Coconut Caramel Cake.

Hello everybody.

Nobody’s coming to lunch today,as for me a cheese sandwiche is more than enough :).
But nevertheless I did a cake for my mother in-law cause her cousins are coming for coffee.
I actually paused before choosing a title for this cake. In my cook book it’s entitled Farrah’s Cake after the name of my friend’s sister in-law whom I got the recipe from. I guess coconut caramel describes it well also.
Note: this cake doesn’t contain flour in it, can be done to people on gluten free diet.

Ingredients and method:
* 5 eggs.
* 1/2 cup sugar.
* 3/4 cup vegetable oil.
* 1 cup powdered milk.
* 1/2 cup coconut.
* 1 spoon instant coffee.
* 1 tsp vanilla.
* 1 tsp baking powder.

* beat eggs, sugar, vanilla, oil and coffee.
* roast milk powder in a pan on low heat till golden.
* add them with baking powder to egg mixture.
* bake in a medium heated oven for 30-40 minutes .
Note: be careful when baking this cake.it’s very delicate and may fall down if you open the oven..
* decorate with caramel sauce or castor sugar.

Enjoy ♡♥.

Bounty Squares

Hello again.

My mother in law has visitors coming tomorrow afternoon, and I’m going out with my friends in the morning to celebrate our dear friend Reem’s birthday. So I will make two kinds of sweets today, better to save time.♡

I have this recipe from my beloved friend Abeer. It’s usually done in a pyrex but today i’ll make it in a spring pan and cut it to squares to be served with coffee instead of normal chocolate.

* 2 cups coconut.
* 2 spoons flour.
* 1 spoon corn flour.
* 1/2 cup sugar.
* 1 spoon butter.
* 2 cups milk.
* cooking chocolate.
* 1 spoon butter.
* 2 spoons peanut butter (optional).

Method:
* spread the biscuits as base un pan or pyrex.
* in a sauce pan, mix milk, coconut, sugar, flour, corn flour, butter and heat till mixture thickens.
* cool in fridge for 2-3 hours.
* in a water bath heat chocolate , add a bit of butter and milk and mix till creamy and totally melted.
* spread over coconut in a thin layer.
* leave to cool then cut to small squares or serve as it is in a pyrex.

Tastes a lot like Bounty for those who love it, I know I do♥

Chocolate Balls!!!!!!

Hello everybody…grocery day again,,, can’t believe how fast the week goes by…well, they say time flies when you’re having fun….frankly it’s been a fun week … (. حمدلله ).

Found fresh green beans today…though as usual one family member always objects when I cook it…ends up eating rice with tomato sauce, but it’s really a delicious healthy meal.plus very easy to make specially when using a pressure cooker….he or she who invented it is really a great man or woman….very useful and time saving.
You will need:
1/2 kg of lamb meat cut to cubes or big pieces with bones as you prefer.
1kg cut, washed green beans.
2 or 3 large ripe tomatoes.
2 cloves of garlic.
1 small onion.
2 big spoons tomato paste.
5 cups of water.
Salt.pepper. mixed spice.paprika.
1 big spoon olive oil.

In a pressure cooker or regular pan..heat the oil then add meat pieces, salt.pepper.spices. paprika, stirr well till meat is brownish and crispy.
Add the beans and keep stirring till it softens.
In a blender mix the onion, garlic, peeled tomatoes, tomato paste and water then pour it over the beans and meat..
You can add one more cup of water if the juice is too thick.then leave to boil for 30-40 minutes on low heat if in pressure cooker or for hour and half if in regular pan.. or till meat is well done.
Of course this dish is served with rice..today I made rice with small noodles (شعيريه ) I toasted it with vegetable oil and salt till golden.added the rice, mix them well together then added water till above rice by one inch.
When all water is absorbed lower the heat ,, I usually place a tin under the pan to keep heat very low and rice won’t burn, then leave till rice us done.
