French Chocolate Brownies

This weeks project was French Chocolate Brownies

I was not a big fan of Brownies but I decided to make this recipe anyway. I mixed the dry ingredients, The raisin flambe then melted the chocolate and butter then whisk the egg and sugar. To the egg and sugar mixture I added the chocolate then the dry ingredient it took exactly 50 minutes for the brownies to be ready and this recipe converted me into a big fan. It came out so moist it was delicious. Here are a few pictures of my delicious brownies.

Opera Cake

This month Daring Bakers' challenge was Opera Cake.

This is my first month with Daring Bakers and I was very excited about my first project.

I made la Joconde a day before and I had no problem with the recipe nor the outcome until I was ready to remove the parchement paper and it started sticking to the cake. After finally removing all the parchement paper I let the joconde cool down.

The next day I made the buttercream then the ganache I decided not to make the glaze because I was running out of time.

In the end I was very pleased with the final outcome.

This was a fun recipe to do can't wait for the next challenge.

Pecan Honey Sticky Buns

This week's was the Pecan Honey Sticky Buns

Since I am not a fan of Pecan I decided to substitute almonds for the pecans.

I had no problems with the dough it was not hard at all the only time consuming thing was waiting for the pieces of butter to completely melt before adding the next two pieces. My dough rose with no problem. After spending the night in the fridge the dough was a little tough but I molded it a little and it was no problem roling it out. I added the sugar and spice and up until now everything was fine. The problem I encounter was after I left the ought to rise in the pan it rose too much and my buns were alittle deformed. Also I think I left them in the oven a little too long but the end result came out to be very good.

Here are a few pictures of my buns.

Florida Pie

This weeks recipe was chosen by P&Q: Florida Pie

It was not hard to make at all and coconut is not one of my favorite ingredients but I decided to give it a try. My crust was left in the oven a little too long but that was not stopping me from completing this recipe. I had no other problem with the rest of the recipe until I had to brown the meringue in the oven and it got burned. I had to redo the meringue and re-brown it this time I did not leave it in too long because I did not want the same thing to happen again.

The final result turn out to be very appetizing.

Bill's Big Carrot Cake

TWD Bill’s Big Carrot Cake chosen by Amanda of slow like honey

This was a fun project since most of my family members loveeeee carrot cake... I don't usually add Shredded coconut and raisins but I decided to follow the recipe as is and boy was the result pleasant. The cake turned out to be very moist just like I love them and also not too sweet. The frosting was actually quite different than what I usually make adding the lemon juice gave the icing an extra pleasant taste. I will definitely add lemon juice to my icings from now on.

The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Crean Tart

The Most Extraordinary French Lemon Crean Tart chosen by Mary of Starting From Scratch.

This is my first time posting and this assignment was quite interesting for me.

I got most of my ingredients in the local Super Market. I started with the lemon cream my problem was that I did not have a way of checking the temperature but I followed the instructions and I think I got the cream to the correct consistency and color. My cream was refrigerated overnight and I thought the consistency was good but when I spread it on the crust I felt it was a little soft.

The crust was quite easy to make I managed to make it this morning before heading to work. Spend a good 10+ hours in the freezer and when I baked it, it came out just fine.

Since I did not refrigerate the tart after assembling and before serving I thought the cream consistency was a little soft but since my crust was still a little warm then I assume that is the reason why.

This was a fun project and the first time I tried a lemon cream tart and I quite like it.
