Walnut Brownie

It’s been quite a while since I have baked anything. For the past few weeks, I didn’t feel like baking anything, though my kids kept on poking me for a cake. Finally, last week I managed to bake this wonderful brownie, which I had seen on Nestle Milkmaid's FB account. The picture was quite tempting and I couldn't help myself from baking it.




Now, every time I set out to bake a brownie something goes wrong somewhere….Don’t know why!! But, always the end result would be just great….


This time also there was no exception; I finished preparing the batter and poured into the tin and was about to keep in the oven and suddenly the electricity goes off!! I waited for 1,2,3 hours and still there was no sign of power coming back…Finally after 4 hrs it came back and by the time I preheated the oven, there it went off again….*arrghhh*…I got so irritated…and by this time I lost hope in my brownie….Again I waited and after an hour or so, the power was back….With no much hope, I popped the tin into the oven and baked for 30 mins…..When the timer rang, I checked it and was shocked to see that there was no change in the batter; it was as it is!!!Again with no much hope decided to bake it for another 20-25 mins…..But, after 25 mins, viola! I was surprised to see the brownie in the desired shape; with the center well cooked and it sprang back when lightly pressed…..Like I said earlier, the end of a brownie baking is always a happy ending *smiles*...........



 Ingredients:
Recipe Source: Nestle Milkmaid Sweet Moments

Condensed Milk - 1/2 tin (200g)
Milk - 1/2 cup (75 ml)
Butter - 125 gm
Maida - 125 gm
Cocoa powder - 50 gm
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Sugar, powdered - 75 gm
Eggs - 2
Walnuts, chopped - 1/2 cup

Method:

  • Grease and dust the baking tin with maida. Preheat oven to 180 C.
  • Sieve together maida, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
  • Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
  • Fold in the sieved mixture, alternating with milk and condensed milk.

Now, who could resist a piece of brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream; topped with chopped walnuts and chocolate syrup!!! (my all-time favorite dessert)...yum, yum, yum.....makes me want some...so sad I didn't have ice-cream at home when I baked this!

Pansache Dhonas/ Jackfruit Cake

It's the season of jackfruit and you get to see lots of them in Kerala now. Last week, when I went home for a day, I brought back some jackfruits as my son loves them...... After everybody had their share, I had little left in the fridge and so decided to bake this Goan cake - Pansache Dhonas, which I had penned down from Raksha's Kitchen some months back. I would say this cake is definitely a healthy one as it uses no maida, sugar or butter.... The cake tasted quite different from the normal ones and it was indeed yummy! Ingredients: Recipe Source: Raksha's Kitchen Jackfruit pulp - 2 cups Grated coconut - 1 cup Salt - 1/2 tsp Rava - 1 cup Jaggery - 1 cup Cardamom powder - 2 tsps Cashewnuts, chopped - 10 Almonds, chopped - 5-10 Raisins - 10 Method: Roast rava till it is light brown or till the aroma wafts into the air. Keep aside. Let it cool for at least 20 mins. Remove the jackfruit seeds and put them into a mixer ...

Julekake- A Norwegian Cardamom Scented Christmas Bread

We Knead To Bake!  is a bread baking group on FB, hosted by  Aparna Balasubramanian  of My Diverse Kitchen . Though I had joined this group couple of months back, I haven't baked anything to date except for pizzas. Now, baking bread is not a child's play. So, I waited until I get to bake something easy. And this month's recipe proved to be the right one to bake for an amateur like me!! Julekake (or Julekaka/ Julekaga) is a rich holiday bread flavoured with cardamom which is traditionally served at Christmas in many Scandinavian countries. It is particularly popular in Norway and Denmark. Incidentally, Julekake means “Yule Bread” in Norwegian.  This bread is more cake-like in texture and sometimes it is dusted with powdered sugar or glazed with a white sugar icing. If it is not glazed or left plain, then it is usually served warm at breakfast with butter or a goat milk cheese called geitost/ brunost.  In Norway, Julekake traditionally only a...
