakes Mix
30ml Vegetable Oil (2 tbsp)
60ml Water (4 tbsp)
2 medium Free Range Eggs





I put all the ingredients into my mixer and mixed it altogether for about 2-3 minutes on number 2.


Until it was a lovely and smooth mixture.



I then spooned them into the their cases and baked them in the centre of the oven at 160 degrees for 16 minutes.


To decorate them I used ready to roll yellow icing, caramel and chocolate writing pens and the icing provided.




Once they had cooled overnight I then mixed together the powder, 60g of soft butter and 10ml (2 tsp) of water. I must say the icing smelt gorgeous!!


I iced all the cakes with the chocolate icing, then rolled out the yellow icing, cut out 9 circles and 18 tear drop shapes. Then as you can see used the chocolate writing pen for the eyes and the caramel on for its beak and feet.

I did actually make these for Easter and they were delicious. I thought they came out really well as I've never really decorated cupcakes like this before.

You can get the recipe here or from any local supermarket as it is on the box of mix.

You can also see me making and icing them in this Vlog and this Vlog!!

See You Soon!!

Lemon Cupcakes

Wednesday, 22 April 2015

Hey Guys!!

Lately I have been loving baking so much and have been baking something new every week. I have been cheating though as I have been using a mix, rather than baking from scratch. Between work, blogging and Youtube I haven't had time to bake from scratch, but it's calming down so will have plenty of time.

This time I decided to make some Lemon Cupcakes as I had not used this mix before and I've not tried Lemon Cupcakes either.

All you need is:
Sunny Lemon Cupcakes Mix
30ml of Vegetable Oil (2 tbsp)
60ml of Water (4 tbsp)
2 medium Free Range Eggs


I put all the ingredients into my mixer and mixed it on number 2 for 2-3 minutes.


Until it looked like this.


I then spooned the mixture into 9 cupcake cases and baked them for 16 minutes at 160 degrees as I have a fan assisted oven. As you can see from above there they are before and after.


Once they had cooled down I then mixed together the Icing mixture with 60g of soft butter, I use Stork butter, and 10ml (2 tsp) of water to make the icing.


I then iced all the cakes with a butter knife and sprinkled them with rainbow sprinkles to add some colour rather than the sprinkles provided.


I must say these cakes were delicious and you could definitely taste the Lemon in them. It wasn't to Lemon-y which was nice as I think it would be to 'sour' otherwise, they were also very soft and chewy which I like in a cupcake.

You can find this recipe here or you can go into any local supermarket to have a try yourself.

You can also see me making these in this Vlog and icing them in this Vlog!!

See You Soon!!
