Rich Coffee-Cocoa Muffin

When i saw this rich coffee muffin from e起打开幸福滋味, I was attracted by “the way of Richness" she described.

Yes, this muffin is indeed very rich. Coffee and Cocoa powder are great partners. They work well together to intense the richness to the fullest! The texture is soft and moist, not dry. Walnuts with coffee are also couples, so well matched!




The most amazing idea from the original author ~ she sprinkles kids' milk powder on top to replace the confectioners sugar. And, i tell u ... it doesn't taste very sweet as sugar, but looks presentable! What a great idea!~

You must try this~^.^

SAYONARA~

亲爱的烘焙发烧友,
我要放假去了~ 明天一大早我就要像小鸟看其,飞上云霄咯!
在这一个星期里,我不能到你们的家做客。
等我回来,再到府上大快朵颐一番!呵呵O(∩_∩)O~

这阵子,我真的把自己逼得好惨。
烦恼一件一件的找上门,我快透不过气了。
终于,一肩膀的负担一样一样的歇下,我也可以放下半颗心去度假。
剩下的就等我回来再处理吧!
原来,再困难的问题还是有解决的办法的。
大家也要加油哦!
感恩~

我会想念你们的~88!!

Cheddar Cheese Muffins meets Mr Nut & Ms Raisin

咦,不是暂停营业的吗?怎么这么快就开始打鸡蛋、称面粉啦!
原来,我的双手和我的大脑闹意见。脑袋烦恼,双手还是执意拿起电动搅拌器。

其实,这两天已经解决了两个小问题。心情顿时没有那么沉重。剩下的那一堆烦恼,就一步步见招拆招吧!
这个满分是要消耗妈妈之前买给我的一包Mix Nuts & Raisin。这满分的口感到了隔天会有些许硬,不过由于内馅的葡萄干及豆豆都充满咬劲,还有浓浓的咸香芝士味,嗯!

有一点要提醒的是,我的满分外形像爆青春痘,星厨房的如此诱人。原因是~~
我用片装的来切细,她用砖块的来刨成丝。
(片装的太快焦了,而且会“啵啵”出青春痘,影响外观)

Gift from England

My parents attended my younger brother graduation in England in August. They stayed there for a month as to enjoy their holidays. When they called me up and asked what to bring back for me? I answered, baking ingredients or accessaries which are not many expensive.

Guess what she bought for me???
(except sexy blouses, skirts and jeans... earrings and necklace, which i never thought of taking photo for them >.<) She bought these for me to crack my head, is it? Oh!.... ....
That's a pizza plate and a tool to smash potato are left out in the photo, Opps!
She said i am the big winner... ... in her luggage! Hohoho~
