Let's make Chocolate Cupcakes. This recipe is a keeper! INGREDIENTS 3 large eggs 115 grams (1/2 cup and 1 tablespoon) white granulated sugar 85 grams (3 oz.) dark chocolate 160 grams (3/4 cup) unsalted butter 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 65 grams (1/2 cup) all-purpose white flour A pinch of salt 14 grams (2 tablespoons) unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking powder RECIPE: Step 1 – Make the Batter - In a sifter, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Sift into a large bowl. - Place a separate bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Add the butter and dark chocolate in the bowl, and let them melt over this hot water bath, or what we call “bain-marie”. - Once melted, remove the bowl from the saucepan and place it on your kitchen counter. Stir together the butter and chocolate into a smooth mixture of heaven. - Add the sugar and a pinch of salt, and whisk with love until all ingredients are well integrated. - Add the eggs one at a time to the chocolate mixture while mixing with an eggbeater. - Next, add vanilla paste and continue beating for a few minutes until you get a smooth fluffy texture. - Add the dry mixture, little by little, to the chocolate heaven and use your spatula to fold the ingredients in a gentle circular movement, from top to bottom, so we keep the nice fluffy volume of the whipped eggs. Step 2 – Bake the Cupcakes - Place the batter in a piping bag and pipe it in cupcake liners that you already placed in your cupcake baking pan. - Fill the cupcakes liners 2/3 of the way full as the cupcakes will puff up when baked! - Bake in a preheated oven to 360 F / 180 C for about 25 minutes. - Once done, gently press in the center of the cupcakes. They should feel firm and springy. Step 3 – Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting - Watch the video on how to prepare the cream cheese frosting. Step 4 – Make it Yummy! - Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, top them with some yummy cream cheese frosting and sprinkle some goodness on top!

How to Steam Couscous / كيف تبخر الكسكس – CookingWithAlia – Episode 425

April 10, 2016 Howto & Style 0

Step-by-step video on how to steam couscous using a traditional couscous pot. INGREDIENTS: - 500 grams dry couscous (not instant) or barley couscous (Belboula) - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons butter (or Moroccan smen) - ½ teaspoon salt - Water RECIPE: Step 1: Boil Water - Fill the bottom part of the couscous pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. - Add a lemon to the water, to avoid the pot being stained with just boiling water. Step 2: Prepare Couscous - Place the couscous in a large plate; I am using the Moroccan traditional couscous plate called Gasaa. - Add some cold water, and work the couscous… lift the grains, rub them, give them some love and make sure they are all coated with water. - Place the couscous top over a plate, to minimize kitchen mess, and transfer the couscous in the couscous top. Don’t worry, the moist couscous grains wont fall through the holes… I promise. Step 3: Steam Couscous - Round 1 - After cooking the meat for 20 minutes, place the couscous top over the couscous bottom. Seal both pots with a cheesecloth or foil, this way we don’t lose any steam. - After 5 minutes of so, you will notice steam rising from the couscous. Now start your timer, and let the couscous steam for 15 minutes. - Time’s up! Empty the couscous in the large plate, and gently break the couscous grains with a fork. We dont want any lumps. - Add vegetable oil, and continue fluffing the couscous. - Add a large pinch of salt. Mix. - Now add a little bit of water, and continue fluffing, until each couscous grain is plump and happy. - Let the couscous rest while you start cooking the veggies! Step 4: Steam Couscous - Round 2 - We need to steam the couscous a second time. - Transfer the couscous in the couscous top and place it back on top of the boiling water. Seal both pots. - After 5 minutes of so, you will notice steam rising from the couscous. Now start your timer again, and let the couscous steam for 15 minutes. - Time’s up! Empty the couscous in the large plate, and you guessed it, fluffing time! - Add a little bit of water and gently break all the lumps with a fork…. Or your hands if you can stand the heat! - Let the couscous rest for 5 minutes. Step 5: Steam Couscous - Round 3 - This is the 3rd and final steaming of the couscous. - Transfer the couscous in the couscous top and place it back on top of the boiling water. Seal both pots. - After 5 minutes of so, you will notice steam rising from the couscous. Now start your timer again, and let the couscous steam for 15 minutes or until done. If you taste the couscous grains, you will actually know when they are ready… they just feel cooked. - By the way, you can cook barley couscous called Belboula the same exact way. However, it will take a little longer to cook, so leave it in the 3rd steaming until the barley couscous tastes ready. - Once done. Empty the couscous in the large plate, and fluff again… but this time just with butter (or Moroccan Smen)! - Look at these little grains of happiness… they smell like home. Your cooked couscous or barley couscous is ready to be used in recipes requiring it!
