Tuesday, 2 April 2013

Ingredients:

Unsalted butter 4 tablespoon

Cream cheese 4 tablespoon

Vanilla essence 1 teaspoon

Condensed milk 450 grams

Walnuts (chopped) 2 cups

Ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon

Method:

Beat butter and cream cheese with vanilla and salt until pale and fluffy. Mix in sugar and walnuts until smooth. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Roll dough (1 tablespoon each) between your hands. Shape into "potatoes." Roll in cinnamon; brush off excess with a pastry brush. To create "eyes," stick in walnut pieces. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Strawberry-Jam Cakes

Ingredients:

Unsalted butter ½ cup

Sugar ¾ cup

Orange zest 1 teaspoon

Eggs 2 whole

All purpose flour 1-1/2 cup

Baking powder ½ teaspoon

Salt ¼ teaspoon

Milk ¼ cup

Strawberries jam 6 tablespoon

Fresh Orange juice ¼ cup

Condensed milk 1-1/2 cup

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Butter a standard 6-cup muffin tin; set aside. In a medium bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and zest until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks one at a time until creamy; set aside. Into a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture and milk in alternating batches to butter mixture; set aside. In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites to soft peaks; fold into batter. Divide half of batter among muffin cups. Make an indentation in the middle of each; fill with 1 tablespoon jam. Top with remaining batter. Bake until a cake tester inserted in top cake layer comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Unmold cakes, and transfer them to a wire rack to cool. In a small bowl, whisk together condensed milk and juice. Place rack over parchment paper; drizzle cakes with glaze.
