All Purpose Flour        - 1 cup (Maida)
Powdered Sugar         - 1/2 cup
Butter                          - 1/4 cup
Baking Powder            - 1/4 tsp
Egg                              - 1
Vanilla Extract             - 1/4 tsp
Salt                              -  a pinch


Procedure:


  • Sieve well All purpose flour, Baking powder and salt together. Powder sugar and take 1/2 cup of it. Butter should be at room temperature when you are using it for preparing cookies. Take egg out from fridge 30 minutes before you start off with the procedure.
  • Take a bowl. Add butter to it. Beat it till it becomes creamy. After that add powdered sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes so that sugar mixes well with butter.
  • Now add an egg to the bowl. Beat for some time till the batter turns fluffy.
  •  Add vanilla essence to batter. Now add sieved dry ingredients to batter in small instances and start folding in dry ingredients with a help of a spatula. 
  • Your cookie dough is ready now.  Cookie dough will be wet only as of now. Once stored in fridge, dough will get little dry.
  •  Separate the dough into two parts cover it with a cling wrap and store it in fridge at least for an hour. The cookie dough stays good even for 3 days when stored in fridge. 
  • Take out the dough from fridge only when you are going to prepare cookies. Even now, if your dough is wet, you can add little all purpose flour to dough and knead it. 
  • Make a small ball out of the dough and roll it with the help of flour. Cut it in desired shapes using cookie cutter and place it in a greased tray. 


  • If you don't have cookie cutter, just make a lemon size ball and place it on a greased tray. Press  it using a fork. By this way, you can make round shaped cookies easily. 
  • You can also cut the cookies in the shape you wish by directly cutting the dough with a help of fondant knife. I prepared Christmas shapes by this method only.
  • Pre-heat the oven in convection mode at 180 degree Celsius and bake cookies at 180 degree Celsius for about 10 minutes. 
  • When you are taking out from oven, cookies will be soft only. It will turn crunchier in some time. So after baking, allow cookies to cool off so that it will turn crispier. Now our sugar cookies are ready.

Shortening                     - 1/4 tsp
Vanilla Extract                - 1/4 tsp
Lemon Food Color         - as required


Procedures:

Procedure For Cake Sponge:

  • Sieve all dry ingredients together. Separate  egg yolks.
  • Take a bowl. Add white yolk. Whisk for some time. When it becomes fluffy add half of the sugar. Continue whisking for 3-4 minutes till it become very fluffy.
  • Take another bowl.. add yellow yolk.. whisk it until it become pale. After that add remaining sugar.. continue whisking till the sugar gets dissolved. .
  • After the sugar gets dissolved, add Butter and continue whisking.
  • Add cold milk and vanilla essence. Stir the batter.
  • Repeat the above process for another 2 times.
  • Preheat oven to 180 degree Celsius.
  • Apply butter to cake pan. Dust it with flour. Remove the excess., add batter to pan. Bake it for 25-30 minutes. 
  • Insert a toothpick in the cake. If it comes out clearly, your cake is ready!!!

    Quick Tips:


    1. The fluffiness of the cake depends on the time you beat egg.. so beat it well
    2. Eggs should be in room temperature. . So take  the egg out from fridge at-least before 30 minutes.
    3. And the bowl and the blender should be very clean. It shouldn't have any butter or fat. Otherwise egg white won't fluff.


Procedure For Fondant:

  • Sift (Sieve) powdered sugar. Take a pan. Boil milk in it. When its hot add Agar-Agar powder. Cook it for a minute or so, till agar- agar is mixed well.
  • Now add half of the sugar, sugar syrup and vanilla essence to it. Mix it well.
  • Start adding remaining sugar in small instances and knead the dough. Kneading process is the most difficult step in this. Keep on kneading the dough till it reaches tight consistency.Always grease the work place with vegetable shortening before kneading. You can also use Butter instead. Cover fondant with a cling wrap and set it aside for 10 hours. After 10 hours knead for some time.Take a little dough and expand it with a greased rolling pin. Cut it with a cookie cutter. Your heart shaped fondant is ready.
  • This fondant dough stays good for many days at room temperature itself.

procedure For Butter Cream Frosting:

  •  keep the vessel in which you are going to prepare frosting and beater  hook in fridge for at-least an hour.
  • Powder sugar.
  • After an hour take out vessel, hook and start whipping the Butter and Vegetable shortening. You can find vegetable shortening in most of the super markets. You can also replace shortening with butter by adding a total of 1 cup of Butter. Adding vegetable shortening gives smoothness to the frosting.  And when its fluffy add Powdered sugar and vanilla Essence.
  • Whisk well.. After some five minutes, add cold milk and start whisking again. 
  • The frosting should be of free flowing consistency. If the frosting is too thick, add in 2 tbsp of cold milk or more. Adding milk is purely optional. Frosting should be easily spreadable. If the frosting is too thin, it won't stay on cakes. So be careful, while adding milk.
  • Take the cake sponge in a plate. Cut the cake into two layers horizontally. Rotating the plate while cutting helps in correct partitioning of cake.
  • Take a plate in which you are going to serve cake. Add frosting to the center. Place the bottom sponge layer to it. This is done to prevent the cake from moving
  • Spread a good ½ inch layer of  frosting to it. 
  • Now the second layer, keep it upside down .Take a big dollop of  frosting and then spread it on top as well on sides. Then make it smooth! If crumbs are seen, do a crumb coat.

You will need only 30 minutes to prepare this.  To add the taste, i have added chopped cherries to the muffin batter. Whereas you can also add Tutti-frutti.  The recipe follows.. 

mini muffins



Yields : Around 15 mini muffins


Preparation Time : 30 minutes


Ingredients: 


Dry Ingredients:


All purpose flour       - 1 cup (Maida)
Baking Soda             - 1/2 tsp
Baking Powder         - 1 tsp
Salt                           - a pinch

Wet Ingredients:


Powdered Sugar       - Little less than 3/4 cup

  • Now add egg to it. Beat it well.
  • Add also cold milk to the bowl. Whisk for some time. Now add flour to the bowl in small instances and keep on whisking. Now your Muffin batter is ready.
  • These are the few tips from my side. Note that we are adding 3/4 th cup of powdered sugar and not plain sugar. If you are having plain sugar, powder it and use 3/4 th cup of it.
  • Eggs should not be cold or in room temperature. So take eggs from refrigerator 30 minutes before you start to whisk it. This would be fine.
  • I have added about 1/4 cup of chopped cherries to the muffin batter. you can also add 1/4 cup of tutti-frutti.  If you are using either, just add little all purpose flour to it. Mix it well and then add it to batter at last stage. Mix everything and use the batter. The purpose of adding All purpose flour,is to prevent tutti-fruiti or cherries from sticking to each other.
  • You can also add  1/4 tsp of vannila essence to improve the flavor.

Things Needed:

  • Cake Pan

Method:


For preparing cake sponge:

  1. Sieve well Maida ,Baking powder and salt.  I always use powdered sugar for baking cakes. Just powder usual sugar and use 1 cup of powdered sugar for this recipe. Butter should be at room temperature when you are about to whisk it. So take butter from fridge and keep it out for 2 hours before you are going to prepare the cake. There should be some chillness in eggs when you are whisking it. So take the eggs out from fridge just before 30 minutes.
  2. Beat Egg in a deep pan. 
  3. Once it gets fluffy add butter and blend well.. 
  4. After butter has melted and mixed well with egg add powdered sugar. Whisk till it dissolves. The batter would be very creamy and silky as of now.
  5. To the above, add dry ingredients which we have sieved before in small quantities and mix them well with a spatula 
  6. Add 1 tbsp of hot water to instant coffee powder. Mix it well and add it to the cake batter . Fold it well. The batter consistency should be free flowing just like Dosa batter. The consistency should be good if you are strictly following this recipe. If you couldn't achieve the consistency, add little amount (about 1 -2 tbsp) of hot water to the batter. 
  7. Grease the 6 " or 7 " pan.
  8. Pour the batter and bake in the preheated convection oven for 180 degree celsius..
  9. .Bake for 25 - 30 minutes  Insert a toothpick in the cake. If it comes out clearly (ie no wet pieces of cake should come with it) , you can take the cake from oven.. Let it cool. 
  10. Now our cake sponge is ready. I have did icing only on the top of the cake. If you wish you can divide  the cake  into two and do icing in between too.

For Frosting:


  •  keep the vessel in which you are going to prepare frosting and beater  hook in fridge for at-least an hour.
  • After an hour take out vessel, hook and start whipping the Butter. And when its fluffy add Powdered sugar and vanilla Essence.
  • Whisk well.. After some five minutes, add cold milk and start whisking again.
  • The frosting should be of free flowing consistency. If the frosting is too thick, add in 2 tbsp of cold milk or more. Adding milk is purely optional. Frosting should be easily spreadable. If the frosting is too thin, it won't stay on cakes. So be careful, while adding milk. Whisk until it becomes creamy.
  • Take a plate in which you are going to serve cake. Add frosting to the center. Place the cake on it. This is done to prevent the cake from moving
  • Take a big dollop of  frosting and then spread it on cake top as well on sides. Then make it smooth! If crumbs are seen, do a crumb coat.
  • Keep the cake in fridge for about 20 minutes. 
  • Add the remaining frosting  to a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Pipe in circular motion to make rosettes in the top.
  • And i used edible sugar rose flowers  and rice krispies which are available in stores.
  • I mixed 2 tbsp of hot water to 2 tsp of instant powder and added it to the frosting. I used it for writing on the cake. This is just the way i decorated the cake. You can decorate as you wish.
