    MAKES A 2-LAYER, 8-INCH CAKE.

    ingredients:

    1 ½ cup (195 g) cake and pastry flour
    1 ⅓ cup (295 g) superfine (quick dissolve) sugar
    ½ cup (60 g) Dutch process cocoa powder
    ¾ tsp (4 g) baking soda
    ¼ tsp (2 g) salt
    ½ cup (115 g) cool, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
    ½ cup (125 ml) hot, strong brewed coffee
    ½ cup (125 ml) milk
    1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
    2 large large eggs, room temperature.
    INGREDIENTS FOR THE FUDGE FROSTING:
    12 oz (340 g) semisweet chocolate, chopped
    1 ¾ (425 ml) cup whipping cream
    ½ cup (125 ml) sour cream
    ½ (3 ml) tsp vanilla extract
    1 pinch salt

    BAKING DIRECTIONS FOR THE CAKE:

    1. For the cake, preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease 2 8-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment. Dust the sides of the pans with flour, tapping out any excess flour.
    2. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt into a large mixing bowl or into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter cutting it in (if in a large bowl, use electric beaters) until the mixture is a fine crumble (like the texture of fine breadcrumbs) and no large pieces of butter are visible.
    3. Stir the hot coffee, milk and vanilla together and add it all at once to the flour mixture, blending until smooth. Break the eggs into a small dish and stir them with a fork and then add them to the batter, again blending on medium speed just until smooth (the batter will be very fluid). Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and tap them on the counter to eliminate any bubbles.
    4. Bake the cakes for about 30 minutes, until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes for 20 minutes in their pans, then tip out onto a cooling rack to cool completely to room temperature. The cakes can be baked a day ahead, wrapped and stored at room temperature before frosting.

    DIRECTIONS FOR THE FUDGE FROSTING:

    1. For the frosting, place the chocolate and cream in a metal bowl and place it over a pot of barely simmering water. Stir the chocolate and cream occasionally and gently until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the sour cream, vanilla and salt. Let the mixture cool completely to room temperature, stir occasionally (you can chill the mixture for just a few minutes to start it setting, then let it continue to cool naturally at room temperature). Once cooled to a thicker consistency, whisk by hand to thicken just until spreadable consistency (do not whip vigorously or with electric beaters).
    2. Place the first cake layers on your serving plate and, if needed, trim the cake to level it. Spread a generous layer of the frosting over the top of the cake. Trim the second cake, if needed and place this on top of the first cake layer. Spread frosting over the top and then the sides of the cake, using swirling motion with your spatula to create a nice design. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours, or until ready to serve.
    3. The cake will keep, refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

This particular recipe takes chicken breasts to a whole new level by infusing them with the rich flavors of garlic, lemon, and cream. It’s a dish that’s perfect for both weeknight dinners and special occasions, and it’s surprisingly simple to prepare.

    Ingredients
    • 3 chicken breasts
    • Salt and black pepper to taste
    • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon of butter
    • 4-5 cloves of garlic
    • 1 onion
    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • 1 cup of chicken broth or water
    • 1 cup of milk cream
    • 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
    • Additional salt to taste

    Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s move on to the preparation.

    Preparation
    1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. This step ensures that your chicken breasts are well-seasoned and full of flavor.
    2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
    3. Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn a beautiful golden brown. This initial searing locks in the juices and gives the chicken a lovely texture.
    Cooking the Chicken Breasts
    1. After searing, remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and place them on a plate.
    2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and an additional tablespoon of butter. Sauté them until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is aromatic.
    3. Return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet.
    4. Pour in the lemon juice, chicken broth (or water), and milk cream. Season the sauce with nutmeg and a pinch of salt.

    Creating the Garlic and Lemon Sauce
    1. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the chicken breasts simmer in the creamy garlic and lemon sauce for 25 minutes. This slow cooking process allows the chicken to absorb all the delightful flavors.
    Bringing It All Together
    1. Once the chicken breasts are cooked to perfection, they should be tender and infused with the flavors of the sauce.
    2. Serve the chicken breasts hot, drizzled with the creamy garlic and lemon sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of parsley for an added touch of freshness and color.
    Serving Suggestions

    This Best Chicken Breast Recipe pairs wonderfully with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving it with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad. The creamy garlic and lemon sauce also makes an excellent topping for rice or pasta.

    Tips for Perfection
    • Make sure to adjust the cooking time according to the thickness of your chicken breasts. Thicker breasts may require a few extra minutes of cooking.
    • For an extra burst of flavor, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
    • Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the dish to your taste. Thyme, rosemary, or paprika can add an exciting twist.

    Prepare Cocoa Mixture:
    In a separate saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and butter. Heat this mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. Keep whisking until everything is smooth and the sugar dissolves completely. This creates the rich and chocolatey cookie binder.

    Make the Glaze:
    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and vegetable oil. Microwave the mixture in short 30-second intervals, stirring in between each time. Keep heating until all the chocolate is melted and smooth, creating a beautiful and glossy glaze.

    Glaze the Cookies:
    One by one, dip each cookie into the melted chocolate glaze to fully coat it. Alternatively, you can drizzle the glaze over the cookies for a more rustic look. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the glazed cookie back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Set the Cookies:
    Pop the baking sheet with your glazed cookies into the refrigerator and chill them for at least 30 minutes. This allows the chocolate glaze to harden and set completely.

    4 INGREDIENT LEMON CAKE (NO FLOUR, BUTTER OR OIL)

    4 INGREDIENT LEMON CAKE (NO FLOUR, BUTTER OR OIL)

    Table of Contents

    INGREDIENTS

    4 large eggs whites and yolks divided
    1 cup (227 g) granulated white sugar divided
    2/3 cup (102 g) potato starch
    2 packed tbsp (9 g) lemon zest

    INSTRUCTIONS:
    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray the interior of a 9-inch bundt cake pan with non-stick baking spray. Lightly dust the pan with potato starch and tap out any excess. Set aside. If flour is not an issue for you, you can also grease with a baking spray with flour like PAM baking spray with flour and then you don’t need to dust with potato starch.
    2. Add the egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the wire whisk attachment, beat at medium speed until the eggs are foamy. With the machine still running, slowly add 1/2 cup of the sugar (1 tbsp at a time). Increase speed to high and continue to beat until mixture is thick, glossy and stiff peaks form.
    3. Transfer the meringue to a clean bowl and set it aside.
    4. Add the egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar to the stand mixer bowl. Whisk at high speed until the mixture is very thick, has more than doubled in volume, about 4 minutes. When you lift the whisk, the mixture should ribbon down and hold its form on top of the mixture for several seconds before sinking in. See photo in post for reference.
    5. Sift the potato starch with a fine mesh strainer into the egg yolk mixture and mix with a spatula until evenly combined. It will be stiff and very thick.
    6. Add in 1/3 of the egg whites, gently folding the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites too much. Repeat with the next 1/3 and then the final 1/3 of egg whites.
    7. Sprinkle in the lemon zest and gently fold it in to the batter with your spatula just until it is evenly combined into the batter.
    8. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
    9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. When you apply light pressure to the surface it should feel firm and should not completely sink in.

    Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 20-30 minutes, or until cake and cake pan no longer feel to hot to touch. Then invert the cake onto a plate to cool completely. It is important that you unmold the cake from the cake pan after 20-30 minutes and not wait too long. If you wait for the cake to finish cooling, it will start to stick to the pan. If you unmold it after letting it cool only 20-30 minutes, it should slide out easily. In addition, I found that letting the cake cool fully on a plate with the crispy meringue layer on the bottom of the plate helps the meringue layer stick to the cake and not break off as easily when cutting the cake. When cake is finished cooling, you can decorate the cake before serving. I like serving with a dusting of powdered sugar or drizzling it with lemon icing. Use a large sharp knife to gently cut into the cake to serve.

    Table of Contents

    Desserts often get a bad rap for being indulgent and unhealthy. However, with the right ingredients and preparation, desserts can be both delicious and nutritious. This healthy slimming dessert combines wholesome ingredients like oatmeal, bananas, and cocoa to create a treat that satisfies your sweet tooth without derailing your diet goals. Let’s explore how to make it!

    Ingredients

    To whip up this healthy slimming dessert, you’ll need:

    • 120 g oatmeal
    • 250 ml warm milk
    • 2 bananas
    • 2 eggs
    • 4 tablespoons cocoa (45 g)
    • 1 tablespoon baking powder
    • 40 walnuts
    • 75 g dark chocolate
    Preparation Steps

    Let’s break down the preparation process into simple steps:

    1. Soaking Oatmeal

    Begin by pouring the oatmeal into a bowl and adding warm milk. Allow it to soak for 10 minutes, allowing the oatmeal to soften.

    2. Preparing Bananas

    While the oatmeal is soaking, peel the bananas and mash them using a fork. This will add natural sweetness and moisture to the dessert.

    3. Mixing Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the cocoa flavor.

    4. Beating Eggs

    Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until they are well beaten. This will help incorporate air into the eggs, resulting in a lighter texture for the dessert.

    Mixing the Ingredients

    Now that all the ingredients are prepared, it’s time to bring them together:

    1. Combining Oatmeal and Bananas

    Add the mashed bananas to the bowl of soaked oatmeal. Mix them together until well combined.

    2. Adding Cocoa Mixture

    Next, pour the cocoa and baking powder mixture into the oatmeal and banana mixture. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.

    3. Incorporating Eggs

    Gently fold the beaten eggs into the oatmeal mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the eggs and result in a denser dessert.

    Baking the Dessert

    Once the batter is ready, it’s time to bake:

    Preparing the Baking Dish

    Grease a baking dish with oil to prevent the dessert from sticking. Pour the batter into the dish and spread it out evenly.

    Adding Walnuts

    Sprinkle chopped walnuts over the top of the batter, adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to the dessert.

    Baking Process

    Place the baking dish in a preheated oven and bake at 180°C for approximately 40 minutes, or until the dessert is cooked through and golden brown on top.

    Adding Chocolate Topping

    To add a decadent finishing touch to the dessert:

    Melting Dark Chocolate

    Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it either in the microwave or using a water bath until smooth and glossy.

    Drizzling Chocolate

    Transfer the melted chocolate into a pastry bag and drizzle it over the baked dessert. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
