Watching Nigella Lawson cook is just amazing! I’m a huge fan of hers, specially the way she flirts with food! And the various adjectives she uses while cooking. She definitely is, among the prettiest cookery show host and its so much fun watching her! We are a family of fans Me, my sisters and niece. We love Nigella! I have prepared many of her recipes,cakes and desserts predominantly. I was craving for cheese cake this thursday and voila Nigella shares her recipe of the chocolate lime cheesecake!
A family get together on the cards I decide to bake it up! I make the cheesecake, along with cup cakes a variety of them. Choco chip vanilla cupcakes, vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with mint, rose and chocolate frosting!All this under 3 hours. It’s not tough,though it sounds like a lot of work.
The lime cheese cake with chocolate base can be found here I clicked a few pictures, my first images with a try of white balance I hope it looks good. Comments /suggestions/criticisms are appreciated.I have sprinkled a few chocolate chips over it and it tasted yum with the tangy lime cheese cake melting in your mouth!We cut this cake at 1 am and even though i carried my camera, i forgot to take a picture of a cut slice! Darn! I now have to make it all over again.(*yay*)
The cup cake recipe is the usual simple cupcake, I made one batch and then divided into 3 with chocolate chips in one,melted chocolate in another and kept the last bit plain.
The Recipe–
225 grams self-raising flour
225 grams butter
225 grams castor sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essence
Beat the butter and sugar to a creamy mixture and add flour with eggs, sift in baking powder ,add vanilla essence, Mix them together and make 3 portions.
Add 100 grams of chocolate chips into one, 100 grams of melted chocolate into another/or cocoa powder(2 tbsp).
Pour into cupcake cases, takes 15-20 minutes to bake.
Also my try with frosting I used the icing pipe for the first time, I need to get better at it! More desi recipes coming up!
