Chocolate Biscuit Pudding Recipe

Hello my lovely foodies

I apologise again for another late update on my "Sunday Bakes" post. I was just super busy yesterday and didn't have the time to blog. To make up for it, I'm going to share a very simple and traditional recipe with you today. 

This dessert is called "Sri Lankan Chocolate Biscuit Pudding" which requires NO BAKING whatsoever :) 

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

INGREDIENTS:

• 250g digestive biscuits 
• 250g icing sugar 
• 150g butter, softened 
• 1 egg 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 
• 2 cups milk 
• 3 tablespoon cocoa powder 
• 1 cup cashew nuts, chopped 

1) Combine butter and sugar until creamy. Add cocoa powder. After everything is mixed well, beat in the egg and vanilla until mixture is smooth.

2) Dip biscuits into milk one by one as the biscuits get soft very quickly.

3) Base: Chocolate Layer, Second Layer: Milky biscuits, continue until there is no chocolate mixture left. But make sure the top layer is chocolate layer instead of biscuits layer.

4) Decorate with chopped nuts and refrigerate for 3-4 hours before serving.

Voila!


Super quick and super easy. Give it a go! Although if you don't like your desserts too sweet, change the icing sugar to 200g instead of 250g.

Lemon Cake Recipe

Hey my lovely foodies

Sorry for the late update on my "Sunday Bakes". But I've got a super easy recipe you can try out this weekend for tea :)

I decided to go with lemon cake because the weather was really nice and it just felt like a "tea" day so I wanted to go for something that goes well with a cup of English tea. Haha. Not as posh as it sounds, but this lemon cake recipe is super easy and tastes amazing!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

CAKE:

• 1/2 cup butter (softened or melted, it's up to you)
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 lemon's zest

TOPPING:

• 1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Slices of lemon to decorate

1) Heat oven to 180 degrees celcius/Gas 4.Grease a loaf tin with vegetable oil or butter (completely up to you, but I used butter).

2) Combine butter and sugar until creamy. Then add the eggs one at a time, beating well. Add milk. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and zest; mix well. Pour dry ingredients to the mixture and mix well. Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for 50-55 minutes.

3) Let the lemon loaf cool down in the tin while preparing the topping. Heat lemon juice and sugar until sugar dissolves completely. Pour over the cake and slice a few pieces of lemon to decorate. Dust some icing sugar over the cake if desired. 

There you go. Super fast, super easy, super yummy!

Cookies n Cream Cake Recipe

As most of you will know by now, I bake every Sunday and post my "Sunday Bakes" on Monday. Weird, I know, but that's how I do things. Haha.

Whenever it comes to ice-cream, I usually go for something really different. By this, I mean, no vanilla, no strawberry, no chocolate. I had cookies n cream flavoured ice-cream not long ago and just loved it. So, I of course decided to make cookies n cream cake :)

As usual, I took bits and pieces of ingredients from different recipes and made myself a little Sunday treat.

To be perfectly honest with you, I thought this would be hard to make but it turned out to be one of the easiest cakes I've ever made. AND it tastes delicious. I mean, just look at that......

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

This time, I brought out my trusty electric mixer because I was feeling a bit lazy and an electric mixer just seems right for the job :)

CAKE:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cups sugar
• 1/2 cups sour cream
• 1/4 cups melted butter
• 1/4 cups water
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1 packet of cream-filled chocolate cookies, chopped (I used oreos)

CREAM:

• 3/4 cups whipping cream
• 2 tablespoon sugar

i) Heat oven to 180 degree celcius (Gas 4). Line a cake tin with aluminium foil.

ii) In a large bowl, beat all cake ingredients except cookies on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the bowl constantly. Beat 2 minutes on high speed. Stir in the chopped cookies. Pour into cake tin and bake for 30-35 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in the centre. Cool 10 minutes before transferring to cooling rack. Let the cake cool completely.

iii) While waiting for the cake to cool, beat whipping cream and sugar in a chilled bowl on high speed until it's a cream mixture instead of watery mixture. I'd say beat about 2-3 minutes. Spread over the cooled cake. Decorate with extra cookies.

I used some more chopped oreos and also some Kitkats to decorate because why not? :)

Voila!

 

Enjoy!
