Chocolate orange Madeleines recipe (Magdalenas de naranja y chocolate)

 

And here we go again, winter begin here  and   on the northern hemisphere the summer , just take care, I heard that you will walk without a mask, I do not know, what I have learned that this  virus sometimes comes and goes.

In any case, we are still in quarantine here.

Today's recipe is orange and chocolate madeleines.

What can I say? My mom loved  madeleines

She told me that my Spanish grandmother always had madeleines  and scones there in Punta Arenas (very south of Chile) for tea time.

Finally our recipes and our kitchen is a compendium of our mothers and grandmothers and that is why we enjoy these recipes.

My granny  was married with a lovely English man so she received visits from many English ladies.

A hug to all who comes here and thanks!

Magdalenas de naranja y chocolate

Nota

Si bien hay moldes especiales para magdalenas en E bay  se puede usar moldes de muffins.

Los mejores y no tan caros son los de Ebay. Mercado Libre muy caro. Por ejemplo este de silicona es muy bueno y salia como 12.000 lo digo porque si alguien quiere comprar.

Y a veces el envio es barato o gratis.

Los moldes duran casi para siempre.

Ingredientes

3/4 taza de azucar

2 huevos

3 cucharadas de mantequilla temperatura ambiente

1 taza de harina sin polvos de hornear

2 cucharadas ralladura de naranja

1 cucharada de jugo de naranja natural

1 barra de chocolate amargo 60% cacao

Preparacion

Precalentar el hono a 180° c  (375° F)

Enmantequillar los moldes de magdalena o de muffins   y enharinar un poco para  cuando se agregue la masa el molde este listo.

En un bol batir los huevos,azucar y mantequilla hasta que la mezcla este liviana y cremosa, lo hago con una cuchara de palo.

Suavemente agregar la harina, la ralladura de naranja y el jugo de naranja, hasta que este bien mezclado.

Repartir con una cuchara la mezcla entre los moldes de magdalena que estan enmantequillados.

Llevar a horno y  hornear por unos 10 a 12 minutos, ver si estan dorados y secas estan listas. Se cocinan rápido.

Dejar enfriar las magdalenas unos 5 minutos y retirar suavemente con la punta de un cuchillo.

Mientras las magadalenas se enfrian derretir a fuego muy suave o en microondas, si es en microondas debe ser cada 15 segundo e ir probando debe estar cremoso y no recalentar.

Despues ir pasando las magdalenas por el chocolate, solo la punta y dejar en un plato para que se sequen.

Despues llevar al refrigerador por unos 10 minutos para que se enfrie el chocolate y estaran listas.

Dip the tops of the donuts into the chocolate glaze and place on a cooling rack to set.

You can garnish with some Christmas sprinkles.

NOTE : If you dont have a donut pan  you can use a muffins pan like this.

The first time I made baked donuts I didn't have a donuts pan and I use this idea.

From Taste of Home  from Jenna Urben

To transform a muffin pan into a doughnut pan you will need :

Muffin pan

Aluminium foil

Cooking spray or oil

Take a square piece of foil and place ir over of your fingers.

It needs to be large enough to cover the bottom of each cup in the muffin tin.

5" x 5" square works ok.

Fold the foil around your finger gently folding the sides up, to create a mold.

Place into the cup of your muffin tin and press into place. Repeat for remaining cups

Mini chocolate Bundt cake recipe ( Mini Bundt cakes de chocolate)

 

This post is about bundt cakes and chocolate, I haven't made something with chocolate in a long time.

Although I love chocolate, what I like the most is making recipes with fruits, especially berries.

As I always took time choosing the recipe, nothing is accidental, I see something and say I have to do it and that is where everything begins, in this time I have read a lot of recipes and books.

Then I prepare everything and make some changes and finally see what dishes I would like for the photos. Oh, it is a long process until I take the photos.

I see it as a process that takes time, dedication and a lot of love.
I like the mini bundt cakes because I like the small portions, I had seen several recipes and finally I stayed with this one.

Very good recipe,  and I hope you enjoy it too, a hug for all

and thanks to be there,   Gloria

Frozen Tiramisu cheescakes (Tiramisu cheescakes)

Sometimes I think that time passes too fast, the weeks fly by, and I really couldn't make the post for this recipe that I made for Father's Day.

I only comment this because there are people who get bored at home, I have worked more than ever and I have cooked more than ever with everyone here.

Suddenly I get lost and I think we are in May? not in June !! that's been crazy sometimes. .

Turning to the recipe, I loved these tiramisu and are very easy  you can use a cup (or a mould) to make them.

And you arrange sponge fingers around the side of each prepared cup or mould.
I hope to see you later in a new recipe.
A big hug from here and thanks by coming!

Chocolate brownie muffins ( brownies /muffins de chocolate)

I had several recipes ready but it took me some time  start the posts, honestly it's hard  think what to talk about, maybe from here? of the current situation, of sorrows and distress, or  about Christmas that is so close and I love Christmas?

Although I am not normally depressed, it is hard to keep the spirit when you watch the news, when there are fires, looting and other things, how did this come about? I dont know.

Apart from praying, reading and baking (catharsis) I try to think about Christmas. Even in the most difficult times people celebrate Christmas, and I believe in God and the birth of Jesus, so I will try to take care of the Christmas spirit.

Well, apart from continuing to make jams (apricots are maturing) and I don't like to bury the fruit so that's what I'm in.
This recipe for "Brownie muffins" has the best of everything, it is a muffin with the taste of a brownie.

Thank you all for your mails, love and concern, hugs and  kisses to all !

To make the brownies 
In a medium heatproof bowl, place chocolate and butter. Heat mixture in the microwave in 20 seconds intervals, stirring between each interval until melted. Alternatively, you can set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.

Divide batter between liners, filling them about 3/4 full.

Chocolate cherry bundt cake (Cake de chocolate y cerezas)

A few days ago it was my birthday and I wanted to do something small but delicious because it is always good to celebrate life.

The best thing was fine  to me  do it (although I'm better off on my arm)
You can use fresh or frozen cherries . I know in many sites you are lucky to have fresh cherries!
We are in winter, but always try to freeze some cherries !

Mine were frozen and it was delicious.

I share them as always with much love!

Matcha moss chocolate Easter cakes (Cupcakes de chocolate con té matcha )

I  prepared this recipe especially to celebrate Easter,  and adapt this recipe from Thirsty for Tea (a beautiful blog)because her recipe to make the moss is wonderful (matcha).

 I wanted to use chocolate bunnies but there were only big ones. Finally I made cookies with a bunny shape but you can use whatever you want.
 I saw many moss recipes but this one was the best, with green tea, ground flax seeds and coconut. Delicious and healthy
And finally for garnish I used Rose buds petals (dried)
Usually are for tea but are beauty and edible.

The recipe for chocolate cakes is for 6 (for me Ok) but you can double the amount if you want more.
I wish everyone a Happy and blessed Easter to all!
