10: Bakermat - Vandaag

We face the difficulties of today and tomorrow
I still have a dream
It is a dream in the American dream
I have a dream
One day
This nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed
We hold these truths to be self-evident 
That all men are created equal

I have a dream 
That one day on the red hills of Georgia 
The sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners 
Will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

Cupcakes

Cupcakes, something we all love to eat, but what is funnier to first make them with your family and than watch some tv and eat them???? NOTHING!!!! So I have some recepies for Cupcakes.

Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes

Total time: 45 min
Prep : 15
Cook: 30

Yield: 12

Ingredients
For the cupcakes

• 1/4 pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
• 16 fluid ounces Hershey's chocolate syrup
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

For the ganache:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces good semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules

Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.

Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the flour and coffee granules and mix until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the cupcakes will be tough.

Scoop the batter into the muffin cups and bake for 30 minutes, or until just set in the middle. Don't overbake! Let cool thoroughly in the muffin pan.

For the ganache, cook the heavy cream, chocolate chips, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.

Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the ganache. Do not refrigerate.

Chocolate Dipped Banana Cupcakes with Banana Buttercream

Total time: 1 hr 30 min
Prep: 40 min
Inactive: 30 min
Cook: 20 min

Yield 44

Ingredients
Banana Cake Batter:

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
• 3 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas
• 3/4 cup buttermilk

Dark Chocolate Cake Batter:

• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste

Ganache:

• 9 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more as needed

Buttercream

• 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter
• 2/3 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
• 1 teaspoon banana bakery emulsion
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake pans with cupcake liners (for a total of 44 cupcakes).

For the banana cake batter: In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Add the bananas and buttermilk and beat together well.

For the dark chocolate cake batter: Put the cocoa in a medium heatproof bowl, pour 2 cups boiling water over it and whisk until smooth. Let the mixture cool.

Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at time, and then stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the cocoa mixture.

Fill the cupcake liners one-third full with the banana cake batter. Add the dark chocolate cake batter on top, filling the liners about two-thirds full. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 16 to 19 minutes. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.

For the ganache: Melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a double boiler, stirring the entire time. (Be careful not to get steam or water into your chocolate mixture, as it will seize.) Stir until completely melted and smooth. Add additional cream as needed a tablespoon at a time.

For the buttercream: In a large bowl, whip the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, banana bakery emulsion and bananas. Whip until smooth and creamy.

Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. Drizzle with the chocolate ganache using a squeeze bottle or spoon.

New Year

First I want to wish all of you a Happy Newyear.

I think we all have made some good intentions. Well actually I didn't made some because every time I make them I actually can't let them come true. But I hope for you all that if you've made some that they will come true.

For all those single women or men I hope you'll find some love this year so you can celebrate your birthday or the end of the schoolyear together with him or her. And I hope you'll find someone that will make all your dreams come true. And you'll be happy for the rest of the year and I hope a little bit longer.

Well now I'm going to leave you alone so you can enjoy the first day of the new year and I hope that in 2014 I will have a lot of pageviews.
