Cupcakes full of Orange!!!!

Hello my friends!!!

I think I am in love with cupcakes! To be honest I've always enjoyed them but I thought they were really hard to bake. But when almost every week I see a delicious recipe and amazing photos in my friend's Natasa's blog, then it is really hard to not try them. So because of my princess birthday I tried to cook a couple of different recipes and I was really surprised when I realized that it was easy to make them and easier to eat them…. Yeap… none left!

So my first attempt to cook a orange filled cupcake is here!

What will you need:

For the Cupcakes

1/2 cup butter

2/3 cup white sugar
3 eggs

1 dash of salt 
50 ml fresh milk

1/2 teaspoon orange icing 
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

80-100gr dried fruits

For the orange icing

180gr cheese cream

140gr fine flour sugar

1 teaspoon orange shaving

The procedure is the usual… in a bowl mix the butter and the sugar and add the eggs one by one until the mix becomes homogeneous.

Add the milk, the orange shavings and keep mixing.

In another small bowl mingle the flour, the baking powder and the salt and add it in the above mixture.

Stop using the mixer, add the dried fruits and keep mixing it for a while with scoop. Your mix is ready. Cook it in a preheat oven in 170 degrees C for about 20min.

When the cupcakes are ready, just mix in a bowl the ingredients for the icing and leave it in the refrigerator for about 15min.  Υou are ready to  décor your small, delicious cakes.

Buon Appetite!

Lemon Yoghurt Dessert

Hello my friends!!!

It was about time to be back In my blog, but to be honest I will not be really active as I was before due to real life issues. I will try to update it with new interested (as always) posts, but not as often as before. Hopefully in a month I will be back “in business”!

So today I would like to share with you a delicious recipe, really fast to make it and really easy. What will you need? Only four materials and 10min of your time. And I promise the result is really yummy and perfect for those who love to eat something refreshing during Summer or people who do not love chocolate or to sweat desserts!

So… what will you need:

-     - 1kgr yoghurt  (I prefer drained yoghurt)

-     - 2 lemons ( juice from 2 lemons and shavings from 1 lemon)

-     - 1 box of biscuits ( I like Digestive)

-     - 1 box of condensed milk

In a small baking pan or a bowl  crumble the biscuits.

In a bowl add the condensed milk and mix it with the lemon juice and the lemon shavings.

Add the crème above your biscuits and put the bowl/pan into the refrigerator for almost 30min.

Your dessert is ready to enjoy it!!!! If you wish it to be more intense, just use more lemon!

Buone Appetite!!!
