Just eggs, greek yogurt, flour, sugar and baking powder

Just eggs, greek yogurt, flour, sugar and baking powder 😍This is the fluffiest cake we’ve ever made

Searching for a cake that is airy, light, and visually striking? This recipe for yoghurt cake, which resembles a Japanese yoghurt cake and is made with less sugar and cornflour, is a high-rise, whipped egg white cake. After preparing the batter, fold in the chocolate chunks and yoghurt. After pouring the thin batter into the baking pan, bake it until it becomes fluffy and light. After giving the cake a little dusting of powdered sugar, serve. A tiny bit of crunch and a hint of chocolate flavour are added by the chocolate chips. You can eat the cake by itself or with a scoop of your preferred ice cream.

Ingredients

  1. 4 egg yolks
  2. 4 egg whites
  3. 3 tbsp sugar
  4. 400g Greek yogurt (10%)
  5. 4 tbsp cornstarch
  6. 1/2 tsp baking powder
  7. 40g chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions

Mixing the Egg Yolks

Begin by separating the egg yolks from the whites. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks with the sugar, baking powder, and cornstarch. Mix until well combined and the mixture is smooth. Then, gently fold in the Greek yogurt until evenly incorporated.
Beating the Egg Whites

In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help give your cake its light and airy texture.
Combining the Ingredients

Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture, making sure not to deflate the egg whites. Once combined, gently stir in the chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch.

Baking the Cake

Preheat your oven to 170°C. Pour the cake batter into a greased baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use only full-fat Greek yogurt. If you can’t find it in a store near you, look for any other full-fat thick-style yogurt.
  • The bowl used for whipping the egg whites must be clean. If there is any fat residue, the egg whites won’t whip properly.
  • Make sure to use fresh eggs, as they will be easier to whip to stiff peaks.
  • Feel free to substitute the chocolate chips with white chocolate chips. You can also use freeze-dried berries instead of chocolate chips.
  • For a citrusy flavor, leave out the chocolate chips, and add orange, lime, or lemon zest (or a combination of all three!). Decorate with more zest.

Make sure to use parchment paper. The cake rises quite high and the parchment paper will provide support to the cake as it rises.

Don’t omit the cornstarch. It helps to absorb some of the residual liquid left behind from the yogurt.

The eggs are a big part of this cake, so they can’t be replaced with an alternative.

How to Make Chocolate Croissants in 30 Minutes

Traditional croissant dough is a fun, but a time consuming process. It’s something everyone should try at some point, but it certainly does not fit into our definition of an easy recipe. That’s why we adore this recipe.

 

Thanks to store-bought puff pastry, you really can make flaky, homemade chocolate croissants without the extra time and fuss. Everyone will love them, too.
Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 tsp salt
  3. 1 tbsp sugar
  4. 2 tsp active dry yeast
  5. 3/4 cup warm milk (around 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit)
  6. 1 egg
  7. 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
    8 oz dark chocolate, cut into small pieces

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp sugar, and 2 tsp active dry yeast. Add 3/4 cup warm milk and 1 egg, and stir until well combined.
  2. Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes.
  3. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter over 2/3 of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Fold the unbuttered third of the dough over the buttered third, and then fold the remaining buttered third over that, as if you’re folding a letter.
  6. Roll out the dough again into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Fold the dough into thirds again, as before. Repeat this process one more time, for a total of three turns.
  7. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles, about 3-4 inches on the base and 6-8 inches on the height.
  8. Place a piece of chocolate on the base of the triangle, and roll the dough up, starting at the base and moving towards the point of the triangle. Pinch the ends to seal.
  9. Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to rise for another 15 minutes.
  10. Brush the croissants with an egg wash (1 beaten egg mixed with 1 tsp of water)
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Let the croissants cool for a few minutes before serving.

Banana Pudding Cake Recipe

Banana Pudding Cake Recipe

I’m a huge fan of banana pudding and cake recipes, so this delectable banana pudding cake excites me much!

  9. plus two tablespoons of heavy cream
  10. Two sliced bananas
  11. . Nilla Wafers broken up

 

Guidelines

First Step

  • Bake the cake: Turn the oven on to 350°. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and line them with parchment paper. Follow the directions on the cake mix package to prepare it. Split the batter among the cake pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool for ten minutes in the pans before turning them over onto wire racks to finish cooling.
  • Step 2: Prepare the pudding: Pour the milk and pudding mix into a big basin and stir until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Add Cool Whip and fold.

  • Step 4: Decorate the cake: Cut off each cake’s rounded top with a serrated knife to make it level. Place a layer of pudding on top of one cake, then the majority of the banana slices (reserving some for garnish). After putting the second cake on top, cover the whole thing with buttercream frosting, saving about a cup to add piping on top of. Crushed Nilla wafers should be pressed over the cake’s edges.
  • Using a piping bag fitted with a large star tip, transfer the remaining buttercream and pipe giant swirls around the top of the cake. Add more banana slices and Nilla wafers as decorations..

French Onion Soup Burgers

French Onion soup burger

🍔🧅 French Onion Soup Burgers 🍔🧅

I have finally found a burger that I just want to eat all the time. And I’m not normally a big burger person! These French Onion Soup Burgers are everything a burger shoul

They’re juicy and super flavorful and can I just say Caramelized Onions and melty Provolone or Gruyere and an Onion Bun just to drive those flavors home? Do I even need to say anything else?

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  1. 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  2. 1 packet or about 4 to 6 tablespoons Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  3. 2 1/2 tablespoons butter
  4. 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  5. a pinch of thyme
  6. water as needed, about a 3/4 cup
  7. 1 tablespoon brandy or Sherry (optional, but recommended)
  8. 4 to 8 ounces Swiss or Provolone cheese
  9. 4 buns and a little butter or oil to brush them with

Directions:

  • Mix ground beef with onion soup mix; set aside to rest as the onions are caramelized.
  • Add the butter to a skillet, when hot, add the onions and thyme and about 1/4 cup of water. Add lid and allow to simmer for three or four minutes until onions are tender are the water is nearly evaporated.
  • (Check during cooking time to make sure all the water hasn’t evaporated early.) Remove lid and continue to cook, stirring often and adding a splash of water now and then if the onions are beginning to darken unevenly and stick to the pan. When onions are soft and beautifully browned, add dash of the brandy or Sherry and remove from heat.
  • Place a dent in the top of each burger so they’ll cook up flat and not rounded. Cook on the stovetop in a medium-hot pan or on the grill over medium-high heat, turning once, for about three minutes on the first side. Turn and add a spoonful of caramelized onions and a slice or two of cheese to the top of each burger, lower the heat to medium and continue to cook until burger is desired doneness, two to four minutes longer. Cover if needed, for a minute or two to get the cheese to melt.
  • In the meantime, brush the cut side of the buns with butter or oil and toast in a hot pan or on the grill.

Notes on temperature:

We like ours at 143 degrees F. which is just slightly pink in the middle.

  • rare: 125 degrees (dark purple-red, just warm, tender)
  • medium rare: 135 degrees (bright purple-red, warm, tender, very juicy)
  • medium: 145 degrees (rich pink, yielding, slightly tender, juicy)
  • medium well: 155 degrees (tan with slight pink, firm, some juice)
  • well: 160 (tan to brown, no pink, chewy, little if any juice)

If you need more or less than four burgers, for each burger:

For each burger:

  • 6 ounces ground beef
  • 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons onion soup mix
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
  • a small pinch of thyme
  • water as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon brandy or Sherry (optional, but recommended)
  • 1 to 2 ounces Gruyere (Swiss) or Provolone cheese (one or two slices)
  • 1 bun and a little butter or oil to brush it with

Air Fryer Method;

  1. Line the air fryer basket with foil or parchment and spray with olive oil spray.
  2. Place the patties evenly in the basket.
  3. Air Fry for 5 minutes at 375 Degrees.
  4. Carefully open and turn and cook an additional 5 minutes at 375 degrees.
  5. Open up the air fryer and see if they are to your desired doneness or at least 165 degrees.
  6. If they need additional time, add an additional 2 minutes to the cook time.
