Memories in the Cooking

This is a fun cake. Especially when everyone pulls a cupcake out at the same time.  Ingredients:  - 200g of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder (sieved) - 150g of unsalted butter  - 150g of sugar  - 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract  - 4 tablespoons of milk  - 2 eggs  - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract  - a pinch of salt  - instant frosting  - fruits  Procedures:  1) In a large bowl, mix sugar and butter until it becomes creamy and light.  2) Add 2 eggs, vanilla extract and milk to the creamed mixture. Mix well.  3) Sieve in flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Mix well.  4) Spoon the cupcake mixture into 12-16 cupcake tins (depending on size)  5) Bake at 180 degree Celsius for 25 minutes. (Untill an inserted toothpick comes out clean). Let the cupcake cool.  6) Spread it with instant frosting. Top it with fruits.

Goes well with my husband's homemade focaccia bread.   Ingredients:  - 200g of smoked salmon (around 2 packets)  - 200g of cream cheese  - juice of 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a bunch of basil leaves, garlic (blend)  - 2 cucumber, diced  - 2 tablespoons of thick cream or yogurt  - black pepper  Procedures:  1) Chop smoked salmon finely.  2) Add cream cheese to salmon. Mix well.  3) Blended mix of lemon juice, olive oil, basil leaves and garlic. Add to salmon and cream cheese. Mix well.  4) Add diced cucumber. Mix well.  5) Add thick cream/yogurt to the preferred consistency.  6) Add freshly grated black pepper. Enjoy!
