After all that mango madness which I was oddly detached from,Gimme a "C"...any day.
"C" for Chocolate...
"C" for coffee....
And when they are together..
you make my day!
Ambrosia!
Coffee and chocolate are food ...I needed this after all that mango mania.I made these the day before I started the mango madness in all my friends...and dumped them in the fridge.
And after the third mango cake(yes the piping gel one was the second...the third one is an egg less version of the same cake...in case you forgot my ova-avoiding friend Ritu) I thankfully retrieved the cuppie from its Tupperware guardian and sat down to this manna from heaven.
A glass of cold coffee to give me company...the familiar smell of warm chocolate and coffee and the slurp of sugar less bitter cold coffee.
Could not have asked for any thing better.(Yes, I drink my coffee without sugar...as if I don't get enough already!)
Simple, Solid , Reassuring and Uncomplicated!And did I mention healthy??
Just like your man...when you need him the most.
For all you guys who love chocolate...think Goddess Venus!
for the
Mocha Muffins -Coffee and Chocolate go Hand In Hand...
you need
3/4 cup whole wheat flour/atta
1 cup flour
1/4 cup cocoa
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup /60 mils strong black coffee
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup buttermilk(can subs with cold milk + 1tsp vinegar)
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda/soda bicarb
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup walnuts chopped-optional( I never use any...too many nuts floating around me to risk biting into another)
Muffin tray out and lined...
And oven pre heated to 190C/375F.
Start with the beautiful eggs and the ground sugar.
Looks straight out of Dr Seuss ...no?
What say?
Ever let your imagination run wild???And then people wonder if I am totally sane when t hey see a smile on my face...
The dream shattered...and the eggs and the sugar beaten.
That's the coffee-strong!
The dry stuff...before they are to be sifted.
The beaten eggs...
Once you are happy with the eggs and the sugar, blend in the coffee liquid and the dry stuff alternately...in three batches. Add the vanilla and you are done.
Ready, in the safety of the paper cups...into the oven for 14 to 17 minutes.
And they are done.
All fragrant and aromatic....
If you watch Sony TV and have any affinity to any of the soap operas that play the whole day...you may have heard this title track....the serial is nothing to write home about...but then...this track is lovely.
Worth a listen.
This is what mocha muffins are all about.
Coming home to something dependable.
Away from the alien taste of fruits...and totally about what we were meant to eat!
Mocha!
So what are you baking today???
