CHOCOLATE COTTON CAKE

CHOCOLATE COTTON CAKE This chocolate sponge cake is to die for—it’s a soft, fluffy, and jiggly souffle-like cake with a cocoa flavour and a cotton-soft texture!

This light chocolate cake tastes even better than a soufflé! The rich flavor is counterbalanced by the delicate texture, making this dish light and delicious at the same time.

INGREDIENTS FOR CHOCOLATE COTTON CAKE:

  1. 80ml milk
  2. 60ml vegetable oil
  3. 70g flour
  4. 10g cocoa powder
  5. 4 egg whites
  6. 4 egg yolks
  7. 70g sugar
  8. 1/3 teaspoon salt
  9. 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  10. Chocolate chips

 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHOCOLATE COTTON CAKE:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, flour and egg yolks. Divide into two portions and add cocoa powder to the second portion.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with salt, lemon juice and sugar.
3. Divide the white and dark mixtures into two portions.
4. Transfer to baking sheet, add dark mixture, top with white mixture and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
5. Bake with hot water at 170°C (340°F) for 1 hour.

Advice and Notes:

Your cake could break for a few different reasons. A meringue that is unsteady is the worst offenders. The meringue is the foundation of the cake; without it, it cannot rise to the surface or take on the texture of a souffle. Here are some pointers to help you get that perfect meringue:

  • Make use of a spotless bowl: Your egg whites will whip up better if you use a clean basin that has been washed down with vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Employ cooled eggs: Compared to room temperature eggs, chilled eggs whip up much more easily.
  • As soon as the egg whites start to foam, add the sugar: In order to allow the sugar more opportunity to dissolve into the meringue and build a dense network with the egg white proteins, add your egg whites earlier in the meringue whipping process.
  • Rhythm on medium-low: One of the most crucial tricks to a good meringue is to beat on medium-low. Meringue should be beaten quickly to create huge air bubbles rather than tiny ones that form a fine network. You will have a much stronger meringue even if it will take longer.
  • The meringue needs to be firm, but it also needs to be avoided beating it into hard peaks. Cracks appear in the oven when stiff peaks rise quickly.

Air Fryer Focaccia

by

Air Fryer Focaccia

The good news for all of us who adore air fryers is that you can make amazing, delectable focaccia bread in an air fryer. Yes, bread made in an air fryer has the potential to be so delicious that it will be difficult to believe it was not baked in an oven. I’m a big admirer of anything air-fried, so I had to try creating my artisanal oven-baked focaccia in my air fryer, and it turned out fantastically. You will love this focaccia bread made in an air fryer. It will also be a wonderful present for family members, neighbors, and friends. Give it a go! You’re going to adore it!

Ingredients:

Dough for focaccia

  1. My preferred all-purpose flour for this recipe is King Arthur flour, 500 g.
  2. 400 g of room temperature water
  3. Three grams of instant yeast
  4. Nine grams of sea salt

Additional Ingredients and Toppings

  1. 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
  2. Six tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, plus more if necessary;
  3. two finely sliced or minced garlic cloves
  4. 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  5. one cup of finely chopped herbs parsley, sage, dill, and basil

Guidelines

  • Water, flour, yeast, and salt should all be added to a big basin. Make sure the ingredients do not come into contact with one another before mixing. By hand, combine the dough by squeezing it between your fingers until a cohesive, sticky mass forms. Place a plastic wrap over the bowl and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.
  • Stretch and fold for twenty minutes, then for twenty more minutes, and then for twenty more minutes. Once the dough has been shaped into a ball, coat it with two tablespoons olive oil. For an additional twenty minutes, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest.
  • Scoop out three equal portions of dough and place them onto three 7.5″ x 5″ foil pans that have been oiled with two teaspoons of butter (See Notes). Each dough piece should be stretched to completely fill the pan’s bottom. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours or overnight after covering with plastic wrap.
  • Two hours before baking, take the dough out of the refrigerator and cover it to allow it to prove at room temperature.
  • Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the dough. Make deep indentations all over the dough’s surface using your fingertips. After distributing the toppings, pour a little olive oil over everything.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes at the highest temperature, which is typically 400F. Since each air fryer bakes bread differently, start checking early. Your bread might be done sooner, or the baking time might need to be extended by a few minutes. You don’t have to preheat your air fryer.
  • The focaccia should be carefully moved to a large cutting board, sliced, and served hot. It tastes best at this point. Have fun!

NOTES 

  • This recipe’s pan size (7.,5″ x 5″) is meant for my air fryer, which has an inside measurement of 10″ by 10″. You might need to use different sized pans and split the dough into multiple portions, like 2, 4, etc., depending on the size of your air fryer.

Store Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

by

How To Store Creamed Chipped Beef on Toast

  • Any remaining creamed chipped beef sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. You’ll also want to store the toast or biscuits separately from the gravy to prevent it from turning into soggy mush

How to Present Toast with Creamed Chipped Beef

  • For their chipped beef, many people like to serve thick, golden slices of buttered Texas toast; however, you can also serve the gravy over warm buttermilk biscuits.
  • The rich creamed chipped beef white sauce can be prepared ahead of time, though this recipe is best served immediately after preparation. All you need to do is reheat the skillet and toast the Texas toast slices when it’s time to serve at the table.

Ingredients:

  1. 1 pound of mildly flavored breakfast sausage
  2. Garlic powder, half a teaspoon
  3. Salt and pepper to taste; if desired, substitute cajun spices like Tony Satcheries for the salt and pepper.
  4. three cups of milk
  5. one-third cup of all-purpose flour
  6. Homemade or store-bought biscuits (if preparing biscuits and gravy)

Instructions:

  1. After crumbling the sausage, add it to a frying pan.
  2. Sausages should be fried until they are well cooked.
  3. After removing the sausage from the pan, set it aside.
  4. Keep the sausage’s fat and oil in the pan.
  5. While continuously whisking to remove any lumps, add the flour.
  6. Next, add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper for seasoning. Thoroughly combine the components.
  7. Stir in beef and cayenne; cook until warmed through. Serve over toast.

Notes

  • Add some finely chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, chives, and thyme, to the gravy.
  • If you want to kick up the heat in your gravy, spices like cayenne, rosemary, sage, and smoked paprika are fantastic.
  • You can substitute sausage links (without the casings) for the bulk sausage in this recipe.
  • Use either full or 2% milk for the greatest consistency. For a gluten-free variation, use Gluten Free Flour instead of ordinary flour
