written by recipesinfamily

Dive into a world of mouthwatering indulgence with our Luscious Vanilla Bliss Cake layered with creamy cheesecake. Perfect for festivities or an everyday treat, this cake captures the heart of every dessert lover. Its soft vanilla sponge paired with a velvety cheesecake filling is nothing short of perfection. Every bite promises a burst of flavor and a delightful texture.

Ingredients: Crafting the Perfect Cake

For the Vanilla Sponge:

Egg Yolks: 3 – Adds richness and color.

Egg Whites: 4 – For a fluffy and light texture.

Sugar: 120 grams (approx. 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp) – For the right touch of sweetness.

Milk: 85 ml (6 tbsp) – Ensures a moist cake.

Butter (or Oil): 40 grams (3 tbsp) – For a tender crumb.

All-Purpose Flour: 120 grams (3/4 cup + 2 tbsp) – The foundation of our sponge.

Baking Powder: 1 tsp – For a good rise.

Vanilla: 1 tsp – That classic flavor we all love.

Lemon Zest: From half a lemon – A hint of zest to elevate the flavor.

Salt: A pinch – To balance out the sweetness.

For the Cheesecake Filling:

Philadelphia Cream Cheese: 350 grams (13 ounces) – The star of our filling.

Heavy Cream: 175 grams (6.5 ounces) – Adds creaminess and structure.

Powdered Sugar: 80 grams (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp) – For a sweet balance.

Vanilla: 3/4 tsp – To enhance the cream cheese flavor.

Salt: A pinch – To round off the taste.

Step-by-Step Guide: Creating the Luscious Vanilla Bliss Cake

The Vanilla Sponge Foundation: Begin with your egg yolks in a vast bowl. Introduce vanilla, the zesty lemon zest, melted butter, and whole milk. Mix well, ensuring everything combines harmoniously. Then, incorporate the dry ingredients without over-mixing. Once the flour is moistened, set this mixture aside.

Egg White Magic: In a separate bowl, whip up your egg whites. The addition of cream of tartar (or lemon juice) stabilizes these whites. As they start forming soft peaks, gradually introduce the sugar. You’ll know they’re ready when they reach a stiff peak.

Combining the Two: Add a portion of the whipped egg whites to the batter to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the rest, ensuring you maintain its airy structure.

Baking Time: Transfer your batter to a well-greased baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 140°C (350°F) for about 10-12 minutes. Remember, the toothpick test will guide you—once it comes out clean, your sponge is ready.

Creating the Cheesecake Filling: Start with cold cream cheese in a bowl. Add vanilla and whisk briefly. Introduce sugar and mix. It’s crucial to keep the cream cheese cold, so when you add the heavy cream, the texture remains impeccable. Whisk until you achieve a creamy, luscious cheesecake frosting that can hold its own.

Layering the Delight: Once your sponge cake cools, divide it into four equal pieces. Lay one piece down, generously spread the cheesecake filling, then place another layer on top. Repeat until all layers are stacked. You can choose to frost the entire cake or keep it simple with layers.

When you take a bite of this Luscious Vanilla Bliss Cake, you’ll understand why it stands out. The fusion of the soft sponge and creamy cheesecake filling offers a dance of textures and flavors that’s hard to resist.

written by recipesinfamily

Picture this: a serene evening, the table is set, and at its heart is a basket filled with golden rolls, emitting a sweet aroma of honey and butter. Introducing the Honey-Butter Bliss Milk Dinner Rolls, a delicacy that promises the softest, fluffiest, and most flavorful experience. These rolls have a texture so delicate that they spring back to their original form when pressed. The magic lies in the fusion of honey and butter, making every bite an orchestra of flavors.

Ingredients:

  • 200 ml milk (a little over 3/4 cup) – the liquid magic
  • 10 gr (1 tbsp) instant yeast – the rising star
  • 50 gr (3 1/3 tbsp) sugar, out of which 10 gr or 2/3 tbsp will be used for the yeast bloom
  • 7 gr (1 1/3 tsp) salt – a hint to balance
  • 1 large egg – binding and richness
  • 400 gr (2 3/4 cups) bread flour – the canvas of our rolls
  • 4 tbsp (1/2 stick) butter – a touch of opulence
  • 2 tbsp honey – nature’s nectar

Instructions:

Begin with milk’s warmth: heat the 200 ml milk for about 30-40 seconds in a microwave. In this lukewarm embrace, add 10 grams of sugar, ensuring it dissolves completely. Introduce the yeast, give it a gentle stir, cover, and let it bloom for around 5 minutes.

As the yeast dances and froths, melt the butter in a separate bowl. To this liquid gold, add honey, salt, the remaining sugar, and an egg. Blend well, ensuring a harmonious mix.

In the majestic arena of a mixing bowl, lay down the bread flour. Gently pour in the milk-yeast potion and the butter-honey mixture.

With the grace of a maestro, set your mixer to a gentle stir for a minute. Gradually increase the tempo to a moderate speed, letting the ingredients waltz for about 10-12 minutes.

As they dance, prepare a container with a light greasing. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest, doubling or even tripling in size, in a slightly warm oven for about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Once risen like the morning sun, bring out the dough. Deflate gently and divide into 12 even balls. Position them in a greased baking pan, and let them rise once more in the oven, ensuring they fill their stage.

The final act: bake these budding stars in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-17 minutes. Their golden hue will be a sight to behold.

For an encore, brush them with melted butter right out of the oven, sealing in their exquisite aroma and flavor.

There you have it, the Honey-Butter Bliss Milk Dinner Rolls, a testament to the timeless love affair between honey, butter, and bread. Ideal for any gathering or a quiet evening meal, these rolls promise to be the highlight of your dining table.

Decadent Triple-Ingredient Chocolate Biscuit Delight

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

Ingredients:

Digestive Biscuits: 250 grams (You can also opt for instant oatmeal for a twist)

Instant Coconut Milk/Regular Milk/Heavy Cream: 400 ml

Chocolate Bars (preferably dark for a rich taste): 200 grams

Instructions:

Chocolate Prep: Start by chopping 200 grams of dark chocolate into small chunks. The smaller the chunks, the easier they’ll melt. Transfer these chunks into a spacious mixing bowl.

Creamy Cascade: In a saucepan, pour in your choice of 400ml of heavy cream or coconut milk. Set the heat to medium and continuously stir to prevent any burns or formations of a film. As the milk edges towards boiling, remove it from the flame. Gently pour this heated milk over the chocolate chunks. This is the beginning of your velvety journey.

The Stirring Session: Employ a spatula and mix the milk and chocolate until you achieve a glossy, seamless chocolate ganache. If the chocolate resists melting completely, a hot water bath can come to the rescue. Simply place your bowl over simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water, and continue stirring until the chocolate yields to a melt.

Biscuit Blitz: Now, for the crunchy twist. Take 250 grams of digestive biscuits. If you wish to experiment, instant oatmeal is a worthy substitute. Place your chosen ingredient in a Ziplock bag, sealing out the air. With the help of a rolling pin, channel your inner baker and crush them until they’re reduced to small, crunchy bits. Introduce these crushed morsels to your chocolate ganache and mix until every piece is generously coated with chocolate.

Setting the Stage: For this recipe, an 8 cm springform pan is ideal. Line its bottom with parchment paper. To ensure an easy release, lightly brush the bottom and sides with some oil or butter. Pour your chocolate-biscuit mix into the pan, smoothing the top for an even surface. Cling film comes in handy now, as it will cover your concoction. Into the refrigerator, it goes, for a minimum of 3 hours. Overnight chilling is recommended for best results.

The Final Touch: Once your cake has set firmly, it’s time to give it a regal touch. Begin by heating about 50ml of milk till it’s just about to boil. In a separate bowl, have 80 grams of chocolate chunks ready. Pour the hot milk over these chunks and stir continuously to achieve a smooth melted chocolate mix. This divine mix is then poured over your cake. Use a spatula to ensure it’s spread evenly on the top and sides. A quick 30-minute refrigerator stint will set the ganache.

Serving with Flair: Release your masterpiece from the springform pan, placing it on a grand serving plate. Elevate its elegance with some chocolate shavings sprinkled on top.

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

Introduce yourself to the world of delightful baking with these Milky Muffins. Crafted with love and simplicity, they are the epitome of soft, fluffy goodness. The addition of condensed milk gives them a unique richness, setting them apart from your average cupcakes. Whether you’re an amateur baker or a seasoned pro, this recipe will guide you effortlessly to muffin nirvana.

Ingredients: The Essence of Milky Goodness

Cake Flour: 50g (about 6 tbsp) – This will give our muffins a soft and tender crumb.

Cooking Oil: 45g (approximately 10 tsp) – Helps keep the muffins moist.

Condensed Milk: 30g (around 1.5 tbsp) – The secret ingredient for that milky richness.

Eggs: 4 – Providing structure and moisture.

Sugar: 35g (about 3 tbsp) – Just enough to sweeten without overpowering.

Cornstarch: 5g (1/2 tbsp) – Aids in giving the muffins a soft texture.

Lemon Juice: A few drops – To stabilize the egg whites while beating.

Baking Temperatures: Begin at 125°C (260°F) and finish at 150°C (300°F).

Muffin Pan: A 12-cup standard muffin pan.

Instructions: Crafting Your Milky Delights

Start with Flour: In a spacious mixing bowl, sift your 50 grams of cake flour. This will ensure there are no lumps and will give the muffins a smooth texture.

Oil Preparation: Take a small saucepan and add your 45 ml of cooking oil. Microwave it for two minutes to heat it up.

Mix Flour and Oil: Once your oil is hot, pour it over the sifted flour in your mixing bowl. Combine them thoroughly.

Introduce Condensed Milk: Add 30 ml of condensed milk to your mixture. This will give your muffins their signature milky taste. Mix well to incorporate.

Egg Time: Crack one whole egg into your batter. Mix it in until it’s fully incorporated. For the remaining three eggs, separate the whites from the yolks. Add the yolks to your batter, mixing after each addition.

Whip the Egg Whites: In a clean, grease-free bowl, place your egg whites. Add a few drops of lemon juice. This will stabilize the whites as you beat them. Using an electric mixer on high speed, whip the egg whites until they start forming soft peaks.

Sweeten the Whites: Gradually add your 35 grams of sugar to the beaten egg whites in three parts, beating continuously on medium speed. Once all the sugar is added, turn your mixer to medium-low speed and continue beating until you achieve stiff peaks.

Combine for Fluffiness: Take a third of your whipped egg whites (meringue) and gently fold it into your batter using a spatula. Once incorporated, pour your main batter into the bowl with the remaining meringue. Gently fold until smooth and no streaks remain.

Prepare for Baking: Line your 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Pour your batter into each cup, filling them about 80% full to allow for rising.

Baking: Place your muffin pan in a preheated oven set at 125°C (260°F). Bake for 45 minutes. After this, increase the temperature to 150°C (300°F) and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.

Cooling: Once baked to perfection, remove your muffins from the oven. Transfer them onto a wire rack, allowing them to cool down before indulging.

written by recipesinfamily

Close your eyes and imagine the delightful aroma of fresh oranges combined with the warm, inviting scent of baking. Enter the realm of the Citrus Symphony, a luscious butter orange cake that promises a sensory experience unlike any other. Rooted in Italian tradition, this cake is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a delightful afternoon treat. Its light, melt-in-the-mouth texture, combined with a burst of orange flavor, is reminiscent of sun-kissed Italian mornings.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250 grams) pastry/ cake flour – a refined choice for a delicate crumb
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder – our rising star
  • 1 pinch salt – to balance and enhance
  • 1 cup (230 grams) butter, softened to perfection
  • Zest from 2 oranges (about 2-3 tablespoons) – the heart of our citrus melody
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar – a sweet symphony
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature – for a velvety blend
  • 1 large egg yolk, room temperature – an extra touch of richness
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla – a whisper of aromatic sweetness
  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons (90 grams) milk, room temperature – for a smooth batter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed orange juice – the citrus encore

For the Glaze (optional but recommended):

  • 1-2 cups powdered sugar (sifted) (120-240 grams) – for a snowy touch
  • 2-3 tablespoons fresh orange juice – the final citrus note

Instructions:

Begin with the backdrop: preheat your oven to 350F (180C). Embrace the warmth as you lovingly grease and flour an 8-inch cake pan. The parchment paper is a good friend here; it ensures a hassle-free release later.

In a serene medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This dry mix is the canvas upon which our masterpiece will be painted.

With zest and zeal, beat the butter and orange zest in a spacious bowl. Once creamy, serenade it with sugar, and beat till they’re harmoniously blended.

Eggs join this musical, one by one, with the yolk adding its rich notes. The vanilla is the subtle background score, binding everything together.

The dry mix from earlier now takes the stage, in two acts. Post its performance, the milk and orange juice make their entry, wrapping up the pre-baking concert.

With grace, transfer this melody of ingredients into the prepped pan. Let it bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick plays its part and emerges clean.

As it cools, whisk together the glaze. Drizzle it over, letting it cascade down the cake’s sides, and there you have it – the Citrus Symphony, ready to be savored.

In every bite of this Butter Orange Cake, there’s a story – of tradition, flavors, and the joy of baking. Whether you’re reminiscing about a past trip to Italy or creating new memories, this cake is sure to be a hit.

Ultra-Soft No-Fuss Bread Rolls

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

Ingredients:

Dried Yeast: 1 tablespoon

Superfine or Caster Sugar: 1/4 cup + 2 teaspoons

Warm Water: 1/2 cup

Flour: 4 cups (sifted)

Milk: 1 cup

Melted Butter: 3.5 tablespoons + extra for brushing

Eggs: 2 (beaten)

Instructions:

Yeast Activation: Commence by taking a large mixing bowl and adding in the dried yeast. Introduce the 2 teaspoons of superfine sugar, followed by the warm water. Using a fork, amalgamate the ingredients thoroughly. Set it aside for about 5 minutes, allowing it to become frothy and thickened.

Preparing the Dry Mix: In another expansive bowl, sift in the 4 cups of flour. This sifting process ensures the eventual fluffiness of your bread rolls. Introduce the 1/4 cup of sugar and stir until uniformly mixed.

Wet Ingredients Fusion: In a jug, combine the milk and 3.5 tablespoons of melted butter. This not only melts the butter but also brings both ingredients to an even temperature. Add in the beaten eggs and the previously prepared yeast mixture.

Combining Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the well you made in the dry mix. With gentle hands, use a spatula or spoon to blend the two. Aim for a sticky dough consistency but avoid overmixing. As you near the end, it’s beneficial to use your hands to ensure everything is well-combined.

The Waiting Game: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and position it in a warm spot. Allow it to rise for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. The dough should nearly triple in size.

Shaping the Rolls: After the rising period, deflate the dough gently and transfer it to a floured work surface. Shape it into a rectangle and portion it into 12 equal parts. If you prefer slider-sized rolls, you can make them slightly smaller. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.

Second Rise: Position the shaped rolls onto a baking tray, ensuring they are closely packed. Cover with a cloth and let them sit for an additional 45 minutes to rise again.

Baking: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Once ready, bake the rolls for about 15 minutes or until they boast a golden-brown hue.

Finishing Touch: Upon removal from the oven, brush the tops of the rolls with some melted butter. This imparts a glossy finish and adds a touch of richness.

Serve and Enjoy: Tear these Ultra-Soft No-Fuss Bread Rolls apart to reveal their fluffy insides. Best enjoyed fresh, these rolls can be paired with butter, jams, or any spread of your choice.

Exquisite Cream Cheese Butter Bliss Cake

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

Ingredients:

Unsalted Butter (Softened to room temperature): 225 grams (1 cup)

Cream Cheese (Softened to room temperature): 150 grams (3/4 cup)

Granulated Sugar: 350 grams (1 3/4 cup)

Vanilla Extract: 2 tsp

Zest of lemon/orange (Optional): To taste

Eggs: 4

All Purpose Flour: 260 grams (2 cups)

Baking Powder: 1 tsp

Baking Soda: 1/4 tsp

Salt: 1/4 tsp

Cheddar cheese for toppings (Optional): As required

Instructions:

Preparation: Start by setting the stage. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease your preferred baking pan and give it a light dusting of flour. This ensures easy cake release once baked.

Butter & Cheese Fusion: In a large mixing bowl, take the softened butter and beat it for about 30 seconds, ensuring a smooth texture. To this, incorporate room-temperature cream cheese. Blend the two together for another 30 seconds, or until they meld into a unified creamy base.

Sugar Rush: While ensuring a steady medium speed on your mixer, introduce the granulated sugar gradually. As you add the sugar, the mixture will attain a fluffy consistency, signaling the perfect blend.

Flavor Infusion: For an additional layer of zest and aroma, infuse your batter with either lemon or orange zest. Follow it up with the vanilla extract. Beat the ensemble on medium speed for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture is airy and light.

Egg Integration: With the mixer still running on medium speed, add the eggs one at a time. Ensure each egg is well incorporated before adding the next.

Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Lightly whisk to combine. Gradually blend this dry mixture into your wet ingredients. It’s crucial to mix on low speed to prevent overbeating. Once the flour is nearly combined, switch to a spatula and fold the batter until smooth.

Baking Time: Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan, ensuring an even spread. For an added touch of savory, sprinkle some cheddar cheese on top. Bake in your preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes.

Cooling Phase: Once baked to perfection, let your Cream Cheese Butter Bliss Cake rest in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then, gently invert it onto a wire rack, allowing it to cool completely.

Serving Suggestion: This cake stands out in its simplicity. However, if you desire a touch of added sweetness, a light dusting of powdered sugar can work wonders.

Instructions: Crafting the Ultimate Chocolate Cake

Initial Preparations: Begin by warming your oven to a moderate 350 degrees Fahrenheit. As your oven reaches the desired temperature, prepare cake pans by greasing them, lining the bottom with parchment paper, and then greasing the paper itself.

Sift and Mix: In a substantial mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Add in both the brown and white sugar and whisk them together until you achieve a uniform mixture.

Liquid Gold: In separate vessels, mix the egg yolk and slowly drizzle in oil. As it thickens, introduce the vanilla extract and continue adding oil until fully incorporated. Combine the eggs and whisk them all together.

Cooling Phase: Once baked, transfer the cakes onto a wire rack and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes. Unmold them carefully.

Frosting Fun: For the chocolate frosting, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and sea salt in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually beat in the sugar mixture. Add milk in batches to achieve the desired consistency.

Assembly: Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of frosting on one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and then frost the top and sides. For a gourmet touch, grate some dark chocolate on top.

Rest and Indulge: Ideally, allow the cake to rest for a couple of hours or even overnight to let the flavors meld. This cake is best enjoyed at room temperature, so if refrigerated, ensure to let it sit out for a while before serving.

Luscious Lemon-Raspberry Cupcake Euphoria

by recipesinfamily
written by recipesinfamily

Ingredients:

For the Cupcake:

All-purpose flour: 1 and 2/3 cups (210 g)

Baking powder: 1/2 teaspoon

Baking soda: 1/4 teaspoon

Salt: 1/2 teaspoon

Eggs (room temperature): 2

White sugar: 1 cup (200 g)

Unsalted butter (melted): 1/2 cup (115 g)

Pure vanilla extract: 2 teaspoons

Lemon zest: 1 Tablespoon

Lemon juice (approx. from 1 lemon): 55 ml

Milk (room temperature): 3/4 cup (180 ml)

For the Raspberry Filling:

Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon

Raspberries (fresh or frozen): 1 and 1/2 cups

White sugar: 1/3 cup (70 g)

Instructions:

Crafting the Raspberry Heart: Begin with the raspberry filling. Blend 2 tablespoons of water with cornstarch in a small dish. In a saucepan, simmer raspberries, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of water over medium-high heat. As the berries disintegrate (around 10 minutes), ensure occasional stirring. If you prefer a smoother, seedless sauce, pass it through a sieve. Blend the cornstarch mixture with the raspberry purée, stirring for another 2 minutes until it thickens. Set it aside to cool.

Cupcake Creation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and arrange a muffin tray with cupcake liners. In a spacious bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, ensuring not to overmix. Infuse the batter with lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk, whisking until just combined. Distribute the batter among the cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick emerges clean from the center. Allow the cupcakes to cool.

The Grand Finale – Filling: Using a sharp knife, fashion a small, circular cavity in the middle of each cooled cupcake, about 1/2 inch deep. Inject a teaspoon of the raspberry filling into each pocket. Replace the carved-out cupcake piece to seal the treasure within. Repeat for each cupcake.
