MICROWAVE MARBLE CAKE

After a great success with  5 Minute Chocolate Cake , I wish to share with you another amazing cake done in microwave. This original recipe from Taste of Home  is called Microwave Chocolate but made slight changes and turned it into marble cake.

Normally we think most microwave cake will turn very dry but not with this cake, it is so moist and tasted great. Make sure your  glass/plastic container  is big enough to let them rise, it filled more than double. .

MICROWAVE MARBLE CAKE
Yield    :     7 in  loaf

1 1/2 C   all purpose flour
1  1/2 TB  unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1 C  brown/white sugar
5 TB  oil/melted butter
1 C   milk
1 TB  vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 TB all purpose flour

METHOD

Combine milk with vinegar, keep aside. Grease a 7 in  microwavable dish.

In a  mixing bowl combine flour, sugar  and baking soda, mix well.

Combine together milk mixture, oil, vanilla and milk. Pour this to the dry ingredient, mix until well combined.

Divide batter into 2. Add cocoa to one portion and add 1 1/2 tablespoon flour to other half. Mix until well incorporated.

Put a tablespoon of plain batter on a greased  microwavable container, top with a table of cocoa batter. Repeat the process until batter is used up.

Microwave on high for 5 minutes, another 2 minutes on medium. Let stand in a  microwave oven for 10 minutes.

Let cool in a pan for 30 minutes, transfer onto rack to cool.

GHEE RICE

Most common rice dish during a festive occasion or just a normal family gathering. There are so many ways to prepare this delectable and aromatic rice. Some done without adding the evaporated milk but I have tried both, preferred the ones with milk, gives an extra flavor to the rice.

If using basmati rice, soak them for 15  minutes before proceeding. You can cook this rice using stove top, rice cooker or pressure cooker. For cooking on stove top, do use lowest heat after the water has been absorbed by the rice to avoid getting burnt. Best eaten with spicy gravy.

SPIRAL ROLLS

These  rolls can be created using any of your favorite sweet bread recipe. It takes a few minutes to shape something special for dinner or entertaining . These single size rolls saving you from  worrying about crumbs from cutting.

You can also coat them with icing sugar after they have been baked. I must tell you that these rolls were yummy, buttery  and chewy!

ZUCCHINI CUTLETS

Zucchini is a healthy vegetable which is low in calorie but contains useful amount of folate, potassium, vitamin A and manganese. It is quite bland to consume on its own so you need to turn them into  snack or dessert to enjoy them. In this case I have prepared Zucchini Cutlets, one of  popular Indian fried snacks. These are great as an appetizer, afternoon snack with tea or a side dish with dinner.

ZUCCHINI  CUTLETS

250g  shredded zucchini squeeze the juice out
1/2 C rice flour
4 green chili chopped
1 onion  chopped
1 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp ginger minced
1/4 C  chopped coriander leaves
salt to taste
plain flour for coating
zucchini juice/water
oil for frying

METHOD

Squeeze out the water from the shredded zucchini, keep aside.

In a mixing bowl. combine zucchini, rice flour, green chili, cumin seed, ginger, coriander leaves and salt.

Sprinkle with zucchini juice if it is too dry. Shape into patties then coat with flour.

Heat a small amount of oil in a pan using medium heat,  slide in the cutlets and fry until golden brown. Drain on absorbent paper.

Serve with tomato/chili sauce.

FRUITY BREAD TRIFLE

Trifle is a cold dessert made of  thick custard, fruit, sponge cake, fruit juice or gelatin and whipped cream. They are usually arranged in layer with fruit and sponge cake on the bottom, custard and cream on top.  Now they have used  brownies, muffin, crushed cookies, chocolate chip, toasted nut chocolate shaving and many more for layering this stunning desert..

I  had used bread slices, banana, peaches and  yogurt for this dessert. Use your imagination to create this yummy dessert. You can add more layer if using a taller glass.
