LA SCIENCE DE FAIRE DU GÂTEAU AU CHOCOLAT


I have been on a quest lately. Gathering date, planning my methodology, conducting alpha and beta tests to get the PERFECT CHOCOLATE CAKE.
It was not an easy run. In the process I discovered the following
·         Chocolate cake will burn very easily
·         Sometimes it will refuse to rise
·         Other times it will start to burn on the outside whilst the inside is not really done
·         Sometimes it will crumble
·         I will stick at the base of the baking tray and break up

·         LASTLY APPRECIATE ANY GOOD CHOCOLATE CAKE MAKER

Before I say any other thing I must thank my “Guinea Pigs/ Lab rats” for their contribution towards this research.
From the people at my office to my mum and Mansa, thanks guys for availing yourselves for this test.
Congratulations to Yaa A G for being the one to have the first bite of the near perfect CHOCOLATE CAKE
I want to put the recipe up but I’m not really sure of the measurements. I need to have another go at it with my scale by my side but for the mean time enjoy a photo of the "ONE" and try out the recipe for LEMON SPONGE CAKE- It’s a good one and it’s easy to make.







LEMON SPONGE CAKE

Ingredients

·         1 cup cake flour
·         1/2 teaspoon salt
·         1 teaspoon baking powder
·         3 eggs
·         1 cup white sugar
·         1 tablespoon lemon juice
·         1/2 teaspoon lemon extract or grated lemon rind
·         6 tablespoons hot milk

Directions
·         Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder.
·         In a large bowl, beat eggs until fluffy and lemon coloured. Gradually beat in sugar. Stir in lemon juice and flavoring. Add sifted flour mixture gradually while beating; beat only enough to blend. Add hot milk quickly 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until blended. Pour into ungreased pan at once.
·         Bake 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to touch. Invert, and cool in pan. Then loosen sides, and turn out on cake rack to cool completely

RESTAURANT MEAT BALLS SAUCE

With February being the month of sauces, this is a must try. It's good and very easy to make. I made it on Monday morning before work and I was early to work so u can be sure that it definitely is quick to make.  BON APPETITE  INGREDIENTS ¾ Pound Minced Meat 2 Onions 2 small Green Pepper Powdered Pepper Corn Flour 2 Garlic Flour 1 Egg METHOD Season meat with some salt, powdered pepper, (grounded ginger, garlic and onions).

GLOBAL WARMING

I was really craving for some mushrooms and when I asked where I could get some, I was told they were not in season yet. With all the noise I make about food, you would think I’d know when these things are in season, but it isn’t me; it is this confused weather. Let’s be real, this Global Warming business is no joke. We have been having “Hot and Cold”,” Yes and No” weather so long I’ve lost track of when it was supposed to start raining. So you can imagine how excited I was a when I went to the ‘Commercial Area’ and saw mushrooms sitting on a vegetable vendor’s table. They were not the wild ones but they would do. I could have gone with soup but it would take too long and I really wanted to eat some mushrooms so I made a Sausage and Mushroom sauce and it was great. SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM SAUCE   Ingredients 8 or more Mushrooms 3 Sausages 2 medium sized Onions Butter/oil 1 large Green pepper Corn Flour 3 Garlic Powdered Pepper 1 thumb sized Ginger Curry Lemon pepper/ mixture of blac...
