Homemade chocolate chip cake
I invented this recipe myself. I fancied a chocolate cake something with a soft crumbly crunch. So I put a few ingredients together today and here we have it! :D
The best thing about this recipe is you barely need any sugar because the chocolate is naturally sweet.
Ingredients:
225 g Self raising flour
3-4 heaped tablespoons of sugar.
3 eggs
1 tablespoon of baking powder
3-4 heaped tablespoons of butter/margarine
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
1 tablespoon of cocoa powder
1 sachet of chocolate chips.
Topping:
100 g plain chocolate. (It doesn't have to be cooking chocolate. Cooking chocolate is bland and tasteless. I recommend cadbury's chocolate)
Method:
1. Grease a 8 inch round baking tin with butter and put to one side then preheat the oven for 180 degrees.
2. Add flour, sugar and butter to a mixing bowl. Slowly crumble the mixture with your fingers but be sure not to overwork the mixture. Next crack 3 eggs into the mixture, add the vanilla essence and baking powder and the chocolate chips and mix together until all the ingredients are blended together.
3. Now pour the mixture into the baking tin, use the back of spoon to smoothen the mixture inside the baking tin. Next place the baking tin into the hot oven for 20-25 minutes. Once cooked remove the baking tin from the oven and put the cake onto a plate and leave aside to cool.
4. Now heat water on the fire, put a bowl on top of the pot and melt the chocolate bar.
Once melted leave the melted chocolate to cool, once cool smear your cake with chocolate. To decorate I added chocolate buttons, be as creative as you can!

Lasagne
So I made Lasagne for dinner for my family, went down very well.
I used some pre-made ingredients but also created my own.
I got this recipe from Secretsauce.co.uk
Ingredients
500g minced beef
500g jar red sauce for lasagne
6 lasagna sheets (weighing about 100g)
470g jar white sauce for lasagne. (I made my own White sauce by heating cheddar/parmesan cheese to a hot pan of whole milk. I stired consistantly until there were no lumps. Do not allow to boil!)
5g mature Cheddar cheese, grated
Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°C / fan oven 170°C / Gas 5. Heat a large frying pan and add the mince, cook over a high heat, stirring well until browned and cooked through. Tip in the red sauce for lasagne, stir and simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
2. Tip half the Bolognese mixture into a large rectangular baking dish measuring about 26cm x 20cm. Arrange 3 lasagne sheets on top, then spread half the white sauce (Or homemade cheese sauce I made) for lasagne over them. Repeat the layers, then sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the surface.
3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until cooked and golden brown. Allow to stand for a few minutes, then serve.
Enjoy :)
