Dulce De Leche or Caramelized Sweetened Condensed Milk

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Urrrg. That is how you will feel when you consume as much of this as I have. My advice – do not sample it at all then you won’t have to try and stop yourself from eating it by the spatula-full.

Aunty Robyn’s Rhubarb & Yoghurt cake

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

This cake is so amazing. No one makes it better than Robyn but you can make a pretty good version yourself! It is so moist & one of my husbands favorites and mine too :) Instead of using 2 cups of rhubarb I used 1 cup + 1 of pulped feijoas as we have a ton at the moment. You could use any fruit you desired. I omitted the topping and iced with the passion fruit icing. We also had the Pineapple/Passion fruit variation on the weekend at Robyn’s and I prefer it to the feijoa and rhubarb version.

Chunky Cream Cheese & Strawberry (or any fruit) Muffins

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

I bought some cream cheese at the supermarket today and tried another attempt at probably one of my most favourite bakery/cafe items ever. You know the type, you always buy them but can never find a recipe that comes close.

Now there are literally thousands of recipes out there for cream cheese muffins, but in most of them the cream cheese is beaten in to the wet ingredients. The perfect cream cheese muffin to me requires delicious chunks of cream cheese goodness.  The recipe below I use when I need to use up any fruit, you can use whatever you have on hand or in a tin (I used canned strawberries lol).

muffins for a change

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

well after far too many cupcakes – I decided to make something a bit healthier… except that kind of backfires on me.. you see I always eat like one cupcake and give the rest away. However, I can never give muffins away, they just aren’t cute enough. Or perfect enough. Or yum enough.

mmm tasty
