Veske kake

Dette var et skikkelig "fort og gæli" prosjekt. Vi reiser jo nordover snart, så ingen vits å bruke lang tid på ei kake som blir ødelagt. Poenget med å bake den i hele tatt var å se hva jeg kunne få til om jeg gjorde det kjapt og uten mye planlegging. Dermed kan jeg jo regne med at jeg kan få det bedre til på ei kake jeg bruker god tid på.

Denne kaka ble soggy og skjev, og kantene er ikke godt satt sammen, målene er ikke tatt ordentlig, så den er litt sånn på halv tolv. Men! - min første veske-kake er iaf gjort, og man ser jo hva det skal forestille, sant?! :D Ikke smakt den enda. =P Hva den smaker kan jeg enda ikke si noe om. Uansett, så er oppskriften en annen enn den jeg vanligvis bruker, fordi den hadde færre ingredienser og var lettere å hive sammen. ^^ Neste gang skal den bli finere og i tillegg gå å spise! Det er iaf målet!



In short; purse-cake! My first. ^^ Its made quick and very wrong, just as a first attempt to see if its do-able for me at all - and i think it is! Next time it will be better! Or very similar, only good to eat as well. =P (havent tasted this one yet)

Much better than bread!

I'm not all that fond of bread, so lately I've been baking what we call "rundstykker". I don't really know the english word, but lets call them breakfast buns! These aren't really any fun to make, but it is so much better then bread, especially bought bread. Also it feels like there is more food in these than the types of bread we've tried.

Makes it easier to take something small to eat during the day as well. I have a tendensy to just not eat if there is nothing slightly tempting to find. so; problem solved! ^^ They are really good! Who needs bread anyways?

Chocolate muffins and sugarpaste

Baked twice now since the last entry.

First I tried out my mini cake mold. The recipe was reduced quite a bit, and it was reduced to a perfect amount too, so yay! Made a chocolate cake, and I wanted to try out sugarpaste (for the first time) to have on top. Since it was my first try it didnt turn out perfectly, but it went ok. Tried doing everything I've read i should do, but I still found it to stick to the table, and crumbs from the cake sneaked its way in there, and it seemed to crack up a bit as I worked with it. So a lot of work, but thats probably just cause I hadnt ever done it before. So hopefully with a bit of practice I will do better eventually. Between the cake and the sugarpaste I had butter cream.


The cake was tasty, but the decorating needs a lot of practice. And since the practice mold is so small, we wont end up with massive amounts of cake that we wont be able to eat either. ^^


Yesterday (monday) I baked chocolate muffins! Ante helped me. These where chocolate muffins, with chocolate frosting and home made roses and leaves as decoration. =P Those where made in marzipan. Was the first time ever I tried making flowers as well, so it was less then perfect. Hehe. ^^ And they couldn't get too big either since they were gonna be on muffins and not a cake. It was fun to have tried it out tho, and I will try it again!



There were yummie! I did tho realise that i need to by a muffin plate thingy, to put the muffin cups into when baking them. This is to prevent them from widening too much from the weight of the mixture. Took about an hour to make and bake the muffins.

But in short; I am really pleased with the results!

Guest entry by: Ante

My cake obsession is catching on! At least rubbing off a bit. ^^ Ante decided he wanted to bake me a cake :D Kladd-kaka, as it is called here. Its a chocolate cake , which is supposed to be a bit sticky in the middle. =) And you serve it with wipped cream. None of us had made it before, so we werent entirely sure what to do and how. There was a bit of a rocky start, but it got better.


Here you can see my windrider cub watching over it. ^^

It tasted good. =) Tho we should have let it be in the ovn longer, so thats something to remember for next time. A bit too "kladdy", but thats what this blog is all about; getting better at baking! :D And also; how sweet isnt it that he wanted to bake me a cake?! =)

Changed the blog adress

The blog adress has been changed to: http://my-baking-adventure.blogspot.com/
Just so everyone is aware. ^^

Cinnamon rolls

Another day, another opportunity to bake. Today cinnamon rolls was on the menu. Ante had mentioned he liked them, so i figured i would bake some. Took a bit of time. Making the dough, letting it rise to dobble size, rolling them out, letting rise again, and then baking for 10-15 minutes. Both "rising" times was for about 1 hour.


I am really pleased with the result, even tho they got a bit big. ^^



Mmmm.. Tasty!

Banana muffin

To try out my new muffin-tree thing, and to do some baking, and because its good me and Henriette made muffins! The choice landed on banana muffins.

Recipe:
100 g margaring/smør (butter)
2 1/4 dl sukker (sugar)
3 bananer
2 egg
3 3/4 dl hv.mel. (flour)
1 1/2 ts natron (baking soda)
1 ts bakepulver (baking powder)
2 ts vaniljesukker (vanilla)
1 dl. melk (milk)

1. Sett ovnen på 175 grader.
1. Preheat the ovn up to 175 °C ( ~350 °F).

2. Rør margarin og sukker hvitt. Tilsett eggene, ett av gangen og deretter de mosede bananene.
2. Mix butter and sugar till its nice and white. Add eggs, one at the time, and then the mashed bananas.

3. Bland mel, natron, bakepulver og vaniljesukker og rør det inn i eggeblandingen. Tilslutt blandes melken inn.
3.Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla, and add it to the mixture. Add the milk last.

The "decoration" was made with buttercream and a decoration bag. Had to try that out too. ^^
