Recipe: Buttermilk Cake

Jade mentioned a nice homepage with a challenge yesterday and I love it! So I'm going to join in, too.



My recipe is a buttermilk sheet cake - easy and very yummy! It's a "cup" cake which means the ingredients are measured with a cup. Please use a normal coffee/tea cup like this (no mug!).

Ingredients:
4 cups of wheat flour
1 sachet of baking powder
3 cups of sugar
3 eggs
1 pack of buttermilk (500 grams)

Preheat the oven to 190°C/374°F.
Mix all ingredients and fill the smooth dough on a sheet. Now, dredge the dough with cinnamon-sugar and flaked almonds.
Put it in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy! :-)

Greek Herdsmen Cream

As everyone was thrilled of the Greek Herdsmen Cream I decided to share this recipe with you.
I need to say that I hate garlic as well as onions. I really don't like them. But I didn't mind the garlic in this cream as it puts the special taste to it.

Hope that you'll like it. So here we go:

Ingredients: (for 8 people)
20 black olives
400 g feta cheese
200 g cream cheese with garlic
5 Ts milk
4 Ts tomato puree

Cut the feta cheese in very small pieces (maybe mash it with a fork) and mix it with the garlic cream cheese in a bowl. Add the milk and tomato puree and mix it. Then add the sliced olives and fold them in.
Season to taste with salt, pepper, oregano and paprika.

Enjoy!

Xmas Cookies for Toddlers

Here is a nice recipe I found in a parent magazine. This is a special recipe for babies from 10 month on. It's easy and I hope you'll have fun baking them. You can ask your older kids to help you cutting the cookies :-)

D loves them and gets one every morning for breakfast with his milk.

Ingredients:
125 g wholemeal flour
1 Ts powdered sugar
1 Ts vanilla sugar
1 pinch of salt
75 g butter
25 g sour cream

Preheat the oven on 180°C / 356°F
Knead all ingredients into a smooth dough and put in the fridge for 1 hour (in a plastic wrap).
Roll dough out to a thickness of 5mm / 0.2inch , cut cookies and place them on a baking tray covered with baking parchment.
Baking time: 12 min per tray

Then frost the cookies. You can color the frosting with food coloring (for having green trees, yellow stars, etc.)

Enjoy! :-)
