Chocolate Ganache Mini Bundts - Ina's Garden


We decided to have a Wild Card for this week's Ina Garden.  Since my granddaughter will be celebrating her birthday, at our home, I decided to make mini bundts.  She is only turning one so small cakes sounds appropriate.  I have decorated each of them differently.
Since I had the Marshmallow Fluff out for brownies, I was making, I decided to use that with the chocolate ganache to make it even more festive.  I had fun with different sprinkles and designs.

Chocolate Ganache Mini Bundts  (adapted)


Ingredients:


  • 7 1/2 ounces oil, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
  • 16 fluid ounces chocolate syrup 
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour

For the ganache:

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 8 ounces good chocolate chips  (Semi-sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules

Method:


 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Mix the oil and sugar with an electric mixer.

Add the eggs, 1 at a time. Mix in the chocolate syrup and vanilla.

Add the flour and mix until just combined. Don't overbeat, or the cupcakes will be tough.

In a small saucepan, cook chocolate and cream on low heat until chocolate is melted.  Keep mixing until smooth.  Add coffee granules and continue to mix until they have disappeared.

This was so easy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
