Sweetness vol2. Sõbrapäeva red velvet muffin, brownies & keedutainas

Sõbrapäevaks tegin seekord red velvet muffinid ja Sassid (eelmisest postitusest). Red velvet muffinite retsepti võtsin siit

Esimene kord kasutada toiduvärvi. Selle saamine oli ka omaette teema, siin poodides ei müüda. Proovipartiid tehes mõtlesin, et õnnestub looduslikult toonida. Peedimahl andis ainult õrnalt roosaka kooriku ja kõik. Aleksandritel vahel jõhvikamoos, peal punasesõstra-suhrkuvaap.

Järgmine nädalavahetus tulid brownied. Olen juba kaua mõelnud, et võiks proovida. Retsept. Šokolaad pidi olema tume aga ma kasutasin pähklitega piimašokolaadi.









Sellel nädalavahetusel siis keedutaina esimene katsetus. Sellega jäin väga rahule :) Kuju on selline nagu on, suurem tordiprits läks katki. Aga siiski väga õnnelik.












For Valentine`s finally made red velvet cupcakes. And Aleksander shortbread cakes (from the previous post).
It was my first time using food colours. Getting the red colour was a bit tricky, since it is not sold in our local shops. Had to order it. Making the sample batch I wondered if I would manage to use natural colours. Though beet juice only gave the cupcakes slightly pink crust.

The next weekend I finally tried making brownies. Followed this receipt. Though I used milk chocolate with nuts instead of the dark one and nuts.

And this weekend came a time for puff pastry. Really happy with the result :) The shape is somewhat funny but I really do not care.

Sweet weekend: pontšikud ja Aleksandrikook

Magus nädalavahetus.

Ema leidis vanakooli pontšikute retsepti. Proovisin loomulikult järele :) Olen korra pärmitäignast teinud aga need siis kohupiimaga. Esimene ports jäi natuke nätske (söödi ikka hetkega ära) aga edasi oskasin küpsusastet natuke paremini jälgida. Pärmitaigna omad valmisid kiiremini.

No ja kuna järgmine reede on sõbrapäev ning mul plaanis magusad kingitused ja aega proovimiseks rohkem ei ole, siis sattusid kaks küpsetamist samale päevale. Red Velvet cake muffinid (ilma punase värvita) proovisin juba järele. Nüüd punane värv olemas. Aleksandrikoogikesed. Retsepti võtsin siit.
Praegu lihtsalt proov, järgmine nädalavahetus tuleb õige välimus.

Pontšikud

Sweet weekend.

Mom found a recipe for old school doughnuts.  I have made them before from yeast dough but these are with curd dough. First batch was a bit doughy (eaten in a heartbeat nevertheless) but after that I had a better understanding how to observe doneness.

And since next Friday is Valentines and I intend to make sweet presents and the time is running out to make a try-out batch both were done during the same day. Red Velvet Cake cupcakes I have already tried out (without the red colour that time). Though I have the red colour by now. Aleksandricake. Recipe. They do not look as they are going to yet ;)

Individual cherry and chocolate cake

I was watching My Kitchen Rules season 3. My take on individual cherry and chocolate cake. Receipe
Used half of everything, got 3 cakes.

Orange cupcakes

Made cupcakes today :) Orange cupcakes with fresh cheese-lemon glazing. Pretty satisfied actually.

Needed:
2 eggs
1.5dl sugar
100g butter
2.75 dl flour
1.5tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
Zest and 1/2 juice of orange

Frosting
150g Cream cheese (soft cheese)
few drops of lemon juice
150g caster sugar

Beat eggs and sugar. Add melted butter. Add dry ingredients (previously add baking powder and vanilla to flour). Stir. Add orange juice and zest.

Bake in preheated oven, 200C 12-15 minutes.

For frosting I stirred cream cheese and caster sugar. Do not over stir, it can be runny. Add lemon juice.
