As long as I can remember, my mom has always baked the same cake, same ingredients, same good results...
There is a birthday to celebrate... she bakes the yogurt cake. There is some party to attend... she takes her yogurt cake along. Always the very same recipe! She has never tried to bake different desserts for us, instead, she has a wide savory experience and knowledge.
Maybe that's why I'm also more into the savory side, but lately, I've been hearing the "baking call" and here you have my mom's yogurt cake converted into Chocolaty and Lemony Muffins. The recipe and baking process is so easy, so so easy, that I'm sure you will adopt it too :D.
Ingredients for 1 batch (aprox. 17 or 18 units): 1 natural yogurt (125grs), 3 eggs, 16 grs of baking powder. Once you have the recipient of the yogurt empty: 3 recipients full of flour, 2 recipients full of sugar and 1 recipient full of olive oil 0,4º. These are the basic ingredients; now, if you want to give them a little twist, you'll also need: 1 tablespoon of lemon curd, 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips.
Take a big bowl and mix the basic ingredients in no particular order, blend with a food processor and once you have an homogeneous dough, divide in two. In one half add the lemon curd and in the other half add the chocolate and cocoa ingredients.
Preheat oven at 180ºC. Place the dough in the muffins' wrappers and in the oven's middle rack. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 180ºC. Baking time might vary a bit depending on the oven and the wrappers.This is my first time tasting and using Lemon curd in a recipe and it won't be the last! What a delicious thing!!! I didn't buy the Traditional Curd... it was one of those Christmas gifts my husband got this last Holiday: Traditional Lemon Curd from Duchy Originals. I've visited their web and if you have the chance, I encourage you to do the same: www.duchyoriginals.com, they got tones of wonderful organic and natural products... A delish!
Want to know how I would complete this menu?
I would have some Rice Mint Balls with pistachios and shrimps to start with, and as a second either I would have Meatballs with squid to make it all round ;D, or Chicken done with Cider and a good bread loaf!
Buen provecho :D
