My First Recipe

Christmas!!!

Ginger Bread house!!

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and baking soda together until the mixture is smooth. Blend in the flour and water to make a stiff dough. Chill at least 30 minutes or until firm.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Cut out the following paper patterns for the gingerbread house template: .Two rectangles, 3 by 5 inches, to make the front and back of the house. Two rectangles, 3 by 5 1/2 inches for the roof. Two pieces for the ends of the house, 3 inches wide at the base, 3 inches to the roof line, and slanted to a peak 5 1/2 inches from the bottom. Four smaller rectangles, 1 1/2 by 1 inch for the roof and sides of the entryway. And one piece, 2 inches wide at the base, 1 1/2 inches to the roof line, and slanted to a peak 2 1/2 inches from the bottom for the front of the entryway. Roll gingerbread dough out to edges on a large, rimless cookie sheet.

Directions

Place paper patterns onto the rolled out dough. With a sharp, straight edged knife, cut around each of the pieces, but leave pieces in place.  Bake at 375 degrees F for about 15 minutes until dough feels firm.  Place patterns on top of the gingerbread again and trim shapes, cutting edges with a straight-edged sharp knife. Leave to cool on baking sheet.  Place royal icing into pastry bag with a writing tip and press out to decorate individual parts of house, piping on decorations, windows, door, etc., as desired. Let dry until hardened. Glue sides, front and back of house together at corners using royal icing. Place an object against the pieces to prop up until icing is dry (it only takes a few minutes).  Glue the two roof pieces to the pitched roof line of the house. Then, similarly, glue the sides and roof of the entryway together with icing. Attach the entryway to the front of the house

LAZY DAY!!!!

Double-Chocolate Layer Cake

Step 1- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons each of the flour and cocoa powder. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Butter the paper and dust the pans with the cocoa-flour mixture, tapping out the excess.

Step 2- In a medium bowl, whisk the 2 cups of flour and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar, and the baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Step 3- In the bowl of a standing electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the eggs with the brown sugar and the remaining 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar at medium-high speed until thickened, about 5 minutes. At medium speed, gradually add 1/2 cup of the oil and beat for 3 minutes.(Continued on the next page)

Beat in the melted chocolate, then add the remaining oil in a thin stream, until thoroughly blended, scraping the side and bottom of the bowl. At low speed, beat in the buttermilk and vanilla. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently mix in the dry ingredients by hand.

STEP 4 - Pour the cake batter into the prepared pans and bake in the center of the oven for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the centers of the cakes comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Cool the cakes in the pans for 20 minutes, then invert them onto a rack to cool completely. Peel off the parchment paper.

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
