PUMPKIN MUFFIN

This morning I made pumpkin muffin because my mixer is broken and we are out of bread;) Since it is snowing I am too lazy to go out and get some bread.

Voila....the healthy pumpkin muffin, no mixer needed and they will be good enough for lunch today!


Ingredients:

15 oz pumpkin (in a can)
2 cup flour
1/2 cup raisin
1/3 cup water
2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
8 oz honey (you may subtitute with brown sugar)


Instructions:

Mix all ingredients, water should be added last so you could get the feel if you need more or less.

Preheat oven to 375F and bake for 20 minutes, this makes 14 muffins, yeah...

Enjoy!

MY CHILDHOOD MARBLE CAKE

Today I decided to go back to my childhood time and baked our family marble cake. Very popular in Indonesia. When I was a child, I used the drinking glass as my measurement instead of a real "cup". It works all the time :)


Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk
3 eggs
2 tsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder


Mix butter and sugar, add milk, egg, vanilla, baking powder with a mixer.

Add flour, continue mixing with a lower speed or use a spatula.

Pour batter into greased pan, leave 4 tsp to be mixed with 2 tsp cocoa powder. Pour the cocoa batter to the pan and bake for about 30 minutes at 350F.

Enjoy!
