I get by with a little help from my friends..


I'm so exited!
I tried this chocolate pie recipe yesterday, and I can tell you I have never made anything so good in my life. My friend was here watching and advising me.
Without him, I could not have done it!

wow, I'm amazed.

I stole the recipe from here: http://eleviina.blogspot.com/2008/04/parhaat-mokkapalat-mihin-olet-trmnnyt.html

I translated it:


Bottom
5dl sugar
5dl flour
2tl vanilla
1 1 / 2 teaspoon soda

1 teespoon salt
2 1/2dl water
200g margarine
3-4 tablespoon cocoa powder

1dl buttermilk (or natural yoghurt, milk or strong coffee)
2 eggs

Mix dry ingredients together (sugar, flour, vanilla, and soda). Boil margarine, water, cocoa powder and salt mixture. Combine flour mixture and cocoa mixture. Add then 1dl buttermilk, and when the dough has cooled down enough, mix in the eggs. Pour the dough on oven shelf and bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool and then frost it.

Frosting
100g margarine
2tablespoons of milk
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
icing sugar

Boil the ingredients and add to the number of icing sugar until icing is suitable for spreading on the pie.

Culinary start

It has become very clear many times. I can't cook.
Like the time I baked cookies and forgot the sugar..
And one time I made mince meat for me and my friend.. after that he didn't eat mince meat for weeks. Yeah, and the last time I tried to toast a bred the toaster caught on fire.

But I love food and cooking. I always watch different tv cooking shows and try to learn some tips.
I wanna learn.

So I will try different recipes every week. And post some pictures and updates about the outcomes.
If you have a recipe I could try, you can send it to me, I guess.
