Recipe - Gluten Free Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

Hi everyone!
It was my colleague's birthday and I baked her a cake. She is allergic to gluten so I wanted to make her something nice which doesnt taste as bland as in the store. I hope it worked because she loved it!

I got the recipe here but I did make a few changes in the method so I've written the easier version below. 

 You will need:
300 g white sugar
185 g Butter
3 eggs
200 g Gluten free plain flour
70 g Gluten free self raising flour
90 g milk
20 g Organic Raw Cacao Powder, Or 4 Tablespoons
half a bag of chocolate chips (I used dark but you can choose whichever)

Instructions:
  1. Pre Heat fan forced oven to 160 Degrees, and butter a Kugelhopf baking tin
  2. Whisk the sugar and butter together until creamy
  3. Add eggs one at a time while you are mixing
  4. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until well blended
  5. Pour into prepared tin and make for 40-60 minutes until skewer runs clean when tested. 
  6. Leave on bench to cool completely before serving
The last part is super important as this is gluten free four and therefore really crumbly (I didnt add Xantham Gum as the recipe didnt call for it) so when I was very eager to take the cake out of the tin, a part of it decided to stay behind. Oops... 

 Oh well, good thing I had some lovely chocolate left to cover and stick it all together a la Bake Off ;) The end result was quite amazing actually!

I have never actually tempered chocolate before so I just melted it and poured it over. So in the end result the chocolate was not as shiny, but it was still very yummy:

And the birthday girl and the other colleagues were very pleased with it. Plus I was extremely chuffed that I finally got to use my shiny new cake holder! More on that later, I dont even have piccie yet...

Scissor Sock Tutorial

Image
Hi all! I've had so many request from friends for these scissor socks that I wanted to share the tutorial with you. I've been sick for a while so this tutorial is well over due. This will be my first sewing tutorial so I hope it's clear enough :) Feel free to make you own or for friends or family, but please don't use it for commercial purposes or make them to sell. It is after all not my pattern. So let's get started :) You need: 2 pieces of fabric with different print Interfacing (with ironing option on one side only) Cord Ribbon 1 button  Beads Cutting mat and ruler Rotary cutter and scissors Some sort of circular template (I use a small plate) Needle and thread Cut the fabric and the interfacing to a rectangle of 9x12.5 inches (23x32 cm). Decide which fabric you want where, this will influence the next step. Use your circular template to round one corner. The fabric you want on the top and bottom of your sock will have t

Fabulising February - Men's Shirt Dress

Image
Hi everyone! Fabulising February is nearly over and this is the last project I have managed to complete.Tomorrow I'll post a short recap showing all the finished projects. Wanting to go out with a bang, I tackled a men's shirt that the bf bought online many years ago and forgot to return it so I wanted to make something nice out of it. Seems a waste to be throwing away a brand new shirt! Granted, it was white and while probably cotton it was very thick and stiff material. So I dyed it purple. Of course. Once it was purple, I then had to try and do something with it. Easier said than done! I finally found a cute idea for a dress in blogland (didn't save the link though) and I really wanted to try that. But the instructions were super tricky so in the mending pile it went. This is the shirt. Much too large even for the bf but purple at least ;) And a bit wrinkled for being in the bag for a very long time. But with only a little time left in my Fabulising February

My Neighbor Totoro Project #2: Catbus

Image
Hello again! So last time I showed you how I made Totoro. I ended up making yet another doll / pillow from the same movie for the same friend! I think this was a present for a combination of life events, and I knew she would love this. This time, I made Catbus! (if you don't know what Catbus looks like, please Google it as there are so many references out there! Or better yet: watch the movie, you will love it!) Again, I went shopping for fabric... at least this time I knew what I needed, the wool was just perfect, I just had to find the right colours. Catbus has various shades of brown and a bright yellow. The brown was easy but I couldn't find yellow anywhere... In the end I opted for yellow felt which worked as well. Not the tiny squares of craft felt, no the proper felt on a roll. It seemed stronger, and the colour was perfect. Sadly this time there was no tutorial, but I did find a pillow on ebay that served as inspiration for this project. Ok, I mostly copied it... M
