Fruit Pavlova

Pavlova is a light, meringue cake that is crispy on the outside and kind of chewy and marshmallowy on the inside. Top that with whipped cream or a decadent creme anglais, and plenty of fresh fruits and you have a dessert sure to impress anyone!!. Pavlova was created in honour of the famous ballet dancer Anna Pavlova either in Australia or New Zealand.  I will not enter into details as I know it is a bit of a sore point between the 2 countries, but if you are interested in knowing more, you can read this Wiki article.

Ingredients:
4 egg whites
2 cups sugar (powdered)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 tbsp corn flour
For topping
1/2cup whipping cream
1 tbs sugar
Fresh fruits

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 130 degrees C. Take a baking sheet or bigger pan and line it with wax paper or oven safe silicon mat. Take a pencil and draw an 18cm circle (not necessary if you can guess and spread meringue in a circle) on the wax paper. Reverse the paper.
2. Take the bowl of your electric mixer or a handmixer and add egg whites in it (the bowl and the beater must not have any water or oil in it, so clean with a kitchen towel or tissue before adding the egg whites). Beat the egg whites at medium speed until soft peaks are formed. Now add sugar 1/4 cup at a time and beat at high speed. This will help form the perfect meringue with stiff and shiny peaks. Beat until you get a meringue that does not fall when you hold your bowl upside down.
3. Now add vanilla essence and beat. Sprinkle corn flour on the peaks and pour the vinegar on them. Use a spatula to gently fold in the vinegar and corn flour.
4. Take out the prepared baking sheet and spread the meringue within the circle that you had drawn earlier. Evenly spread the meringue inside the lines to form a perfect circle.
5. Bake meringue for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, the pavlova should be dry to the touch. Cool completely before removing from wax paper or silicon mat. Transfer pavlova on to a serving dish.
6. In a small bowl, beat heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Fill the center of the pavlova with whipped cream, and top with fresh fruits………….. enjoy!

Chocolate Fudge Pudding Cake


Hi my readers, Ramadan Mubarak to all the lovely people of Maldives & all around the world. I know a lot of people are waiting impatiently for a new recipe from me so here I go and the first recipe of Ramadan starts with Chocolate.  
This is how cake should look when baked
Ingredients:
For the cake:
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
100 grams dark chocolate (melted using a double boiler)
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tsp baking powder
½ cup butter milk (1 cup full cream milk + 1 tsp vinegar or 2 tsp lime juice mix & keep for 10 minutes)
1 large egg
For the poured syrup
½ cup heavy cream or whipping cream
1/3 cup condensed milk
½ cup cocoa powder (Sieved cocoa powder)

Method:
Prepare an 8 inch baking tray by greasing the bottom & sides with vegetable oil or margarine, set aside. Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 160 c. Mix all the syrup ingredients well until all the cocoa is dissolved set aside.

In a bowl using your hand mixture or a stand mixture mix all the cake ingredients. It will be easy to mix if sugar is finely ground. Pour cake mixture into baking tray. Bake the cake for 10 minutes just until the sides are set. Below is a picture.

Take the cake out from oven and pour the chocolate syrup on the middle of the cake, using a knife or the tip of a rubber spatula, gently swirl the cake batter together so they're mixed, but not completely blended.

Bake until a pick inserted about 1 inch from the edge comes out gooey, but not liquid, 40 to 45 min, don't over bake. The top will be puffed and slightly cracked ... enjoy!

Chocolate Lava Muffins

 


After long time again I am posting a new recipe. Just too busy at home & baking, but as the Ramadan is getting near I am getting ready with some delicious recipes to upload and next month I am conducting three classes especially for Ramadan that's my Cheesecakes Class, my Cooking Class & I love Chocolate class, all my readers if you want to join any of my classes feel free to contact me or mail me or for more information you can always check my face book page “Cheesecakes” .

These Muffins I made yesterday for my daughter's request. Since last December she is staying at Colombo for her higher studies. She came for few days & this morning again she left. My kid's love the chocolate lava cakes sold at the pizza hut or Mac Donald's at Sri Lanka from these two places I don't remember much from where. I was able to make four muffins from this batter. That's normal ramekins size. These muffins are so delicious, give a try just so simple & you don't have to use a beater too, if you don't have ramekins you can make a one big Muffin in a 6inch tray or even oven safe cups can be used.

Ingredients
1/2cup unsalted butter
200grms dark chocolate
1/2cup sugar
3tbs flour
1/4tsp salt
4eggs
Butter & cocoa enough to coat your muffin cups or ramekins

Method
Pre heat your oven to 160c, in a sauce pan melt chocolate & butter, set aside to cool.

Generously butter your ramekins, keep in fridge until the batter is ready. When the chocolate mixture is cool add sugar, flour & salt mix well until no lumps. Now add the eggs, beat until everything is incorporated. Take out your ramekins, put a teaspoon of cocoa powder into each ramekin & turn to coat the inside and sides well.


Divide the batter in to four ramekins. Arrange the ramekins in a flat baking tray & bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until sides are baked & the center is soft. Run a small knife inside around the ramekin to release the muffin & turn the ramekin upside down on to a serving plate & tap the bottom little, take the ramekin, serve the Chocolate Lava Muffin with Vanilla Ice Cream, I loved it plain........ Enjoy!
