T.G.I.C.F.! Thank God it’s Cookie Friday! :)
The other day there was a little discussion with some food bloggers about ingredients for cooking and baking. Is it ok to use pre-made stuff for cooking or baking? Cake mixes, custard powder… basically everything that comes out of a bag and you just add one or two things and then it’s done…? ;P Well – of course it is ok, but I would not use that stuff, neither do the bloggers I talked to. A cake mix is NEVER really needed – you can do that quick and easy yourself – same thing for many other ingredients you can use for cooking and baking. If you look under the category “homemade” here, you can find some recipes and easy replacements.
Earlier this week I recommended making some Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes for your loved one(s) on Valentine’s day.
It is clearly a good choice – there is absolutely nothing wrong about that. But let’s be honest – if you REALLY love your (maybe soon to be) partner/lover, you should make this cake. As you all know – Nutella is pure love in a glass jar. So this cake is pure love, because it is made with one full glass jar of Nutella! ;)
Do you like banana bread or banana cupcakes? Yes? Did you ever try them with Nutella? No? Well you should! It is a great combination. READ MORE
Hipp Hipp Hooraay! Bake to the roots is one year old!
Let’s celebrate a bit, shall we? :)
If you like nuts – especially hazelnuts – you will like those cupcakes. They are bursting with nuts. Totally nuts, eh?! :P
Not kidding. The filling is a sweet hazelnut paste, there are chopped hazelnuts in the chocolate cupcake batter and on top a buttercream with NUTELLA (which is a chocolate spread with… exactly – hazelnuts) finished with hazelnuts. Nuts, Nuts, Nuts!
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
