Easy Pineapple Upside Down Cake

I made this using a vanilla cake mix because there are days when you want to eat something fancy but do not feel like measuring and sifting, and it was exactly a day like that ;) . So I thought I'd share this with you guys.

Easy Pineapple Upside Down Cake Recipe




Ingredients:

1 vanilla cake mix (plus eggs and oil as per the box)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 can pineapple slices drained (keep the syrup aside to use instead of water for the cake mix)
cherries (if you dont have thats fine coz it just gives a bit of color and a fancy touch)

How to:

Preheat oven and grease pan as per instructions on cake mix

Mix the cake better substituting water with the sugar syrup from the pineapple

Heat sugar and water in cake pan over the stove just like how you make the caramel for puddings.

When sugar syrup is a bit browned take off stove and arrange pineapple slices on it. If you have cherries insert them in the middle of the pinepple slices.

Bake as per cake mix and cool.

Flip the cake on the serving plate and voila! A fancy dessert for a lazy day.



Happy tea time guys :)

Nutella Brownies

I was browsing for some easy nutella brownies and a super easy recipe popped up which I just had to try. The only ingredients needed were eggs and nutella! How easy could this get.

It came out all chocolaty and delicious. If you have a jar of nutella and some eggs try this immediately :)

2 Ingredient Nutella Brownies Recipe



Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup nutella


How to:

Line a small cake tray (small because if you use a large tray the brownies will end up too thin) with baking paper and preheat your oven to 150 degrees Celsius.

Crack eggs into a bowl and mix with an electric mixer (easier but if you dont have you can always use hand power ;) ) until eggs become frothy and fluff upto almost double the size.

Warm nutella in microwave or double boil method (put the nutella in a small metal bowl and heat in a saucepan with hot water on the stove).

Pour warm nutella into the egg mixture and mix well until thoroughly combined.

Pour batter onto tray and bake for about 30 minutes or until when toothpick comes clean when inserted into brownies.

Take out from oven and let it cool. Cut into bars and start eating

You can eat it straightaway, sprinkle powdered sugar on top or top with icecream. The possibilities are endless :)
