Orange Ginger honey Cakes ( mini cakes de miel, jengibre y naranja)

Here is a new recipe for this Christmas time.  I love Christmas  and usually the smell of spices reminds me of everything my mother did, this is my second Christmas without her and it's really difficult, when I'm sad I miss talk to her.   And I know  it makes me especially sensitive and I try to continue and dont think so much.. I love these honey, ginger and orange cakes and love  the color, that's why I like to cook and especially bake, apart from being a relax there are always new things to experience. I hope to make another Christmas recipe but in any case I wish you a very merry Christmas with peace and love I appreciate all yours comments : thanks Source:  Two cups flour Orange ginger honey cakes Ingredients 2 cups  (250) all purpose flour 2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoon ground ginger 1 tablespoon orange zest 6 tablespoons unsalted butter browned 3/4 cup (270 g) honey 2 tablespoon orange juice 1/2 (125 ml) cup whole m...

Black cherry almond ripple semifreddo (Semifreddo de cerezas con almendras)

I think  maybe is  the first time that  Christmas is so close and  Im in  this state of mind (not even when my mother died) . (sad and exausted) All days is a fight, it's all so uncertain, you don't know what will happen, when we will be calmer anyway you  don't know nothing. And  of course I support the demands, and  this government has committed many injustices and caused a lot of pain.  Oh well... I have started to put myself in Christmas spirit and decided that I want to start cooking  about Christmas. This Black cherry Semifreddo is delicious for every season you can make with other fruits or with frozen cherries. Sometimes  semifreddo is better than Ice cream and is really easy , usually I make at night, freeze and  you can serve to the following day. Adapted from : Girl in the little red kitchen lots of love to all !! The recipe Ingredients 3/4 cup granulated white sugar 4 large egg yolks 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1 teaspoo...

Chocolate brownie muffins ( brownies /muffins de chocolate)

I had several recipes ready but it took me some time  start the posts, honestly it's hard  think what to talk about, maybe from here? of the current situation, of sorrows and distress, or  about Christmas that is so close and I love Christmas? Although I am not normally depressed, it is hard to keep the spirit when you watch the news, when there are fires, looting and other things, how did this come about? I dont know. Apart from praying, reading and baking (catharsis) I try to think about Christmas. Even in the most difficult times people celebrate Christmas, and I believe in God and the birth of Jesus, so I will try to take care of the Christmas spirit. Well, apart from continuing to make jams (apricots are maturing) and I don't like to bury the fruit so that's what I'm in. This recipe for "Brownie muffins" has the best of everything, it is a muffin with the taste of a brownie. Thank you all for your mails, love and concern, hugs and  kisses to all ! Source ...

Cherry almond Bundt Cake (Bundt cake de cerezas y almendras)

Here we go again, Hi to all !! I'm a little embarrassed to say that I was sick with a terrible cold and bronchitis,  finally after taking antibiotics (I didn't want to)Im better. I don't want to bore anyone, but it was. A week I hardly knew about me. But here I am and I made one of my favorites cakes : A cherry almond bundt cake . It doesn't cost me so much even though my arm still hurts to beat. I also recommend this recipe cause I love Bundt cakes :)  This cherry almond bundt cake  is a traditional pound cake filled with cherry pie filling  with a cream cheese glaze. Thank you for the greetings and love and those who ask how I am, I appreciate it very much!

Apple ginger mini pies (mini pies de jengibre y canela)

Although I love autumn and winter very much, I am always surprised by the first signs of Spring. Here spring begins on September 21, more than ever the flowers of the trees are like a miracle.  We have had a bad winter, very icy and without rain and this is the worst, the planet really has a problem of climate change in that the seasons are no longer the same.  What will happen to the apricots, peaches and others? Only we have to wait .  In the old times the people of the countryside lived in seasonal changes, the summers, and then the autumn in which the nature rests and then the winter in which we need the rain, and all begin again. But just now nothing is sure. Oh well, I made these  apple mini pies. I love apples and especially apple pie!

Blueberry lemon mini bundt cakes (mini bundt cakes de limon y arandanos)

  This is another recipe I wanted to make some time ago and finally I could because my arm is better although it still hurts. (The doctor says it takes several months to get well again but really I feel better) About these delicious mini bundt cakes I used small molds that can be found in E-bay here  or Amazon. They are made of silicone and that's why they are good for unmolding, but you could also make a big bundt cake in one mold  with this recipe. In many parts you still have blueberries and in this recipe you can use fresh or frozen.  I always freeze berries  in the summer to have in our winter. Send you greetings and hugs to all who stopping  by here. Thank you!

Swirled Sesame - Tahini Tea Cake (Cake con sesamo negro y blanco)

I wanted to make this recipe a long time ago.  But you already know about my fall and my arm recently I can cook and bake more. One of the things that still costs me is the manual mixer I feel very heavy but I do it in small times . The ingredients is what I like most about this cake (and it's delicious) Sesame, cardamom, tahini, all this makes it delicious and original. I like sesame.  Let me tell you I'm happy to be here, a time ago  I couldn't even write on the computer! This recipe is dedicate to a friend of mine that passed some weeks  ago : Jo Lamiri.  She was a freelance food  writer, editor  and work in many  magazines , traveled a lot, and she love it.  Love ya Jo and thanks for be always sweet and nice.
