Malibu Chocolate Brownies

Hello friends,

 I haven't blogged or baked for a while, as I have been pretty busy travelling and working, so today I decided to bake myself a little Friday treat - Malibu Chocolate Brownies. I am obsessed with coconut, and Malibu in any drink is a good thing - I saw this idea on Bakingmad.com, and it is a cracker!

If you don't want these to be adult brownies you can just leave out the Malibu and the recipe will make a very fudgey moist brownie.

 Ingredients:
230g dark chocolate
2 eggs
170g dark muscovado sugar
30g self raising flour

6 tbsp Malibu

Method:

Preheat your oven to 180C/ 170C fan assisted. Line either a square brownie tin, or if you want slightly deeper brownies a loaf tin with parchment.

Melt the chocolate over a simmering pan of water, taking care not to let it burn.

Beat together the eggs and sugar until fluffy, then pour in the chocolate and mix well. Add in the alcohol if using, and finally sift over the flour - fold this in and pour into your prepared tin.

Bake in the over for 35 minutes. The brownies are ready when the top has gone slightly crispy but still has a wobble. The brownie will harden up more as it is cooling.

Allow to cool fully, then cut into slices to serve.

Sit back and enjoy this beautiful chocolate coconut treat!

BBC Good Food Caramel Brownies

Another get together with friends has prompted some more baking (whilst the baby is sleeping) and the salted caramel cover recipe from a BBC Good Food issue from a while back caught my eye. I have been storing this recipe waiting for a good excuse to bake it, and I can say (after scoffing a few), these brownies do not disappoint and will be made again. Brownies are very easy to make, the one stumbling point I often find is the temperature of the oven and the time they are baked for - as ovens vary vastly this is quite hard to write into a recipe, but I have a fan assisted fairly new over which bakes quite hot. They key for baking the brownies is checking after the stated time, and they should still be a little liquid in the middle if you want moist squishy squares. Leaving them to cool completely in the tin is also an essential, as if they are cut too early they may still be too liquid. Time to make batter - around 15 minutes Baking time - 35 minutes depending on your oven I...

Malteser Christmas Pudding Cake

Doing the rounds at this festive time is a Malteser Cake in the style of a Christmas pudding, and one of my friends has challenged me to make this, so being one to thrive at the thought of a challenge I gave it a go!

This is a beautiful looking cake and an ideal desert to the countless BBQs and outdoor meals as we celebrate the coming of summer. Ingredients: 175g softened butter 175g caster sugar 175g self raising flour 3 duck eggs 250ml double cream 1 tbsp icing sugar 1 tub of strawberries, halved  Method: This makes an 18 inch sandwich cake. Preheat oven to 180C/ 170C fan assisted. In a bowl beat together the sugar and butter until it is pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well.

Fold in the flour gently, and pour the batter into two greased sandwich tins, then put into the oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven when golden and allow to cool fully. Whilst cooling, whip the double cream until it f...
