Treats.

cappuccino

oven baked food

vegan candybars named after good tv shows

not as pretty as here, but it was pretty yummy though

Twinings. I'm addicted.

Bagel Breakfast.

Bagel with a cashew-red bell pepper-spread and cress, and a cappuccino.

Pretty cakes.

Last sunday I put on a matinée show with DRAMAMINE and NOEM which both are on a small tour together right now. I think 5pm on a Sunday is quite the right time for a show but believe it or not, some people didn't come as they thought it was too early for them. So what.

Fabulous Felix, Hanni and me made some cakes for the show. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of Hanni's chocolate muffins and his lemon cake was already gone before any visitors showed up. Cakes, coffee and two good bands were an awesome combination and I demand more Sundays like that.

No cake today.

Or to be precise: No cake on Mondays. If you're standing in front of the closed doors of a vegan café, which is the only vegan café in your town, because you forgot that it's always closed on Mondays and you were so looking forward to have a piece of cake - a big glass of coffee with milk foam and white bread with cherry jelly will do fine back at home.

Coffee-Pecan-Brownies.

Coffee, chocolate, nuts. Great combination.

- 2 cups flour

- 1 1/2 cups sugar

- 3/4 cup cocoa

- 1 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/2 teaspoon salt 

- 250g margarine

- 3/4 cup soymilk

- 1 espresso (still hot)

Mix dry ingredients well, than add margarine. If these are really good mixed first add the still warm espresso and than soymilk.

Spread the dough on a baking sheet, and put one pecan nut for every brownie onto the dough. Bake for 20-25 minutes, gas mark 3.
Let them cool for  at least 10 minutes before cut into pieces. Store in an airtight container and be patient: they're waaaay better the next day and as luscious as brownies have to be.

Perfect Muffin.

Somewhere I found a really good coffee cake recipe, unfortunetaly I can't remember where. I slightly changed it, used more coffee, less sugar, a hint of cocoa. The result: bloody good muffins.

200g flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
50 g sugar
100g margarine (Alsan)
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 espresso


Mix dry ingredients with margarine well, than add the coffee (still warm). Fill the dough into 6 muffin cups and bake for about 30 minutes, gas mark 4.
