Recipes Cookbook - Turtle Chocolate Layer Cake

Turtle Chocolate Layer Cake |#Applebutterrecipe #Easyapplebutter #Lemoncurdfilledcupcakes #Minibuntcakerecipes #Cupcakerecipes #Dessertrecipes #Saltedcaramelchocolatecake #Dingdongcakerecipe #Dingdongcakefilling #Cakerecipeschocolate #Hostesscake #Browniediprecipe

Ingredients

  • CHOCOLATE CAKE
  • 2 cups (260g) flour
  • 2 cups (414g) sugar
  • 3/4 cup (70g) Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
  • 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup (240ml) boiling water
  • CARAMEL SAUCE AND ICING
  • 1 1/2 cups (310g) sugar
  • 9 tbsp (126g) salted butter, cubed, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream, room temperature
  • 4 cups (460g) powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp (30-45ml) milk
  • CHOCOLATE GANACHE
  • 9 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) heavy whipping cream
  • ADDITIONAL
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE CAKE LAYERS:
  2. 1. Prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper circles in the bottom, and grease the sides. Preheat oven to 300°F (148°C).
  3. 2. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl and combine.
  4. 3. Add eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. 4. Slowly add water. Mix well.
  6. 5. Divide batter evenly between cakes pans and bake for about 30-33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.
  7. 6. Remove cakes from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.
  8. WHILE CAKES COOL, MAKE THE CARAMEL SAUCE AND ICING:
  9. 7. Pour sugar into an even layer in a large saucepan.
  10. 8. Heat on medium-high heat, whisking the sugar until melted. The sugar will clump up first, but will eventually completely melt. This will take about 10 minutes.
  11. 9. Once the sugar has melted, stop whisking and allow to cook until the sugar has turned to a little darker amber color. You may notice a nutty aroma. The change in color will happen quickly, so don’t let it go too long or get too dark or it’ll burn. Remove caramel from the heat.
  12. 10. Add butter and whisk until combined. The mixture will bubble up, but keep whisking until all the butter has melted and combined.
  13. 11. Slowly pour the heavy cream into the caramel and whisk until incorporated.
  14. 12. Cool for about 10-15 minutes before using.
  15. 13. Set aside about 1/3 cup of caramel sauce, then transfer remaining caramel sauce to a mixing bowl.
  16. 14. Slowly add powdered sugar and milk and mix until smooth. You can add more or less milk to get the right consistency for the icing. For help with getting the right consistency, check out this post.
  17. TO PUT CAKE TOGETHER:
  18. 15. Make the ganache by adding the chocolate chips to a metal or glass bowl (see my tips on making chocolate ganache).
  19. 16. Microwave the heavy whipping cream until boiling, then pour over the chocolate chips. Cover bowl with clear wrap for about 5 minutes.
  20. 17. Whisk chocolate until smooth. Microwave in 5-10 second increments as needed, if chocolate isn’t fully smooth and melted.
  21. 18. When the cakes are cool, remove the tops of the cakes with a large serrated knife so they are flat. See my tips on how to level a cake and how to stack a cake.
  22. 16. Place the first layer of cake on cake stand. Top with 1 cup of the caramel icing and spread into an even layer. Top icing with about 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, then drizzle with some chocolate ganache and caramel sauce.
  23. 17. Add second layer of cake and icing and add another 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, caramel sauce and chocolate ganache.
  24. 18. Top cake with remaining cake layer.
  25. 19. Pour remaining ganache over the cake and allow it to drizzle down the sides of the cake. Refrigerate until the ganache is firm.
  26. 20. There should have been a little caramel icing left. Use that to pipe caramel icing around the top edges of the cake, then sprinkle with remaining chopped pecans and drizzle with caramel sauce.

Recipes Cookbook - Oreo Pancakes

Oreo Pancakes |#Birthdaypartyideas #Sleepoverideas #Breakfastpartyideas #Foodvideos #Breakfastbarparty #Japanesehotcakes #Smoresbars #Donutrecipe #Pancakerecipe #S’moresbars #Easydesserts #Dessertpancakes


Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup dark unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 6 oreos finely crushed (I pulsed mine in a food processor)
  • For the cream
  • 2 cups cold heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 oreos finely crushed
  • chocolate syrup for drizzling (see note)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Whisk together. Add in egg, buttermilk and butter. Whisk a few times until batter comes together, but a few lumps still remain. You don't want to overmix pancake batter. Gently stir in crushed Oreos. Let batter sit a few minutes to thicken.
  2. Grease your skillet and bring to medium heat. Measure out 1/4 cup of batter. Pour batter into middle of skillet, using a spatula to help scrape out batter from measuring cup as it will be quite thick. Cook pancake until bubbles begin to break the surface, then flip to other side and cook until pancake is done. Repeat with remaining batter. You should have enough batter for about 10 pancakes.
  3. To make cream, pour heavy cream and sugar into a large mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on high speed with a wire whisk until cream becomes stiff peaks. Using a 1M star tip, pipe cream on top of one of the pancakes. I piped a thick outer circle and then less in the middle as I didn't want the pancakes to be overwhelmed with cream. Sprinkle some crushed Oreos over cream (you can also mix the Oreos into your cream but I want to keep the cream white to look more like Oreo cookies). Gently place a pancake on top. Repeat with cream, crushed Oreos and pancakes. I made two stacks of five. Serve immediately with chocolate syrup.

Recipes Cookbook - White Chocolate Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Chip Cookies

White Chocolate Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Chip Cookies |#chocolate #cookies #reeses #pieces #peanut #butter #white #thick #chewy #chip #and #soWhite  #Fall bucket list for teens #Fall party ideas #Fall party food #Dessert recipes #Cookie desserts #Fall desserts Chocolate Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Chip Cookies White Chocolate Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Chip Cookies - so thick and chewy!White Chocolate Reese's Pieces Peanut Butter Chip Cookies - so thick and chewy!




Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces (I used the minis but full-sized are OK, too)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and sea salt; set aside.
  2. Add the sugars, vanilla, and butter to a large bowl and whisk until light and fluffy; about 2 minutes (I recommend using a stand mixer/ handheld mixer to help here, if you have one). Add the eggs and beat quickly – for only about 30 seconds – until they’re just combined. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, then beat the eggs for another 30 seconds. Gently fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula, stirring only until the flour begins to disappear. Fold in white chocolate, peanut butter chips, and Reese's Pieces.
  3. Roll 3 tablespoon sized balls of dough between your palms to form a ball (they should be big; almost a 1/4 cup), then place on prepared sheet (make sure to leave enough room in between each cookie for inevitable spreading). Continue this process until all the dough has been rolled. Place baking sheets in preheated oven and bake for 11 minutes, or until golden at the edges but still soft in the middle. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the sheet before transferring to a wire wrack to cool completely.

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter-melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 cups milk-lukewarm
  • 1 and 1/4 cups (150 g) powdered sugar
  • 4 eggs-separated
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1 cup (115g) flour
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F
  2. Lightly grease 8×8 inch baking dish, set aside
  3. Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, set aside.
  4. Beat the egg yolks and powdered sugar until pale yellow.
  5. Mix in melted butter and the tablespoon of water (for about 2 minutes) until evenly combined.
  6. Mix in the flour until evenly incorporated.
  7. Slowly beat in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
  8. Fold in the egg whites (1/3 at a time, then repeat until all of the egg whites are folded in).

Baking time might vary depending on your oven or pan you use, but start checking after 40 minutes. If the top browns too quick before the minimum of 40 minutes, you can cover the cake with aluminum foil.
  10. Cool the cake completely before dusting with powdered sugar. Even cooled, it will be slightly jiggly because it has custard layer in the center.

Recipes Cookbook - RIDICULOUSLY TENDER BEEF TIPS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY

RIDICULOUSLY TENDER BEEF TIPS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY |  #RIDICULOUSLY #TENDER #BEEF #TIPS #MUSHROOM #GRAVY #Crockpot_meals #Beef_tips_crock_pot_recipes #Slow_cooker_recipes #Instant_pot_recipes_healthy_family #Crockpot_chicken_recipes #Instant_pot_recipes_videos #Buddah_bowl #Cooking_recipes #Yummy_food #Ethnic_recipes #Crockpot_recipes #Meat_dishes




Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 pounds chuck roast, trimmed+ cubed (or stew meat works too)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms, cut into thick slices
  • 1 ½ teaspoon EACH: garlic powder AND sugar
  • 1 teaspoon EACH: onion powder, dried thyme, AND mushroom powder
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • ½ cup pepperoncini peppers, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ – 2 cups low sodium beef stock (see directions)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (mixed with a few tablespoons of water)

Instructions

  1. SEAR: Season the beef with the flour, a big pinch of salt and pepper; mix well. Heat the butter in the instant pot on the sauté setting or a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When it melts sear the beef in batches to form a brown crust, remove to a plate, and continue searing the remaining beef. Add the onions and switch to a wooden spoon. Sauté them for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure no brown bits are left stuck on.
  2. SLOW COOKER: Place 2 cups of beef stock along with the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker (except the corn starch) and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-7 hours. 35 minutes before the cooking time is up, combine ½ cup of the liquid from the slow cooker and the cornstarch in a small bowl, whisk until smooth. Add to the slow cooker and allow for the food to cook for the remaining 30 minutes. If the gravy is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it to your desired consistency. If you still find your gravy is thin, add more cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water. Adjust salt and pepper to preference and serve over rice/mashed potatoes/cauliflower mash, etc.
  3. OR INSTANT POT:  Place 1 ½ cups of beef stock along with the remaining ingredients in the instant pot (except the cornstarch) and select the meat/stew setting. Cook on manual high pressure for 35 minutes. Once the stew is cooked allow natural pressure release for 10-15 minutes. This gives the meat a chance to really soak up all those flavors. Click the ‘sauté’ setting. Dissolve the cornstarch with 2-3 tablespoons of water and add that to the instant pot once the liquid starts bubbling. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 1-2 minutes, stir to combine. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add a couple more tablespoons of water to thin it to your desired consistency. Adjust salt and pepper to preference and serve over mashed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
