Food For Thought Friday: Chocolate Cake

Hello everyone. This week was full of tension because I was getting my English results but thank God it all worked out well.

We all get these random food cravings. Nachos, ice-cream,pizza and the mouth watering chocolate cake.
Here is a recipe for a delicious chocolate cake which we have been using forever.

Ingredients

6 oz self raising flour.
Pinch Salt
4oz butter
1tbsp golden syrup
Castor sugar to sprinkle
2 oz chocolate powder
2 eggs
4 oz sugar
Milk to mix-if necessary.

Preparation

Grease and line a 7 inch cake tin. Sieve flour,chocolate powder and salt together. Beat the eggs well and cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and dry ingredients alternately to the creamed mixture. After all flour is added, add the syrup and milk ( milk is to be added only if it is necessary to make your mixture to a soft spoon dropping consistency.
Put in the middle of a moderately hot oven (400 F or the number 6 in your gas burner) for about 1 hour and 15 minutes. To check if it is well done put a toothpick or skewer in the middle. If it comes out clean that means your cake is ready to go.

Cool the cake before pulling it out of the tin and then invite a couple of friends eat cake and let me know how it turned out to be xx

Love,
Zarnish xx

Food For Thought:Potato Salad.

 Ola Amigos!
Today has been full of posts. I am very happy about that.  I was going through some of the ideas in my blog book, when I came across this sentence which said "write about recipes". Bingo I thought. I love food. It would be lovely to share some of the recipes I have already tried.

Just for the record since this was pretty spur of the moment, I don't have any photos of the final product. Next time I'll plan it and share loads of photos. Pinky Promise.

Here's the recipe for a delicious potato salad.

Ingredients
  1. 3 potatoes of medium size
  2. 1 cup shredded carrots
  3. 1 cup shredded cucumber
  4. 1 bunch of spring onions
  5. 3 eggs boiled
  6. 6-7 mint leaves 
 Preparation
Cut the boiled potatoes into cubes,add carrots and cucumber. Cut the boiled eggs into bite size pieces. Add salt and pepper alongside the spring onion and mint leaves with it. Mix it with some mayonnaise.  Toss the salad. Serve it cold and with a big smile! xx


Love,
