| Saturdays for us is a lazy, quiet day of rest after working all week. We take it easy and lock ourselves away from the italian world by staying in our apartment for most of the day, watching movies and doing all the other time passing stuff we like to do. I decided that Saturdays will be my new baking days! So here is the first installment of Saturday baking |

Marble choc-vanilla cupcakes Heat oven to 180c Cream: ¾ cup sugar and ¼ cup butter Beat in 2 eggs Beat dry: (1 cup flour, ¾ tsp baking powder, Pinch salt) into wet alternating with 1/3 cup buttermilk Mix in bowl Halve mixture, In a cup mix ¼ cup cocoa powder and 4 tbsp stong espresso (or strong coffee, already made) Mix it into one half of the mixture Wait for gas oven to heat up! unless you are blessed with a magical electric oven! At the last minute, gradually fill cupcake cases, alternating between teaspoonfuls of chocolate and vanilla mixture. Swirl a spoon around in each cupcake case or leave as is to have a layered effect. Allow to cool and ice with buttercream chocolate espresso icing. |
