Hello everybody
No intention at all to do a cake or dessert cause we’re all trying to cut down sugars , at least try, but my mother in-law gave these dates she didn’t like cause they ‘re too sweet so I thought i’d do this cake with them and send her most of it.
Recipe is easy so is the cake specially if you eat it with ice cream and sauce.
Ingredients and method:
* In a deep bowl soak dates,molasses,baking soda,ginger and cinnamon in the boiling water.
*Beat butter,oil and sugar till creamy.
*Add eggs one at a time at a time then vanilla.
*Add flour and baking powder.
*Add walnuts and date mixture and mix with wooden spoon.
Butterscotch sauce:
1/2 cup brown sugar.
1 tablespoon butter.
1 pack cream
2 tablespoons maple syrup.
Mix all ingredients together and heat till heat till sugar dissolves then simmer for 2 minutes.
keep warm .

Hello everybody.
Unfortunately not a bite from yesterday is left so I had to cook something today specially that my son has finals and wanted to eat quickly and go out to study.
So after searching for what to do I grabbed a pack of pasta and quickly made white sauce and some meat tomato sauce then fixed a big pan of bachemel pasta for today and tomorrow as well.
When done I made a lovely cherry cake upon my husband’s request, it’s been a while since I baked something, love this one it’s amazing with tea and coffee.

Hello everybody and Happy Independence Day to all.
To live the spirit of today’s celebration we started with a colorful breakfast decorated with Jordanian symbols. Bagels with cream cheese, labaneh and peanut butter jam filling.
Lunch was old fashioned green za’tar tomatoes fatayer or pastries.
Dessert was a beautiful Jordan’s flag colored cake, made four layers of colored batter then assembled all with cream and fruit salad, like a rainbow cake but with different colors.
Enjoy your day off, God bless Jordan his King Queen and people.
Happy Independence Day.
Hello everybody.
ً Went out to celebrate my friend’s birthday this morning to the Boulevard-Abdali ,first time for me to go and I was really impressed, beautiful place and scenery, didn’t expect it to be like this.
Birthday cake was a new recipe “Lemon Velvet Cake ” very similar to the red velvet but with lemons, really delicious and fresh,will definitely be on my favorite list.
Ingredients and method :
# 3 eggs.
# 11/2 cups suger.
# 1/3 cup margarine or butter.
# 2/3 cup vegetable oil.
# zest and juice of one big lemon.
# 1 tsp lemon essence (optional)
# 1/2 cup yogurt.
# 1/2 cup milk.
# 1 tsp vanilla.
#3 tsp baking powder.
# 3 cups flour.
Frosting :
# 3/4 cup butter.
# 2 cups icing sugar.
# some lemon zest.
# juice of half a lemon.
# some milk.
Note: I think next time I’ll make cream cheese frosting with lemons it’ll be better, this one is good but too rich in butter.
#Beat oil, butter and sugar till creamy then add eggs, yogurt, milk, vanilla.
#add lemon zest and juice.
# add baking powder and flour.
# pour batter in two small round oven pans.
# bake in a moderate heated oven for 35-40 minutes or till dry from inside.
# leave to cool then assemble two cakes with frosting in between and all over.
# decorate with lemon zest or roasted coconut.
Happened that I have two chocolate decorations one for a girl graduate and the other a boy which were so convenient cause my friend has both occasions for her children aside from her birthday.
Congratulations lovely Fufu and many happy returns.
