Creative side of imagination

It was a long time ago since I last posted, so I decided to catch up a little bit. I will be posting not one but two recipes that I used for birthdays. One is about a cake (see next post) and the other is my own recipe for blueberry dessert. So without further ado, here we go. Ingredients;          Butter cake batter: 0.5512 lb (250 g) of softened butter 1 cup (201 g) of crystal sugar 2 tsp of vanilla extract 3 eggs 2 1/2 cups (320 g) of flour 2/3 cup (160 ml) of milk     Blueberry filling: 0.1268 pt (60 ml) of orange juice or water 6 tbsp of crystal sugar 1.323 lb (600 g) of blueberries a pinch of nutmeg a pinch of pepper 2 tbsp of crystal sugar 3 tbsp of starch       Cream frosting: 0.4227 pt (200 ml) of double cream 2 tbsp of crystal sugar 3 tsp of vanilla sugar 3 tsp of cream stabilizer 0.3968 lb (180 g) of sour cream 4 tbsp of powdered sugar      Proce...

I've tasted this sweet dessert couple of times and always swore I would try to do it myself, but never had the time. So, since my brother had a birthday coming up and knowing he loooves it, I just had to find the time for it. My original idea was to reconstruct Lambada dessert in a traditional way of making a cake. But this plan fell through. Structurally, it would be just too unstable. Therefore, I decided to make it like it's supposed to be done. Here is the recipe for it ( in English as well as Slovene ); Ingredients / Sestavine:                 Sponge Cake / Biskvit (for 16 people / za 16 ljudi) -           4 eggs                                                    / 4 jajca -     ...

  Since it's already the time for barbecues and picnics I couldn't resist to try the recipe for homemade marshmallows. It tastes like heaven even though it takes a while to be made. I had two recipes in my hand. One in Slovene ( Kulinarika.net )   and one in English ( seriouseats.com ). I chose American recipe since it was more precise. I simplified it a little. You can find photo tutorial on this link: How to Make Marshmallows . Here you have it ;)  Utensils: - Baking pan/tray - 4 cups - Whisk - Kitchenware - 2 Bowls - Electric mixer - Foil - Chopping board - Kitchen knife - Small offset spatula    Ingredients: - ½ cup confectioners sugar - 1 teaspoon butter - 1 cup water, divided - 2 cups granulated sugar - Two ¼-ounce packets of unflavored powdered gelatin (about 5 teaspoons) - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (or other flavouring) - 3 large egg whites (at room temperature) - pinch of salt The Meth...

Chocolate is one of the many things I love so I decided to try a recipe for brownies this week. It's fairly simple, quick (it takes 30 minutes all together) and delicious. Let me just say that they went as fast as they were made. I got the recipe from the site called Okusno.je . It's written in slovene (all my fellow Slovenians can get it with just a click on the link). For those who don't speak slovene here is the recipe. Utensils: - Saucepan - Weighing scales - Bowl - 2 Spoons (one for the melting chocolate and one for mixing ingredients) - Baking pan/tray - Dish - Electric mixer Ingredients (for 12 people; for 6 people just use half of the ingredients quantity): - 250   g butter - 250   g dark chocolate - 2 cl rum (I used 1 shot-glass) - 250   g brown or white sugar - 10   g vanilla sugar - 180   g flour - 50   g cocoa powder - 5 eggs (in case you're making it for 6 people use 3 eggs) - 20   g b...
