I am desperately trying to teach myself to bake, so that my little lady can learn too! The other day we decided to bake Raisin Cookies together! It was my first time making them. I don’t want to blow my own trumpet but I was so proud with the outcome! Team work is the key! I have popped the recipe here for you to have a go, if you would like to!

INGREDIENTS 

​260 grams plain flour
2 tea sp
oons of baking powder
¼ tea spoon of salt
170g unsalted butter at room temp
200g of light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tea spoon of vanilla extract
2-4 tablespoons of milk
125g seedless raisins

method

​Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (some ovens may vary)
Step 2: Butter two large baking trays
Step 3: Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl
Step 4: In a different bowl mix the butter until it is light and creamy, using an electric whisk.
Step 5: Add the sugar and mix until the consistency is light and fluffy
Step 6: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract, then add the separate bowl of flour and mix well.
Step 7: Add the right amount of milk to make the mixture soft.
Step 8: Add the raisins and mix until combined.
Step 9: For each cookie you only need one mounted tea spoon of mixture. Pop it on to the baking tray, leaving about a 4cm space between each one.
Step 10: Bake the cookies for about 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown, and the tops are soft.
Step 11: Carefully remove the cookies onto a cooling rack. Leave to cool.
Step 12: Eat and enjoy!

Raspberry and Banana Cake Recipe

7/31/2019

0 Comments

 
There is no secret, I absolutely love banana cake! I thought I would have a go at jazzing up the traditional banana cake recipe, by adding some fresh Raspberries into the mix! It works a treat, the sharp flavour of the Raspberries are a fab balance on the taste buds. I have popped the ingredients and method below so you can have a go!
​

Ingredients:

150g butter
200g sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 large ripe bananas, peeled and mashed
240g self-raising flour
120ml milk
75g/100g of fresh raspberries
A pinch of salt

Method:

​Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 180c. Grease your loaf tin with butter, using tin foil.

Step 2:
Using an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar until it becomes a nice light colour. Add the eggs. I pop them into a cup first and add them in batches, beating well after each addition.

Step 3:
Stir in the mashed banana. Sift the flour over the banana mix. Add the milk and a pinch of salt. Fold with a spoon until the mix is combined. Carefully then fold in the fresh raspberries.

Step 4:
Spoon the mixture into your greased loaf tin. Bake for about an hour (all ovens vary), or until a skewer inserted into the centre of your loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10/15 minutes. Then remove onto a wire rack and let the loaf cool completely before eating.

Happy making KX
