Chocolate Cuccake

"Mah Oê! Who wants money?" (My imitation from Silvio Santos).
A lot of things changed in Blogspot since i stopped to post in my blog. Now, is most beatiful.
Here is my recipe from chocolate cupcake.

Chocolate Cupcake

Ingredients:
# 1 cup of chocolate
# 1 cup milk
# 2 cups sugar
# 3 cups flour
# 3 / 4 cup oil
# 1 tablespoon baking powder
# 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
# 2 eggs


Preparing:
1 -  In a bowl place the chocolate, flour and sugar.
2 -  Then add the milk gradually (when mixing), oil, eggs, vanilla extract (and recall that is optional) and yeast (no need to save in yeast, but not abuse it).
3 - The dough has to be a little thicker, since this is done without the form of aluminum, only the paper.
4 -  Pour into paper with a small shell, between 1.5 and 2 cm of shape, because the pie will grow.
5 -  Put on a form, let them away by 2 cm.
6 -  After put them in a preheated oven at 130 ° C.


Vocabulary:

Silvio Santos: Apresentador, empresário e caloteiro brasileiro.
Tablespoon baking powder: Colher de sopa de fermento em pó.

Chocolate Mousse Recipe



The chocolate mousse dessert is a simple but very tasty, easy to please everyone and very attractive!

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter, diced
  • 2 tablespoons espresso or very strong coffee (I used decaf espresso from a local Starbucks)
  • 1 cup cold heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
(Optional) Raspberries and extra whipped cream

METHOD

1 Whip the cream to soft peaks, then refrigerate. 

2 Combine the chocolate, butter, and espresso in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not simmering, water, stirring frequently until
smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool until the chocolate is just slightly warmer than body temperature.


3 Once the melted chocolate has cooled slightly, whip the egg whites in a medium bowl until they are foamy and beginning to hold a shape.
Sprinkle in the sugar and beat until soft peaks form.


4 When the chocolate has reached the proper temperature, stir in the yolks. Gently stir in about one-third of the whipped cream. Fold in half the whites just until incorporated, then fold in the remaining whites, and finally the remaining whipped cream. 

5 Spoon or pipe the mousse into a serving bowl or individual dishes. If you wish, layer in fresh raspberries or strawberries and whipped cream. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours. (The mousse can be refrigerated for up to a day.)

(Serves 5-8, depending on the size of the servings.) "Bon appetite!"

heavy cream: creme de leite

tablespoon: colher de sopa

soft peaks: chantilly
