Ooooo.....we are just 2 days away from Christmas! Can you believe it? I am so excited like everyone of you even though I'm not celebrating it. haha..... I know most of you are still rushing around for some last minute X'mas gifts or baking like crazy for the coming giveaways. And most of all, not to miss out the X'mas decorations! Well, still you need to slow down and take a deep breathe for a couple of minutes.....or you may take a few minutes to enjoy a slice or two of your own sweet bakes. I am actually extremely busy doing my year end housekeeping for the past few days. It was hard especially during this kind of season. It has been raining for one whole week already on and off. The weather is turning chill. So, I ended up ironing all the half dry clothing which has been hanging around for the past 2 days.And yet more laundry need to be done too! Yes, I definitely need a.......break.
Guess, you know what I had ! ha.....
Ingredients :
(A)
250gm butter
150gm dark chocolate, chopped
2 tbsp instant coffee powder
1 cup milk
1-1/2 cups sugar
(B)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tspn baking powder
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Method :
(1) melt ingredients (A) without boiling.
(2) transfer the melted mixture to a big bowl and leave to cool for 15 mins.
(3) then stir in ingredients (B) and mix well.
(4) pour batter to a 8" tray lined with parchment paper.
(5) bake at preheated oven 170'C for one hour & 30 mins.
Without hestitation, this round I placed the baking tray on the lower deck and slot in another tray over the top deck to minimize the direct heating from the top. Or you may cover the top with an aluminium foil and remove it later on.
Honestly, I at least need an hour of break to enjoy my sweet baked with a cup of white coffee. Don't be mistaken ! White Coffee isn't mean the coffee is white in colour but just the name for one of our local coffee. The coffee actually tastes quite similar to
cappuccino. Our local coffee has slightly different flavour compare to the western one. Maybe because of the way how they process the beans. However, do have fun and enjoy this festive season with laughter. And be blessed !
