My Short Healthy Cake Recipe

This cake is actually a strawberry shortcake, but in general I like to call it different than the name of the cake. This cake is actually 2 layers. For this cake you need a special pan, not a normal cake pan. It is called a spring form pan. Why you need a spring form pan is because this cake is very fragile and will stick to other cake pans.

Ingredients: 2/3 cups sugar, 2/3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 5 eggs. Put the sugar and eggs into a bowl, mix it up with an electric mixture until it gets real fluffy. When you think the sugar and eggs are finished mixing write TAY in the batter and if the T still stands out after writing the AY then the mixture is ready. (by the way Tay is my dog's name). Sift in the flour and baking soda into the eggs and sugar batter. Do not use the electric mixture to do that, use a spatula. When you are finished stirring, put the batter in the spring form pan. But before that, butter the pan and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Bake it for 35-45 minutes, until it is golden brown. 

While that is baking, take two cups of strawberries and 1 1/2 cups of sugar (or a sugar and maple syrup mixture, like I did) into a bowl. Smash the sugar and strawberries until it becomes a nice saucy mixture. Put that in the refrigerator.

When the cake gets out of the oven, let it cool. While it is cooling, we make the cream. Get one pint of heavy cream and mix it with one heaping tablespoon of sugar and dash of vanilla. Let that whip until thick and creamy. 

While that is stirring, cut the cake in twos. Then take your strawberry mixture out of the refrigerator. First put a lot of strawberry sauce on the top layer, soak for 20 minutes. While that is soaking, put strawberry sauce on the bottom layer then put whipped cream on top of the strawberry sauce. Now carefully, put the top lawyer with soaked strawberry on the bottom layer. Frost the top and sides with the whipped cream

Let you enjoyations begin!!!

My Mustard Mess Chicken

As you can see, I have a video and that is why I am not going to write as much because I am going to talk in my video. First of all these chickens are very tasty. Particularly I am an eight year old kid making chicken and that is very impressive because I have never seen another eight year old kid make chicken for her or his family.

YUMMY!!!!!

Zeynep's Lion / Vegan cake (but the frosting is not Vegan)

This cake is two layers as you can see. The frosting is chocolate and vanilla. I made this cake for my dad. I call him Baba. That is why it says Baba on it. I put a lion on the cake because my dad's favorite animal is a lion. I put walnuts on it because my dad's favorite nut is walnuts. Then I put chocolate chips because that is my favorite (and I need a treat for myself.)

A bird's eye view is always helpful to see how the cake looks.

The most tastiest cake! Even though it is very small, it lasted for a whole week. Everything on that cake is made by moi!

Prep: Zeynep's Vegan Cake

I am making a cake. First, put all the dry ingredients in a bowl: 1.5 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 cup of white or brown sugar and a pinch of salt.

Mix these all together until they are a mixture.

Then make 3 deep holes into the dry mixture. Into one of the holes, pour in 5 tablespoons of canola oil or olive oil. Into the next hole pour in one tablespoon of white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. And in the next hole pour in one teaspoon of vanilla. Like I am doing in the pictures below.

After you put all the ingredients in the three holes, pour one cup of cold water all over even inside the three holes.

Mix the batter together until there are no lumps then put it into your baking pans. Bake at 350 for about a half an hour. Wait until our next post to find out how we frost it!

My Hearts and Stars

These are the bake sale cookies. They are all homemade. These are the most specialist cookies I have possibly made yet. Why? Because I did not even put my hand in to taste. And, these cookies give you extra energy because they are ..... (drum roll, please) .... They are Sugar Cookies!! Sugar cookies sound pretty unhealthy, but it is sometimes good to eat unhealthy. 

But these have extra sugar everywhere. On the top, on the inside and everywhere you can even think about. Once, I was making sugar cookies and my mom accidentally opened the mixer with out closing the power and it went all over the place so we started licking everywhere to eat the batter. It was the best day of my life.

here are the cookies in a plastic container ready to be taken to the bake sale

These cookies are specially made by me because I am very kind to bake sales and I wanted to support my awesome school. These cookies are stars and hearts, as you can see, because I love hearts and I love stars.  And it kind of rhymes too. Listen to it again... my hearts and stars.. to be honest, it is kind of poetic and relaxing. Just like these cookies which are a comfort food, or a comfort dessert.

When you eat the hearts, it feels like the hearts make an extra heart for you, out of sugar. A tip, if you would like, is do not crush oatmeal to make flow because oatmeal destroys these cookies, you have to use fine white flower for these sweeties. Another tip: is if you want these cookies to be very delicious, serve them warm.

The Flower Food

Hi. This food is a kind of flower. A lot of people think it is disgusting to eat it. BUT IT IS THE BEST, AND NOBODY CAN DEFEAT DANDELIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is my favorite vegetable (and if you try it, it might be yours too).

You actually don't eat the flower part. You eat the greens, the leaves. I am going to tell you how to make it. First, boil the dandelions and squeeze all the water out. Then thinly slice 3 cloves of garlic and put them in olive oil in a frying pan. By the way, that is what I am doing here in the picture.

that's me in the kitchen

Then, once the garlic is sizzling and almost light brown, add the dandelions in the frying pan too. secret: after I stir the dandelion in, always eat some.... muah, muah, muah

Look at me stirring the dandelions in the pan. It is hard to stir it because you do not want to scrape the pan, but you want to get everything nice and mixed together.

In the end add some red pepper and lots of salt. Viola, that is my dandelions. And they are really good for you too. The End.

My Healthy Chocolate Delight Cookies

Why are these cookies very healthy? I will tell you the answer. Please don't tell ANYBODY else. This is a secret. I put oatmeal in my cookies to make them healthy. And put chocolate chips and cocoa powder to make it brown, sweet and delicious. These cookies are actually just normal chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal and cocoa powder. They are very delicious, secret: don't let anybody eat the batter.......(except yourself :-))

Are you ready for your close-up, cookie?
You can see the chips, you can see the oatmeal, but you can't taste it. By the way, I actually put a cup of oatmeal and I didn't taste it at all!
