Print Pin Rate
Course: Dessert
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Cooling: 10 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 977kcal

Ingredients

Cake

  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 200 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 4 eggs large
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Chocolate Fudge Frosting

  • 200 g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
  • 200 g unsalted butter
  • 200 g icing sugar (powdered sugar)
  • 2-3 tbsp milk (as needed)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 20cm (8-inch) round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt the 200g of dark chocolate and unsalted butter together. You can do this by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) or by microwaving in short bursts, stirring between each burst until fully melted. Let it cool slightly.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously until smooth.
  • In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Divide the batter equally between the two prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate fudge frosting. In a heatproof bowl, melt the remaining 200g of dark chocolate and unsalted butter together using the same method as before. Let it cool slightly.
  • Gradually sift in the icing sugar into the chocolate and butter mixture, stirring until well combined. If the frosting is too thick, you can add a few tablespoons of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of the chocolate fudge frosting on top of one of the cakes. Place the second cake on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
  • You can decorate the cake with additional chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or other toppings of your choice.
  • Slice and enjoy your delicious chocolate fudge cake!
    This recipe should yield a moist and decadent chocolate fudge cake that's perfect for any occasion.

Course: Dessert
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Refrigerate: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Servings: 8 people
Calories: 827kcal

Ingredients

Cake

  • 200 g unsalted butter softened
  • 200 g white chocolate chopped
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs large
  • zest of 2 lemons
  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 100 ml milk

Lemon Curd Filling

  • juice of 2 lemons
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs large
  • 50 g unsalted butter cubed

White Chocolate Ganache

  • 200 g white chocolate chopped
  • 100 ml heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Set it aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the lemon zest.
  • Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture and fold it in gently.
  • Stir in the melted white chocolate and milk until you have a smooth cake batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • While the cakes are baking, prepare the lemon curd filling. In a saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, lemon zest, granulated sugar, and eggs. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in the cubed butter until smooth. Let it cool.
  • When the cakes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cakes and lemon curd are completely cool, prepare the white chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  • To assemble the cake, place one of the cake layers on a serving plate. Spread a layer of lemon curd over the top.
  • Place the second cake layer on top and pour the white chocolate ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  • Decorate as desired, perhaps with some lemon zest or white chocolate shavings.
  • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the ganache before serving.
    Enjoy your delicious white chocolate lemon cake!

Corn dogs

Print Pin Rate
Course: Snack
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 8 people
Calories: 284kcal

Ingredients

Batter

  • 150 g cornmeal
  • 150 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 240 ml milk
  • 1 egg large

Corn Dogs

  • 8 hot dogs
  • 8 wooden skewers
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  • Insert wooden skewers into each hot dog, leaving about 2-3 cm (1 inch) exposed at one end. This will make them easier to dip and fry.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The batter should be smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Fill a deep frying pan or a pot with enough oil to submerge the corn dogs. Heat the oil to 180°C (350°F).
  • Dip each hot dog into the batter, swirling it around to coat evenly. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
  • Carefully place the coated hot dogs into the hot oil, one or two at a time, depending on the size of your frying vessel. Be cautious not to overcrowd the pan.
  • Fry the corn dogs for about 3-4 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the corn dogs from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  • Serve your homemade corn dogs with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce.
    Enjoy your homemade corn dogs!

Course: Dessert
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Refrigerate: 30 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 8 slices
Calories: 449kcal

Ingredients

Pastry Crust

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 125 g unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • a pinch of salt

Filling

  • 3 cups milk (750 ml)
  • 3 eggs large
  • 125 g granulated sugar
  • 50 g cornstarch
  • 50 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt
  • ground cinnamon for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Pastry Crust

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour and use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add the sugar and mix it into the flour mixture.
  • Beat the egg and add it to the mixture. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little cold water, a tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
  • Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Filling

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk and cinnamon stick over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. Remove the cinnamon stick and discard it.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and flour until smooth.
  • Gradually pour the hot milk into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
  • Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Assemble

  • Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a floured surface to fit a tart tin (about 23 cm or 9 inches in diameter). Line the tart tin with the pastry, trimming any excess.
  • Pour the prepared filling into the pastry crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
  • Allow the milk tart to cool to room temperature before refrigerating for a few hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, dust the top of the tart with ground cinnamon if desired.
    Enjoy your delicious South African Milk Tart!

Ingredients

Cake

  • 250 all-purpose flour
  • 250 granulated sugar
  • 250 unsalted butter softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup whole milk

Frosting (optional):

  • 250 g unsalted butter softened
  • 500 g powdered sugar (icing sugar)
  • 2 vanilla extract
  • 2-4 milk as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 20cm (8-inch) round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the cake batter equally between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • If you're making frosting, in a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Once the cakes are completely cool, you can frost them. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top of that. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
  • Decorate the cake as desired with sprinkles, fruit, or additional decorations.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade vanilla cake!
    Feel free to customize the frosting or add fillings as you like. Enjoy your delicious vanilla cake!
