ok so the time will pass

Yup

 

[Luvchefmic]

have a great night !

 

[DisneyFirefly]

You too!

 

[PrincessInOz]

I have to go back some cupcakes for my son to take to school tomorrow. But I'll be here....and there!

Hope you are well.

When will you have the chance to speak to your supervisor about your cow worker?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I'd called her at 10pm to let her know that we finally got a hold of her (we weren't even sure if she was going to show up or not), but I'm leaving it alone now. Whatever they want to do or not do is up to them.



I hope the cupcakes turn out good!

 

[PrincessInOz]

So do I. I'm gonna try a new recipe....nothing like using the kids as guinea pigs!

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I have no kids, so I use my parents as guinea pigs for baking recipes

 

[PrincessInOz]

Okay.
One batch in the oven. Need to pull it out in about 18 - 20 minutes. So, if I post, I'll have a benchmark (I have a timer on the oven but I never use it)....

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Good idea!

 

[PrincessInOz]

Ooohh...I just read some of the user posts for the online recipe. Looks like I need to check them in about 13 minutes because I'm making mini cupcakes; not the full blown adult sized ones...

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Yeah, those'll cook faster than a regular sized cupcake. There's not much to them, so it takes less time

 

[PrincessInOz]

Just checked....a couple more minutes.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I think I may bake tomorrow after I leave the dentist, depending on what they do... Not sure what I'd bake, though.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Next batch just went in....13 - 15 minutes from now.

What would you like to cook/bake...sweet or savoury?

 

[DisneyFirefly]

I'm not sure... Probably something sweet. I have a major sweet tooth

 

[PrincessInOz]

What about after the dentist? Still want to cook something sweet? Do you like Raspberries and can you get either the frozen or fresh variety tomorrow? I have a raspberry slice/cake that combines tart and sweet together.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Our backyard gets almost taken over by raspberry bushes every summer I don't know how they're doing this year, though. I may not even bake anything except jello for all I know. It depends on how I'm feeling.

Raspberry Swirl Slice

300g frozen (or fresh) raspberries (Just under or about 1 lb...1 kg = 2.2 lbs)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
125 g butter - soften in microwave (0.3 lbs. Is this equivalent to a stick of butter??)
1 1/3 cup self raising flour (sifted)
1/2 cup caster sugar

Fresh raspberries (if available) and icing sugar to garnish

Preheat oven to 180 C.
Prepare a 18 x 28 cm tin (shallow rectangle slice tin) by brushing with butter and lining the tin (I just line the tin and don't bother with the butter).

Cream sugar, vanilla essence and butter together until white.
Add eggs and mix in.

Sift in the flour and mix gently. Do not over beat.

Spoon about half of the mixture into the tin. If using frozen raspberries, spread the raspberries over the mixture in the tin. Place the rest of the mixture on top of the raspberries.

If using fresh, gently mix the raspberries with the remaining mixture and place in the tin.

Smooth out the surface.

Bake for about 40 - 50 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the centre of slice.

Remove from tin on to a wire rack to cool (and then remove the paper lining).

Cut into squares.
Decorate with fresh raspberries (if available) and dust with icing sugar to serve.

Best eaten on the day it is made (which is the only drawback of this recipe ).

Second batch out of the oven.

First batch tasted good. Now to let them cool before I ice them....

I wonder if I have any icing sugar? Better go check.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Yup! Thank goodness for keeping a well stocked pantry..! I had a spare packet.
