My Blackforest Cake!!
So i got really bored the other day and i decided to make a blackforest cake!!! Also i should say this is Derek C and ive been the blogger over all over the posts so far im sure my other half will eventually post otherwise ill just change this to baking with Derek :P :P!!!!
Was joking the other day with a friend and we where saying that myself and Derek S must be eating so much sugary foods and that the blog may have to be changed to Baking with the Diabetic Dereks :P :P!!! Well i just wana say that yeah we do bake all the time but ive changed my eating habbits and eat a much healthier diet which is starting to show as ive lost near a stone now this year! When we do bake i dont tell myself i cant have some cookies or cake i just have smaller portions! Its working for me so far so gonna keep it up :D!!! So although i think Baking with the Diabetic Dereks sounds funny i dont think its gonna happen haha!!!
Anyways so wanted to make this Blackforest cake when i was bored i had NO idea where to start but i new theres chocolate sponge cake, cherries and cream so i looked up a few recipes on the internet alot of them where just way to complicated so i ended up going at it by myself and i think it turned out alright!!
So here we go Ingredients:
6 Eggs
Self Raising Flour
Margarine
Caster Sugar
200g Cocoa Powder
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1 Can Pitted Black Cherries in syrup
500ml Fresh whipping cream
100g icing sugar
100g milk choc
Other stuffs you might wana grab:
2 round spring form baking tins (I only have 1, would be quicker if youve 2 the same size)
Electric Mixer
Pallet Knife
Large Mixing Bowl
Weighing Scales
Cheese Grater
And maybe an oven :P
For the Sponge:
Preheat your oven to 180c.
Weigh out the 6 eggs (in their shell) then whatever weight the eggs are weigh the margarine, caster sugar and flour out to the same weight (if the eggs weigh 400 the rest need to weigh 400 each).
Mix the Margarine and the sugar together in your mixing bowl until the mixture gets nice and creamy.
Next break all the eggs into the mixture, add the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.
Mix everything together trying to get as much air into the mixture as possible.
When fully combined the mixture should be of dropping consistency (i.e when spooned up the mixture should be able to drop off the spoon without any force being used) add some milk or flour if neccessary.
Now divide the mixture between your evenly between your two baking tins if youve only 1 this will take longer, as youll have to bake the sponges separately. Put your tins or tin in the oven and back for around 25 - 30 mins. Don't open the mixture before 20 mins as this might knock all the air from your mixture (flat cakes then) To check if the cake is fully cooked insert a long sharp knife into the centre of the cake if it comes out clean theyre done :D!!! If they dont just keep going i suppose!
Leave them aside to cool.
While theyre cooling you can go clean your large mixing bowl and get ready to use it again for the cream. Once your bowl is clean open up that can of cherries and strain away half of the liquid and leave the cherries in the remainder of the liquid in a bowl until ready to use in a while!
Now back to the cream pour the cream into your mixing bowl along with the icing sugar and get whipping (if your doing this by hand it will take some time so just keep going) if your doing it with an electric mixer should take about 5 minutes. Once done leave to cool in the refrigerator until your ready to use it.
Now get your grater and your choc and grate all that choc up, set aside to be used for the finishing off of the cake.
So now take your sponges out of the baking tins. if they arnt fully cooled yet just leave them to cool on separate plates.
You can now pour the remainder of your cherry syrup over your two sponge cakes!! This will make them taste yum and keep them moist.
Now choose which sponge will be your base and layer half of the cherries all around the top of this layer, Cover with 1/3 of the whipped cream then sit your next sponge on top.
Now get your pallet knife and spread the remainder 2/3's of the cream all over the top and sides of the assembled sponges smoothing out flat with the pallet knife.
Decorate on top with your cherries and on the sides of the cake use your grated chocolate!
Heres a picture, tasted ok im sure it will taste better next time i make it... If ive any changes to be made ill post them soon :D!!!

M&M Cookies and Tennis!!!! Great Combo :P
Well last night the Australian Open started! For those of you who don't know im a HUGE tennis fan and the Australian Open is one out of Four Major Tournaments in the Tennis Calender!! So myself and my two friends went over to one of their houses and we decided to watch the tennis together... got proper dedicated in that we had 3 matches going on our laptops and the tv... obsessed much?? eh YEAH!!!!! Now as the tennis is in Australia and we're in Ireland the tennis was on live at midnight for us, so i decided that we'd need some sugary goodness to keep us awake and this is where M&M cookies came from!! Now i know these have been done before and i'm not the first person in the world to do them but it was my first time to make them. So heres how to give them a go!
Ingredients:
130g Unsalted Butter
200g Soft Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon Milk
210g Plain Flour
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
150g M&Ms (I used the crispy M&Ms)
Extras:
Large Mixing Bowl
Electric Mixers
Mixing Spoon (i use a rubber one)
Sieve
Baking Paper
Baking Tray
How to Make:
Preheat your oven to 180c, Line your Baking Tray with your baking paper.
Cream the butter and sugar together until fully combined... Takes a while keep going at it, It will kind of form together into balls first then it all gradually joins together.
Next add in your Vanilla and your egg and mix again until fully combined add in the milk and stir with your mixing spoon to combine.
Sift in the Flour and Baking Powder.
With the M&Ms i put in half of the bag full and then i crushed the other half of the bag and put them in.
Mix together with your mixing spoon (as i said i use a rubber one a wooden on is fine) this will take some time, just be patient the dough will come together.
Shape Tablespoons of the dough into balls, place on your baking paper. This should make between 15-20 cookies depending on how big you make them. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges.
Once done allow to cool for a minute or two an then transfer onto a wire rack.
Thats it!!!!! Now i forgot to take a picture :( i was just waaaay to busy eating them) I'll make sure i put up a photo when i make them again
For now these are pics i found on google!!! This is similar to how the dough looked >>>>ihttp://farm3.static.flickr.com/2463/3613183628_e4b6a56250.jpg
And this is similar to how the cookies looked >>>>>>http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4081/4922823132_abb54b7b25.jpg

Chocolate Orange Cake
Well our friend is off out of the country so we've decided to bake her a cake!!! A chocolate orange cake!!! Well a three tiered choc orange cake haha!!
So firstly to make the sponge part of the cake you need these
Ingredients:
3 Eggs
Self Raisin Flour
Margarine
Caster Sugar
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
100g Cocoa Powder
1 Teaspoon Orange Essence
50 Ml Milk
To Measure out the Ingredients weigh the Eggs, whatever the eggs weigh measure the Flour, Sugar and Margarine to the same weight (so if the eggs weigh 200g measure the flour, sugar and margarine to 200g)
This will make one Normal Sized Cake but because we made a 3 tiered one we made this same batter again for the other two tiers and because they were smaller the second batter worked fine for two more tiers.
For The Buttercream icing you'll need these
Ingredients:
150g Unsalted Butter
Icing Sugar
Cocoa Powder
Few Drops Orange Essence
Extra things you may need:
Large Mixing Bowl
Medium Mixing Bowl
Electric Mixer
Spatula
Palet Knife
10" Round baking tin (we generally use our spring form tin) I suppose you could make a square cake if you have a square tin!!!
To make the Sponge Cake
Beat the margarine and sugar in a large mixing bowl using your electric mixer. Keep going until the mixture is creamy.
Next Break the 3 eggs into the mixture, add the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, orange essence and milk.
Mix all the ingredients together until everything is combined.
The mixture when fully combined should be able to when lifted with a spoon just drop back into the bowl without any force being used.
Get your spatula now and slowly spoon out the mixture into your baking tin, i like to use a spatula because you can really scrape out every last drop of the mixture!! Level out the mixture and pop it in your pre heated oven for 20-25 mins or until the cake is fully cooked. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of your baking tin and oven so just keep an eye on it!
A small tip is to insert a sharp knife sideways into the centre of the cake if it comes out clean your cake is done :D!!!
Now we made a 3 tiered cake so to make the other two tiers use the same ingredients again and the same instructions again but you'll need two smaller baking tins for this and then when you have the mixture made just spoon out the mixture between the two tins. The smaller tins will cook a little bit quicker so just keep an eye on them.
Now this is the three tiers before i assembled them.. i will admit that i had a few little problems... im very impatient and didnt wait for the two larger ones to cool properly and they broke when i was taking them outta the tin!!! But sure it was grand pieced them back together and they get covered in icing anyways!!!!
So to make the icing:
Ingredients:
100g unslated butter
Cocoa
Icing Sugar
1teaspoon Orange Essence
Now this is nice and easy make sure the butter is soft your going to beat together the butter icing sugar, cocoa powder and the orange essence.
Use as much Icing sugar and cocoa powder as you want... i find its all about how sweet you like your icing, i use just enough so the butter taste is gone! Anyway keep mixing until its a nice creamy icing!!
Now that makes enough icing to cover one cake... Double that to make enough icing for the three tiers if you going for that!
Lastly we needed to put our three tiers together just sit them on top of each other making sure theyre centered.
Icing is easy enough if you have a palet knife i tried it once with just a normal spoon... mistake!!! it looked sooo bad!!! but it's great with a palet knife. So just spread the icing around lightly and evenly!! I get very bored doing this so i tend not to leave it perfect!! and last night I had literally 5 minutes to ice this cake... Didn't do to badly!!! We got some Orange Jellys then and decorated around the edges!!
So this is the finished products
Thats the two pics i took of it!! You can see that the cake started in the middle of the silver cake plate but as i was driving over to my friends it slid nearly off it!!! My Fault!!!! I took some corners to fast for a cake!! Woops!!!
It was YUMMY!!!! our friend who's leaving LOVED it!!!! So it was nice to give her a treat before she heads off!!!
Anyways!! If you read the blog from start to finish good look to ya haha!!! This is a long enough entry!!! But seriously this recipe is SOOOOOOO easy!!!! Takes bout 2 hours to make the 3 tiered one... but like an hour would do for a normal sized one!!
Any questions about anything! Or if you feel i left any stages out leave me a comment :D!!!
