3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (1/3 cup) 1 teaspoon fine salt 12 ounces pilsner beer, such as Miller High Life or Pabst Blue Ribbon 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels, thawed if frozen (about 6 1/2 ounces) 1/2 cup coarsely chopped pickled jalapeos (about 2 ounces) 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted, plus more for coating the pan
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oven to 350F and arrange a rack in the middle. Generously coat a metal 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter; set aside. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl until aerated and any large lumps are broken up; set aside. Add the beer, corn, jalapeos, and 3 tablespoons of the melted butter to the flour mixture. Stir until the flour is just incorporated (do not over mix). The batter will be very thick. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan, pushing it into the corners and smoothing the top. Drizzle the top with the remaining tablespoon of butter. Bake until light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, about 60 to 65 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes. Run a knife around the perimeter of the bread and turn it out onto the rack. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes more before slicing.
Whole wheat flour/Atta - 1 1/2 cups Oats - 3/4 cup Cocoa powder - 2 tbsp Baking powder - 1 tsp Dark Chocolate - 150 gms, melted and cooled Dark Brown Sugar - 4 tbsp [I used white sugar] Milk - 2 cups Sunflower Oil - 5 tbsp
Method Preheat oven to 180C--Grease/line an 8' square cake pan. In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, oats, cocoa powder and baking powder. In another bowl, mix together milk, sugar and oil. Mix the liquid ingredients into the flour mix slowly. Fold in the melted chocolate. Transfer the batter into the pan and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake for 30 minutes, the centre will still be soft at this stage. Place the pan on a rack and cool completely in the pan[believe me,this is the hardest part!!] When completely cool,cut into 16 squares.
Flour - 1 cup Cocoa Powder - 1/4 cup + 2Tbsp Baking soda - 1/2 tsp Salt - 1/4 tsp Butter - 100 gms Brown Sugar - 1 1/4 cups Eggs - 2 Vanilla extract - 1 tsp Hot water - 1/2 cup
Method Preheat oven to 180C.Grease/line a cupcake tray.(the recipe makes 12 cupcakes). Sift together the dry ingredients (this step is optional,I did it out of practice). Melt the butter in a pan and let it cool. Mix in the brown sugar and beat well using a wooden spoon. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Dump in the dry ingredients all at once and mix till everything comes together and you get a smooth batter. Pour in the hot water and mix using a spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake tray and bake for 20-25 minutes or till the cupcakes rise and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
Ingredients
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
1/2 cup (4 oz) packed brown sugar 1/4 cup (2oz) white sugar 1 stick (4 oz) unsalted butter, softened 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup (5 oz) all-purpose flour
1 cup (5 oz) whole wheat flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup (4 oz) milk 2 to 2 1/2 cups pears, unpeeled and diced small (2 medium-sized pears, about 11 oz whole) Cinnamon-and-Sugar for sprinkling on top Optional: 1/4 cup chopped candied ginger, 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Heat your oven to 425F. Spray the top of your muffin tin with non-stick coating and place muffin cups in all the wells. In a mixer on high speed, cream together the sugars and the softened butter until they resemble fluffy frosting, about 1 minute. Mix in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, about 1 minute each. Mix in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, mix 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter-sugar mixture followed by 1/3 of the milk. Continue alternating between the flour and the milk, mixing just until the flour is incorporated. It's ok if there is still some flour on the sides of the bowl. Do not over-mix. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula and stir gently to incorporate the last of the flour. Add the diced pears all at once and fold them into the batter [http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/tips-techniques/tips-and-techniques-folding-048281]. Divide the batter between the muffin cups. The batter will fill the cups and mound slightly on top. Sprinkle the tops with cinnamon and sugar. Place the muffin tin in the oven and immediately turn down the heat to 400F. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pan once in the middle of baking. The muffins are done with the tops looked cracked and toasted, and when a toothpick inserted in the middle of one of the muffins comes out clean. Let the muffins cool enough to handle, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Leftover muffins can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or frozen for up to three months. (Reheat frozen muffins in an oven or toaster oven at 300 or for a few minutes in the microwave)
These dark, crazy moist muffins will keep well for several days, and the brown sugar on top, should you not skimp on it like I did, adds a crunchy touch, perfect for those of you who know that the lid is the best part.
1 cup (4 ounces) whole wheat flour 1 cup (4 1/4 ounces) all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1/2 cup (1 stick, 4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, packed, divided 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1 cup (8 ounces) buttermilk or yogurt 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
Preheat the oven to 450F. Grease and flour 18 muffin cups and set aside. Mix together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and set aside. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar. Beat until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well; stop once to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. Mix in the buttermilk gently. (If you over-mix, the buttermilk will cause the mixture to curdle.) Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the apple chunks. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, sprinkling the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar on top. Bake for 10 minutes, turn the heat down to 400F, and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool the muffins for 5 minutes in the tin, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

1/3 cup granulated sugar 1large egg, lightly beaten 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 C). Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set it aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt, and stir to blend. Add the vanilla extract, eggs, oil, and milk, and stir until well blended. Add the apples and stir to thoroughly coat them with the batter. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake pan. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake until fairly firm and golden, about 25 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, egg, and melted butter, and stir to blend. Set it aside. Remove the cake from the oven and pour the topping mixture over it. Return the cake to the oven and bake until the top is a deep golden brown and the cake feels quite firm when pressed with a fingertip, about 10 minutes. Transfer the cake pan to a rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the sides of the pan, and release and remove the springform side, leaving the cake on the pan base. Serve at room temperature, cut into thin wedges.
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided 1 teaspoon table salt 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (1 1/4 sticks) 1 teaspoon baking powder teaspoon baking soda cup buttermilk (or low-fat plain yogurt) 1 large egg, at room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla extract cup walnuts, finely chopped (or pecans) cup dark brown sugar, packed
DIRECTIONS Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 10-inch skillet (preferably nonstick) over high heat until golden. Add apples, cover, and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until they are dry and very tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle apples with 2 tablespoons sugar, and lightly toss until glazed. Cool to room temperature. Adjust oven rack to center position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease bottom and lightly grease sides of 10-inch springform pan. Sprinkle bottom of pan with dry bread crumbs, then shake lightly to coat. Tap out excess crumbs. Whisk flour, remaining sugar, and salt in large mixing bowl until blended. Add remaining 10 tablespoons of butter and cut with whisk until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Remove 1 cup of crumbs to separate bowl. Whisk 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda into mixture remaining in large mixing bowl. Add buttermilk or yogurt, egg, and vanilla; whisk vigorously until batter is thick, smooth, fluffy, and frosting like, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Fold in apples using a rubber spatula, then scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Add nuts, brown sugar, and remaining teaspoon cinnamon to reserved crumbs; toss with a fork or your hands until blended. Sprinkle crumbs over batter, pressing lightly so that mixture adheres. Bake cake until center is firm and cake tester comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes (See Tip *). Transfer cake to rack; remove pan sides. Let cake cool completely, about 2 hours, before serving. When completely cooled, cake can be slid off pan bottom onto serving plate.
Tip:
*Do not insert a skewer into this cake to test for doneness until the center appears firm when the pan is shaken. If you do, the topping may squeeze air out, and the middle of the cake may sink.
