Flourless Chocolate cake

I got hooked on these super cute Betty Crocker how-to videos over at Howdini and found the most perfect recipe for flourless chocolate cake. SO rich! seriously, i decided to call it cake chocolate rather than chocolate cake.


Bake with caution! hehehe.



230 grams of unsalted butter
6 eggs
1 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
230 grams of cooking chocolate (70% cocoa)
1 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)

preheat the over to around 180°C and line a mid sized pan with baking paper and a little butter.
melt the butter and chocolate together in a pot, stir frequently.
sift the cocoa powder and add the sugar, mix, then add the eggs and continue mixing till combined.
then slowly add the melted butter and chocolate to the bowl, be careful not to scramble the eggs. Combine well.
cook for about 45mins.
no frosting, its much too rich!
Just a sprinkle of icing sugar is lovely.


This cake is also great because it will keep for ages!


enjoy!

The Mill

Recently i ventured out to the gorgeous Daylesford with my mum.

I’ve being going there since I was a youngen, but i’ve never really felt such a need to write about and photograph all the lovely things i usually do there! Daylesford is just bursting with cute scenery, retro and vintage stores.

I just wanted show The Mill Markets a massive warehouse with what seems like endless amounts of stalls and vintage and retro ware. its rather overwhelming when you first enter it, but once i dive in i’m just lost for hours. Going with my mum is especially fun, with her rather extended knowledge of collectibles and enthusiasm for it all.

Peach and mixed berries crumble!

Having some friends round for dinner the other night inspired me to get out my apron and start baking!


I made this simply delicious crumble, using my mums preserved peaches and frozen berries. The recipe was mainly based on the crumble in Frankies Afternoon tea, give or take a few different seeds and nuts. We had a little kerfuffle with the oven so at one point we took it out put in the microwave for three minutes or so, which i think did something amazing to the whole thing, then we put it back in a super hot oven to crisp it up a little, YUM!
