Chocolate Fruit & Nut Rocks

I don’t really indulge in chocolates as women are known to be but yes I enjoy eating chocolates, specially when  ‘m feeling a li’l  low it does wonders for me… Chocolate most commonly comes in dark, milk, and white varieties, with cocoa solids contributing to the brown coloration but according to me the best chocolate to cook at home is dark one, therefore I have used the same to make these yummy chocolate Rocks..One can also use different combinations of these three and develop a flavor as per their own preference..

INGREDIENTS:-

Dark Cooking Chocolate: 1/2 Cup

Mixed Nuts: 1/4 Cup (Almond,Cashew nuts,Walnuts, Raisins.. etc)

METHOD:-

• Roughly Chop nuts (except raisins).

• Dry roast nuts in a pan.

• Roughly chop chocolate into small pieces so that its easy to melt.

• Melt chocolate in a double boiler ( heat water in a pan,  keep the bowl of chocolate over it take care that the bowl should perfectly fit over the pan so that steam doesn’t escape at all from sides.)

• Once the chocolate melts remove it from heat and stir it with spoon to  make the chocolate glossy. (Don’t heat the chocolate for long remove as soon as it melts)

• Add roasted nuts to it and mix well.

• Drop a spoonful of this mixture on flat base with the help of two spoons.
• Garnish this with nuts & keep  in fridge for 5 mins to set.

• You can wrap them in colorful wrapping papers and gift them to family & friends.

Note: Do take care that not a single drop of steam or water goes into chocolate as it will spoil the texture…

Sugar Dotted Choco Chip Cake

Or should I call it my husband's birthday cake… I really wanted to make cake for his b’day  since so many years and finally I did happy mee.. :) well as this area is new to us  so it was difficult to find the ingredients but he(Vikas) was really sweet to get every thing for me…

Well initially the plan was to make Chocolate Cake but we couldn’t find coco powder so I made Choco Chip cake using the cooking chocolate which my supeeeeerrrr  sweet brother-in law bought for me…. :)

INGREDIENTS:-

Cooking Butter: 125gms Flour: 1 1/2 Cups Condensed Milk: 100 ml Powdered Sugar: 3/4 cup + 4 tbsp Water: 1/2 cup

Baking Powder: 1 Tsp Coke: 300 ml Amul Cream: 400 ml Choco Chips: 1/2 cup Sugar Dots: to garnish

METHOD:-

• Mix condensed milk and sugar 3/4 cup properly then add cooking butter (butter should be soft) and whip till light and fluffy.
• Chop Chocolate into small pieces or one can use ready made choco chips.
• Add choco chips to the butter mixture.
  

• Swift flour and baking powder together and add this to the wet mixture and mix very slowly, add coke to it taking care that the cake batter is neither very thick nor very runny. 
• Meanwhile pre heat the oven at 250 c for 10 mins and grease a thin flat baking tray “because of using tray instead of mould, cake will be cooked in very less time”
• Pour the batter in the tray and bake this for 10 mins at 220 c and check if its cooked by inserting a knife into it or else cook for 5 mins more..
• Once the cake is cooked let it cool down and meanwhile whip the chilled cream till hard peaks in a bowl keeping ice under the bowl *other wise it will turn into butter.
• Slice the cake into 2-3 slices depending upon the shape of cake you want..

• Dissolve 4 Tbsp sugar in water and sprinkle it over one slice of cake to make it soft the spread whipped cream over it generously, keep the other layer over it and repeat the procedure till last layer of cake.
• Once you have kept the final layer cover the whole cake with cream and garnish with sugar dots.
• And your cake is ready… hufffff… :)
