Baked Apple

Hey everybody!

Yesterday I made a pre-Christmas meal for my family. There were chicken legs with potatoes and red cabbage. As dessert we had a delicious baked apple and this I want to show you today.
This recipe is very easy to make and tastes delicious. A warm apple with delicious marzipan filling (I love marzipan ). In the marzipan are delicious chopped almonds. With a custard and actually even a scoop of vanilla ice – but we had none at home :(

For this recipe you need circa 35minutes. It costs about 5€.

 Ingredients (4 apples):

100g marzipan
3tbsp. of chopped almonds
4 apples (e.g. Boskoop)
4tbsp.of lemon juice
130ml apple juice
1 package of custard powder
2tbsp. of sugar
250ml milk

if you want: raisins (but I don't like them much)

1.

Cut the into four pieces and mix with the almonds. Then shape into small rolls. Cut out the cores of the apples and put the marzipan roles into. Place the apples in a baking dish and sprinkle with lemon- and apple juice. Then the apples have to roast in the oven (200° for 25 minutes).

2.

Then mix the sauce powder with sugar and three tablespoons of milk. Boil the remaining milk and add the sauce powder to the milk and boil while stirring. Put the sauce over the baked apples and ready is the delicious dessert.

Christmas-Cupcakes

Hello bakingfriends!

Christmas is almost here, so I want to show you today christmas-cupcakes. I've decorated with little Santas and snowflakes. They also taste delicious , because the cream is already in the cupcake.
Unfortunately I did not have enough cream, next time I should do something more or make not so big holes. 

But otherwise they taste like white chocolate with fluffy dough.

You need about 20 minutes for the preparation and 25 minutes for baking. The ingredients cost circa 5,50. (Depending on what you have at home)

Ingredients (for 6 cupcakes): 

For the cupcakes:

2 eggs
80g sugar
80g butter
80g flour
1 small package of baking powder
½ vanilla pod

For the cream: 

200g white chocolate
6tbsp. of whipping cream
sugar pearls

1. 

First you need to preheat oven to 180 ° C, then place the paper cases in the muffin tin. Next, whisk the eggs and sugar up. You get a white, creamy mass.

2.

Bring the butter to melt. Mix the flour with the baking powder and give both gradually to the cream. You have to open the vanilla pod, and scrape out the pulp and add to the dough. Then you have to mix everything well and spread the dough on the paper cases. The dough have to bake for 20 minutes.

3. 

The cupcakes have to cool down on a rack. If they are not so hot, you have to undermine a little bit with a knife.

4. 

For the cream you need to cut the white chocolate into small pieces and melt in the microwave and mix it well. Whip the cream. Give the melted chocolate to the cream and whip it.

5.

Pour the cream with a pastry bag into the cupcakes and extend the upward spiral. Then comes the fun part : decorating :)

Spitzbuben

I wish you all a nice third Advent.

Christmas time is family time, so I diligently baked with my mom and my sister this weekend cookies. A variety of these were the “Spitzbuben“ which are super tasty, but unfortunately a little bit complicated. They taste of hazelnut and are delicious with currant jelly.

For these cookies (20 pieces) you need about 20 minutes. You have to let the dough rest for 30 minutes. All in all you need 50 minutes. The price for this recipe is about 4,50€.

 Most of my recipes I do with this maker. It is a little older-about 8 years, but it makes it much easier. It is from Aldi and has cost at that time about 90 €.

Ingredients:

420g flour
210g sugar
250g butter
125g hazelnuts (grated)
1 glass of currant jelly

if you want: powdered sugar

1.

The first thing you gonna do, is to sift the flour. Next you have to mix the flour with sugar, butter and hazelnuts. After that you put the dough into the fridge. The dough has to rest for 30 minutes.

2.

The next step is, you have to roll out dough (1-2 cm thick) and cut out small round cookies. I do it with this rotary cutter (4-5€, sometimes at Lidl).

3.

Then you put the cookies into the oven, for 15 minutes (170°-preheated). Mop the ground with currant jelly and put the cookie with the star on it.
Last step: dust with the powdered sugar.

Do you like cookies with hazelnuts or currant jelly?

Cinnamonroll-Cake

Hey guys,

today I want to show you a cake which I baked for the first time. He is with cinnamon rolls, and I love these „Ohrfeigen“ with cinnamon. But to be honest, I thought it will be more delicious. It is less sweet, but I like it. But what bothers me is that I can taste the cinnamon, not as good as the „Ohrfeigen“ - the next time I put more cinnamon onto.

All in all it is an delicious cake and in my opinion it is easy to bake.

You need about 15 minutes for the preparation and one hour to let the dough rise. The recipe costs circa 4,50€.

Ingredients:

For the dough

1 yeast
120ml water (lukewarn)
120ml milk (lukewarm)
60g margarine
60g sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. of salt
480g flour

For the filling

2 tsp. of cinnamon
40g sugar
as needed butter (melted)

For the icing

120g icing sugar
1 small package of vanilla sugar
1 tbsp. of milk

1.

First you do the dough. You mix all the ingredients for the dough (it should be easy to take it out). Next you let the dough prove.

2.

The next step is doing the filling. After you've let the dough prove, you roll it out (ca. 76x46 cm). Then you have to grease the dough and drege it with the sugar and the cinnamon.

After that you furl the dough on the longer side and cut the roll into 4cm pieces. These you put into a springform pan and put it in the oven for 25-30 minutes (175°C).

3.

The last step is, you have to put the icing (icing sugar with vanilla sugar and milk) onto the hot cake.

Do you have another recipes with cinnamon which you prefer?
