Do you ever feel like giving up? Thinking to settle for the 9-5 because it's the easy option? I contemplated it last week when I was looking at admin jobs and thought to myself, this is a sign I'm giving up my dream and goal of becoming a food presenter. I then brainstormed more recipes, ate most of them, ran 8 miles and realised I can never give up until I'm on TV making all of you lot smile.
This girl's got to keep on baking to keep sane!
I've been testing out new cake frosting ideas which don't involve icing sugar or butter. Here's one which is very tasty on top of delicious chocolate quinoa sponges.
Ingredients:
60g unsalted butter
150g soft brown sugar
1 medium egg
20g cocoa powder
75g plain flour
75g quinoa flour
140ml semi skimmed milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar.
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp almond essence
Super food frosting:
1 medium banana
1 ripe avocado
100g dark chocolate
2tbsp hot coconut oil
Super seed mix - pumpkin, linseed, chia, poppy and sesame seeds.
Gold lustre spray
Method:
▶ Preheat oven 180°c
Cream butter and sugar until pale then add egg, essence, milk solution and stir through cocoa and flours.
Pour vinegar and bicarbonate of soda on top of mixture.
Divide between 12 cases and bake for 20 minutes.
Leave to cool.
For the frosting mix all the ingredients until smooth and refrigerate until the cakes are cold.
Stir once again, spread over each cake and sprinkle seeds of love.
Get a cherry on top because it's also pretty and super.xx
