Banana Bread

The first time I heard about the banana bread I was in Nottingham, during my Erasmus (the best experience of my life) and I liked it so much that I've talked about it for ages. I really love the banana flavour in this treat, because it's not too strong, but it gives it something special. It is delicious, simply.

Ingredients

4 Ripe Bananas

2 Eggs

Flour 200 gr

Brown Sugar 100 gr

Butter 80 gr

Greek Yogurt 40 gr

1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Baking Powder 6 gr
Baking Soda 3 gr

Lemon Juice

Walnuts

Salt

• Squeeze the peeled bananas with a fork, and sprinkle with a few drops of lemon juice in order not to turn black.  
• Put the softened butter and sugar in a bowl and mix with a whisk.  
• Then add the eggs, mix the ingredients and add a pinch of salt.  
• Add the squeezed bananas and mix together.
• Now add the sifted flour, the bakind powder, the cinnamon and the walnuts (how much you like).
• Use a plumcake mold with the baking paper and pour the mixture in.
• Bake in pre-heated oven at 180° for 50 minutes.

Cheesecake Brownies

The cheesecake is a wonderful treat, and so are the brownies, so why not combine the two recipes? In some recipes there is the philadelphia instead of the ricotta, so you can choose what you prefer. It's a very good sweet to share with friends or to eat at breakfast.

Base

Dark Chocolate  200 gr.

Butter 130 gr.

Sugar 200 gr.

Eggs  3

Flour 100 gr.

Vanilla Extract 

Cream

Ricotta Cheese 250 gr.

Egg 1

Sugar 1 tsp

Flour 2 tbsp

• In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate with the butter.
• Transfer to a bowl and combine sugar, flour, eggs and mix well.
• Prepare the cream. Place in a bowl the ricotta, egg, sugar, flour and some vanilla extract.
• Line the baking sheet with the baking paper and pour in the chocolate mixture.
• Pour the cream and, with a toothpick, make circles in order to mix the two creams together.   
• Bake in oven at 180 degrees for 35 minutes.
• When cold, cut into cubes.

Orange Plumcake

I don't post sweet recipes very often, so I've thought that this is the right moment for it! This recipe is not complicated but I like it very much. The orange flavour adds that little extra something that makes this cake special.

Ingredients

Flour 250 gr.

Butter 170 gr.

Sugar 250 gr.

Eggs 4

Milk 50 gr.

Orange juice and zest 1

Baking powder 16 gr./3 teaspoons

• Place in a bowl the sugar and the orange zest and mix it with the whisk.
• Now add the eggs and the butter, which must be room-temperature and soft. Whisk.
• Add the milk, the orange jucie, the flour and the baking powder.It is better to sieve the flour with the baking powder. In this way they mix together.
• Preheat the oven at 170°.  Then, take a cake pan and you can choose whether or not to grease the pan or to use the baking paper.
• Put into the oven for 45 minutes.
• When it is cold, sprinkle with the icing sugar.

Hope you like it!

Chocolate Yogurt Cake

Good Sunday to all of you!

Do you remember my "yogurt cake" recipe? This is the chocolate version! As the other one, is very very easy, you have just to put the ingredients together! Very important: the unit of measurement of this recipe is the yogurt pot! So when I'll write 3/4 of oil, I'll mean 3/4 of a yogurt pot. Anyway, if you are not sure about something, just tell me!

Ingredients

1 yogurt

2 and half yogurt pot of flour

0,5 (half) pot of cocoa powder

1 and half of sugar

3/4 of oilseed

2 eggs

16 gr yeast (2 tbsp of the dry one)

Vanillin

Salt

Now you have to put all these ingredients together and mix them until the mixture will become creamy. Then, take a cake pan and you can choose whether or not to grease the pan or to use the baking paper. Then preheat the oven at 180° (celsius) and let cook for about 30 minutes. Check the cake in order not to burn it :)

Hope you like this recipe!
