Chocolate Nest

Got inspiration from my 3years old son stay and play.. Last day for Spring term they've made something for Easter, many thing but the most interesting for me and my son seriously is Chocolate Nest... They made a different style but at home we made our own version.. easy and yummy and the most importand thing is good for kids to join too... :) Like my son said "Its easy peasy mummy, can we do it again next time? :)."

Here for the recipe :

We only need cooking chocolate or you can use chocolate buttons, wholegrain wheat, muffin case and chocolate eggs..

First cruch the wholegrain wheat, melt the cooking chocolate or chocolate buttons, and then mix them together until they combined and put in the case and last put the chocolate eggs.. :) Finish!

Choc chip, nuts and seeds cake

Hari tu sebelum pegi bercuti , sempat jugak dalam kelam kabut pagi tu saya buat kek, dah lama sebenarnya rasa nak makan kek yang macam ni hasil air tangan sendiri tapi keadaan je yang selalu tak mengizinkan, apa-apa pun Alhamdulillah dapat jugak buat ..

Resepi ni sebenarnya ilham dari kotak butter brand yang kegemaran saya.... namanya Stork (perfect for cakes) :)... Tapi macam biasa la saya ni jenis yang tak berdisiplin bab-bab bakar membakar masak memasak ni..hehe ade je yang akan ditambah dan tolak.. tapi setiap kali mesti menjadi ye la..hehe hebat ke kebetulan??? Takpe la apa2 pon asal bahagia tu yang selalu saya kata :).... okla tak nak membebel panjang resepi tu lis macam ni...

For the best Birthday Cake:

In a big bowl, first sieve together 175g self raising flour ( tapi macam sy cakap tadi saya buat ikut sukatan sendiri saya cuah je self raising flour tu dalam bowl tu , dalam 500g gitu haha..) and jangan lupa baking powder.. ( ni saya tak letak.. sebab payah nak ambik masa tu sebab dok top self, tuan pon tak berapa panjang nak ambik huhu )

Ok Next, add 3 eggs ( saya bubuh 5 large eggs), 175g caster sugar ( saya main tuang je, so anggaranya 300g-sengaja dikurangkan sebab saya tak suka manis ), 175g stork (butter, boleh je nak guna brand ape2 pon janji halal yer ) and 1/2tsp vanilla extract ( saya letak satu tudung tu, tak tahula kalo ikut kira sudu... ok next (ni tak de tulis kat situ saje nak tambah ) saya letak la nuts and seeds byk jenis jugak la termasuk raisin pon saya boh sekali...

Now tiba la bab melekit ni, whisk butter and sugar sampai sebati skit pastu campu la telur satu persatu sampai telur habis, sampai silky smooth and then masuk la tepung yang diayak tadi sikit demi sikit , masuk chocolate chip, bila dah siap semua masuk la dalam tin(dulang pembakar) jangan lupa sebelum tu sapu dulang tu dengan mentega atau letak je baking paper untuk bagi tidak melekat.. tin tu di hentak2 skit supaya kak bawah tu seme rata, letak badam sesame seeds and bijan kat atas.

Bake at 170 darjah c (150 darjah c fan assisted)for about 40 minutes while you have a cup tea. Lastly allow to cool in wire rack and kalo nak buat untuk birthday jgn lupa decorate the top in the best birthday way.. Selamat mencuba.. :)

P/s: Sedap tau masa tu kami makan tepi pantai kat Wales.. Makan tak ingat diet you.. hehe :)

Resepi:
Untuk kulit atau pie dough (crust); We need flour, soft butter, a little bit of salt and cold water. All mix together until really soft, put in the plastic bag or freezer bag and put in the fridge for about 4 hours.

Untuk inti; 5 eggs, salt, ground black paper, dry oregano, fresh basil/parsley, chop onions & garlic. Also, cheese: use any type of cheese you like and any veg you like. Combine together, be careful, don't over beat the eggs!!
