™ How To Make BEST-EVER CHOCOLATE CAKE , HERITAGE RECIPE

Try easy BEST-EVER CHOCOLATE CAKE , HERITAGE RECIPE Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

3?4 cup butter, softened 3 eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 3?4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3?4 teaspoon baking powder 1?2 teaspoon salt 2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla 1 1?2 cups milk CHOCOLATE-SOUR CREAM FROSTING (SEE RECIPE BELOW) 2 cups semisweet chocolate pieces 1?2 cup butter 1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream 7?8 cup sifted powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS

Allow butter and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly grease bottoms of two 8x8x2-inch square or 9x1-1/2-inch round cake pans. Line bottom of pans with waxed paper. Grease and lightly flour waxed paper and sides of pans (or grease one 13x9x2-inch baking pan) and set aside. In a mixing bowl stir together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder; and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating on medium speed until well combined (3 to 4 minutes). Scrape sides of bowl; continue beating on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition (about 1 minute total). Beat in vanilla. Alternately add flour mixture and milk to beaten mixture, beating on low speed just until combined after each addition. Beat on medium to high speed for 20 seconds more. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan(s). Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 35 to 40 minutes for 8-inch pans and the 13x9x2-inch pan, 30 to 35 minutes for 9-inch pans, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cake layers in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Peel off waxed paper and cool thoroughly on wire racks. Or place 13x9x2-inch cake in pan on a wire rack; cool thoroughly.

⚘ The Best BEST-EVER BROWNIES FROM BAKING WITH JULIA CHILD

Try easy BEST-EVER BROWNIES FROM BAKING WITH JULIA CHILD Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

1 1?4 cups sifted all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 8 ounces unsalted butter 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 large eggs, room temperature

DIRECTIONS

Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350. I bake them at a lower oven temp of 330. Sift the flour and salt together; set aside. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently and keeping a watchful eye on the pot to make certain the chocolate doesn't scorch (Alternatively, you can melt the ingredients in the top of a double boiler over, not touching, simmering water.) Add 1 cup of the sugar to the mixture and stir for half a minute, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the mixture into a large bowl. Put the remaining 1 cup sugar and the eggs into a bowl and mix or whisk by hand just to combine. Little by little, pour half of the sugar and eggs into the chocolate mixture, stirring gently but constantly with a rubber spatula so that the eggs don't set from the heat. Fit the whisk attachment to the mixer and whip the remaining sugar and eggs until they are thick, pale, and doubled in volume, about 3 minutes. Using the rubber spatula, delicately fold the whipped eggs into the chocolate mixture. When the eggs are almost completely incorporated, gently fold in the dry ingredients. Pour and scrape the batter in to an unbuttered 9-inch square pan. Bake the brownies for 22-26 minutes, during which time they will rise a little and the top will turn dark and dry. Cut into the center at about the 22-minute mark to see how the brownies are progressing: they'll be perfect if they're just barely set and still pretty gooey. They're still awfully good on the other side of set, so don't worry if you miss the moment on your first try. Cool the brownies in the pan on a rack.

✬ BEST CORNED BEEF/ SILVERSIDE ON THE PLANET.

TESTED & PERFECTED BEST CORNED BEEF/ SILVERSIDE ON THE PLANET. Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

2 kg piece corned beef (silverside works well too) 2 oranges 2 tablespoons golden syrup 40 whole cloves 2 bay leaves pepper

DIRECTIONS

Take the corned beef/silverside out of the plastic wrapping and wash it off in cold water. (makes it less slippery and easier to handle). Take the whole cloves and stick the little spike part of each clove well into the meat. (sometimes you need to make a little hole into the meat with the point of a veggie knife in order to get it in). Stud the entire piece of meat evenly with cloves, using more than 40 of them if necessary). Put the golden syrup into the bottom of a large tall saucepan (I use a big soup pot). Put the meat into the pot, add the bay leaf and pepper, halve the oranges and squeeze them to get some juice out over the meat, drop the squeezed oranges into the pot as well. Cover with water and simmer for 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on how big the piece of meat is -- even a small bit does really well on low for 1.5-2 hours. Top up the water if necessary. Take out and rest the meat for 10 minutes. Pick out what cloves you can (they are really there for flavour, not to be eaten) Cut across the grain. (if you do it the wrong way your "slice" of meat will fall into 1000 tiny pieces so just turn the meat around and cut at right angles to your first cut if that happens.). Cut it into thin slices. Serve with mustard sauce (if you can already keep your hands from nibbling it off plate). Prepare to taste corned beef like you've never tasted it before -- ummmmm --. Serves 4 in theory, but I have to confess that DH and I we could eat one small one each. LOL nibble, nibble, just a little bit more, nibble, nibble, opps , gone! Served cold, it also makes great sandwiches -- but in our house there's rarely enough left over to make a sandwich :).

✯ How To BEST BLUEBERRY CRISP

Try easy BEST BLUEBERRY CRISP Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

1 quart fresh blueberries (about 4 cups you can use more blueberries if desired I most always do!) 3?4 cup sugar (or (to taste) 2 tablespoons cornstarch 1 cup water 2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice 1?2 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup all-purpose flour 3?4 cup regular oats 1 cup brown sugar 1 1?2 teaspoons cinnamon 1?2 cup butter, melted (no substitutes)

DIRECTIONS

Set oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare an 11 x 7-inch baking dish (can use a 13 x 9-inch but it will not be as high). Spread the blueberries in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. In a small saucepan over medium heat combine the sugar, cornstarch, water and 2-3 Tbsp lemon juice; cook and stir until thick and clear, then add in the vanilla. Pour over, then gently stir in the cooked mixture with the blueberries. In a bowl combine the flour with oats, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add in the melted butter; mix until crumbly (I start mixing with a spoon then finish mixing with my hands). Sprinkle over the top of blueberries (there will be a couple of empty spots that is okay, there may seem like a lot of crumble but it will settle when baking). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until blueberry mixture bubbles and the topping is brown. Serve with ice cream-- enjoy!
