Hi guys!

I told you I’m in my Cupcake period, right :) These Oreo Cupcakes are so good, you’ll want it before, during and after Easter ;) The best part of this Cupcake probably is the Oreo/Milka chocolate egg on top. It’s soooo good!

What we need:

Cupcakes

  • 85 g self-raising flour
  • 15 g cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 135 g butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1,5 tbsp milk
  • 1/4th tsp vanilla extract
  • Cupcake wrappers

Frosting

  • 125 g butter
  • 250 g icing sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • piping bag
  • oreos
  • milka/oreo chocolate eggs
  • 1M piping tip

Easter Oreo Cupcakes

How to:

Cupcakes

  1. Preheat the oven at 180°C.
  2. Sift your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add butter and eggs and mix until it all combines.
  4. Add milk and vanilla and mix until the batter is smooth.
  5. Put 1 oreo cookie on the bottom of each cupcake wrapper.
  6. Fill the wrapper for 3/4th with batter.
  7. Bake for about 22 minutes.

(This recipe is from Cupcake Jemma)

Frosting

  1. Beat the butter soft.
  2. Add half of the icing sugar and mix until it combines.
  3. Add the other half along with the milk and the vanilla extract.
  4. Beat long enough until the frosting becomes fluffy and well combined.
  5. Beat the some oreo cookies to make crumbs.
  6. Sift the crumbs. The crumbs that fall through the sifter are perfect for your frosting, the others will go on top.
  7. Blend the crumbs into your frosting, set the larger ones aside.
  8. Take a 1M piping tip and a piping bag.
  9. Pipe beautiful roses on your cupcake.
  10. Sprinkle the larger crumbs on top of the roses to make some sort of ‘nest’.
  11. Cut milka oreo chocolate eggs in half and put them on top.

The Best Brownies

/ sarahgiebens / 23 Comments

Hi guys!

Last Sunday, we had our annual family BBQ!
It’s a BBQ with my mother’s whole family. Yes, it’s crowded…
We try to do this every year because that’s actually the only time we get to see everyone.
I see my close relatives quite often but my mother’s aunts and cousins not so much.

My favourite thing about the BBQ (except for the meat) is the fact that everyone (well, not everyone but you know what I mean) brings food!
Some make salads, some make side dishes etc. And I made something too! I don’t need to tell you that it involved loads of sugar, butter and perhaps some chocolate too, do I? ;)
This year, I made my famous Brownies!
(I made them last year as well but everyone likes them so much they keep asking for it)
Brownies are just perfect for this occasion because you get a lot in no time!
Imagine me baking cakes for over 30 people…
Brownies make your life so much easier! My batch serves about 20 portions!
Is that enough?? No, probably not…
But it is a dessert buffet so if everyone took a piece of every dish, I think we had to roll everyone home!
Including me!

This year, I decided to make half a batch with oreos… YUM!

These delicious Brownies are perfect because they have that fudgyness! If you break a piece in two, you’d see these little fibres for a second and then they’re gone.
Love it! And I’m not the only one who does ;)

Let’s get baking, shall we?

What do we need: (1 batch = +- 20 portions)

  • 350g dark chocolate
  • 250g butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 250g sugar candy
  • 80g self-raising flour
  • baking tin (I alsways use a square one)
  • oreos

How to:

Preheat the oven at 180 degrees centigrade.
Put the chocolate and the butter in a bowl. Put them in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes (until they’re almost completely melted).
Mix the sugar together with the eggs until you get a smooth batter.
Add the melted butter-chocolate-mixture and mix it together.
Add the flour and mix until everything looks mixed well together.

I don’t butter my baking tin. I just put a sheet of baking paper in it.
Put the batter in the baking tin. If you want to add some oreos, cut them in four and put the little pieces on/in the batter.
Bake the Brownies for about 30 minutes at 180 degrees centigrade.
Check the Brownies by using a sharp knife. If it comes out clean, your Brownies are done!

Let them cool in the baking tin and afterwards on a rack.
You can cut them in any size you want! I mostly cut it in 20 pieces :)

I hope you love these Brownies as much as my family, friends and I do :D
