Recipe Post 2018 N0.28- Brownies on Bonfire Night

I sit at my writing desk, a stack of decadent, gooey warm brownies toppled on one lap and my whopping big laptop on the other, helping myself to one delectable treat with a glass of water nearby(to balance out the richness). As I bite into the

fudge-like,oozy centre of the brownie bake, my mind drifts away to what I was doing in the kitchen in order to make this. "Whisk together the sugar and eggs..." " Add in the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder..." "Stir in the melted chocolate..." Simultaneously my mind is

intruded with a bang of fireworks, blazing up into the sky like rockets, erupting its jolly excitement for my baking posts on BakingBoutique. With this, I smile to myself, perch myself up the door ledge, outside and gaze up at the wondrous fireworks with a brownie and glass of water at hand....

Happy Bonfire Night luvs

Recipe Post 2017 N0.23- Blueberry and Apple Cake

Hello everyone!

First of, thanks so much for reading last week's post! I still can't conceptualize it's been two years since it all began. I apologize the pictures for latest week's post have taken forever to upload-parent's evening is right around the corner and I'm striving to receive a good report from ALL my teachers.

Moving swiftly, onto this week's post this recipe originates from Mary Berry's set of easy cake recipes(I'll leave the link to the ORGINIAL recipe at the end). I chose this recipe for two reasons : One of which is it's super easy for all you guys at home to try. That and the fact that it's not as sweet and caloric as my usual sweet cakes. I hope you enjoy and let's jump right into the recipe!

250g of self-raising flour

100g of caster sugar

2 large eggs

150g of melted butter

1tsp of baking powder

2 s,mall,peeled,cored and chopped apples

175g of fresh blueberries

75g of sifted icing sugar.

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 170℃/325F/ Gas Mark 3.

Place the self-raising flour into a bowl with the baking powder,caster sugar,eggs and melted butter. Beat with an electric whisk until smooth.

Fold in the chopped apples and fresh blueberries.

Grease a 20cm(8in) SQUARE cake tin,lining with baking paper. Spoon the mixture into the tin for...1 to 1hour and 25 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch.

Cool in the tin for 10 minutes,eventually turn out & leave to cool completely.

Mix the icing suagr with 2-3tbsps of warm water to make smooth icing. SPread this over the cake and leave to set.

Cut into 12 squares and serve as desired.
