(Extremely) Lazy Baker, part three

Soms heb ik echt geen zin in ingewikkelde recepten, maar wel zin in iets lekkers. Vandaar dat ik de Lazy Baker serie ben begonnen (hier) en die voortzetten (hier). Maar dit is toch wel echt het toppunt... Deze cake is namelijk gemaakt met een "complete mix". Natuurlijk zou het niet echt Janna zijn, als ik het niet een beetje opgepimpt had, met frambozenjam! 

Als je het beslag hebt gemaakt, giet je de helft in de cakevorm. Dan verspreid je de jam over het beslag en giet je het laatste beetje beslag eroverheen. Dit kan je echt met iedere cake doen, zelfs met cupcakes. Het ziet er ontzettend leuk uit en smaakt ook nog eens lekker fris!

Sometimes I am not in the mood for difficult recipes, but still in the mood for a snack. That's why I started (here) the Lazy Baker series, and went on with it (here). But this really is the epitome... I made this cake with a  "complete mix". Of course it wouldn't be Janna, if I hadn't changed it a bit, with raspberrymarmelade! 

If you made the batter, you pour half of it in the cake mould. Then you spread the marmelade on the batter and you pour the other half of the batter on it. You can do this with every cake, even with cupcakes. It looks really cool and it tastes deliciously fresh as well! 

Delicious straciatella cake with rasberrymarmelade! 

Yeah, these were the only things I used. There was even a paper cake mould in the packet. Easy, isn't it? 

Chocolate crinkle cookies

In mijn laatste post schreef ik over koekjes bakken. Toen bedacht ik opeens dat ik al drie tutorials voor mijn blog had gemaakt, die ik nog helemaal niet had gepost. Ik zal beginnen met de beste. Deze koekjes maakte ik pas gisteren. Dit recept voor chocolate crinke cookies is van "Rudolph's Bakery", maar dan een beetje aangepast. Echt een heerlijke serie trouwens. Anyway, ze zagen er goed uit op televisie, maar smaakten nog beter. Deze koekjes zijn makkelijk om te maken, en heerlijk om te eten! Moet ik nog meer zeggen?

In my last post I wrote about baking cookies. Then I realised I had made about three tutorials for my blog, which I never posted. I'll start with the best one. I made these only yesterday. I saw this recipe in "Rudolph's Bakery", but this one is a little different. I love that series by the way. Anyway, they looked good on television, but were even better. These cookies are easy to make, and delicious to eat! Do I need to say more?

Paradise Slices

Mijn tijd goed gebruiken in de proefwerkweek? Natuurlijk. Terwijl de chocolade hard wordt een uur leren, als de plaatkoek in de oven staat een halfuurtje leren... En als ik dan voor de laatste keer over Il Risorgimento lees, de Paradise Slices eten, mmm!

Using my time well during the test week? Of course. While the chocolate is hardening up learning a hour, when the cake is in the over learning 30 minutes... And then, when I'm reading about Il Risorgimento for the last time, eating the Paradise Slices, mmm!

Black white black

Alle kanalen had ik al bekeken en er was niets... Nog maar een keer dan. Weer niet. Tot ik opeens de tune van Rudolph's Bakery hoorde. Natuurlijk bleef ik daar even hangen om te kijken wat Rudolph zou gaan maken. Amerikaans chocokoekjes. Oelala, klinkt dat even lekker! Gisteravond heb ik mijn eigen versie gemaakt. 

I had already watched every channel and there wasn't anything on tv... Again. And again nothing. Until I heard the tune of Rudolph's Bakery. Of course I wanted to know what Rudolph was going make. American chocolatecookies. Oelala, that sounds delicious! Yesterday evening, I made my own version.

Yummy! ♥

Austria - Kaffee und Kuchen

Terug van een fantastische vakantie in Oostenrijk. Mijn dagen waren gevuld met wandelen in de bergen, zwemmen in het zwembad, lezen terwijl ik bruin werd and versgebakken taart eten. Een van de leuke dingen aan Oostenrijk is 'Kaffee und Kuchen'. Iedere dag rond 4 uur konden we buiten in de zon genieten van een heerlijk stuk taart. Natuurlijk heb ik de bakker naar de recepten gevraagd, in het Duits :P. Inspiratie genoeg dus voor de komende tijd! Nu eerst een aantal foto's van de Kaffee und Kuchen.

Back from amazing holidays in Austria. My days were filled with hiking in the mountains, swimming in the pool, trampolining, reading while getting tanned and eating freshly baked cake. I enjoyed it so much! One of the good things of Austria is 'Kaffee und Kuchen'. Everyday around 4 o'clock we could enjoy a delicious piece of cake in the sun. Of course I asked the baker for the recipes, in German :P. Inspiration enough for the future! Now first some pictures of the Kaffee und Kuchen. 

Perfect combi of cake, cream, chocolate and fresh raspberries.

Creepy cake ft. Girlscene

Yeeeeey, Girlscene heeft opnieuw een artikel van mij gepost! Het gaat om het laatste gedeelte, met de Creepy Cake. De taart zal jullie wel bekend voorkomen, want die heb ik hier al eens laten zien op mijn blog. Er waren veel lieve reacties op, en het was natuurlijk gewoon awesome om je artikel op zo'n fantastische site te zien :D Jullie kunnen het artikel hier (klik!) bekijken. Vertel me wat je ervan vindt!

Yeeeey, Girlscene has posted one of my articles again! It's the part about the Creepy Cake.The cake might look familiar to you 'cause I already posted it here on my blog. There were lots of lovely comment, and of course it was just awesome to see your article really posted on such a great site :D. You can see the article here (click!). Tell me what you think of it! 

Girlscene stuurde me een pakketje om me te bedenken, ik zal het jullie laten zien in mijn volgende post. Ik kan alvast verklappen dat het topmuziek inhoudt en wat mooie nageldingetjes...

Girlscene sent me a packet to thank me, which I'll show you in my next post. I can say it includes some good music and some beautiful nailthingies...

Creepy cake

Misschien een beetje vroeg om al met Halloween-recepten te beginnen, maar waarom ook niet? Bovendien schrijf ik sinds dit jaar voor de schoolkrant. Natuurlijk komt er ook iedere uitgave een recept van mij in! Het thema van deze schoolkrant is Halloween en daarom ben ik alvast begonnen met recepten uitproberen. Deze taart is helemaal niet ingewikkeld, maar het effect is wel gaaf en de cake is zooo sticky.Ik heb deze taart wel eens eerder gemaakt, je kunt het recept (en how-to foto's) hier vinden. Natuurlijk heb ik het toen zonder de spinnenwebben gemaakt. By the way, ik smeerde een dikke laag pure chocolade over de taart en maakte daarna een glazuur (van poedersuiker en water) om mee te 'tekenen'.

Maybe it's a bit early times to start with Halloween-recipes, but why not? And besides, I write for the schoolpaper since this year. And of course there'll be one of my recipes in every issue! This schoolpapers theme is Halloweend and that's why I already started to try some recipes. This cake is not difficult at all, but the effect is really cool and the cake is sooo sticky,I made this cake before, and you can find the recipe (and how-to pics) here. Of course I made it without the spiderwebs. By the way, I spread a thick layer of dark chocolate over the cake and then made an icing (with icing sugar and water) to 'draw' with.

Wat vind je ervan? // Do you like it?

Mochachino-brownies with mocca sauce

Tijd om het eerste weekend te vieren! En wat mag er dan niet ontbreken? Juist, brownies :D Dit is misschien een recept waar je iets langer voor nodig hebt, dan de recepten die ik normaal post. Maar het resultaat mag er absoluut zijn. Super super lekker.

First weekend: celebrate it! And what is impossible to miss? Yeah, brownies :D So maybe this is a recipe that will take you a little longer then the recipes I normally post. But the result will be there. Super super delicious.

Raspberry tartelette: crumbling, bittersweet, soft and fesh

Ik geloof dat de zon Nederland eindelijk gevonden heeft. De laatste paar dagen was ik alleen maar op het strand te vinden. Zwemmen zonnen zwemmen zonnen zwemmen... En dit warme weer vraagt natuurlijk om een fruitig recept. Voilà.


It seems like the sun has finally found Holloand. So the last few days I've only been on the beach. Swimming sunbathing swimming sunbathing swimming... And this warm weather asks for a fruity recipe of course. Voilà. 

Frambozentartelette / Raspberry tartelette 

Cake + Mint + Chocolate

Ik draai het een keertje om: eerst de foto, dan het recept. Dan kunnen jullie je eerst afvragen waar die vreemde kleur vandaan komt, en daarna in het recept kijken xd. Ik weet dat het er ergens bijna chemisch uitziet, maar het is super super lekker! Heerlijk fris.


Things have changed: first the picture, then the recipe. So you can first wonder where the strange colour has come from, and then you can look in the recipe xd. I know it almost looks chemical, but it's super super delicious. Very fresh.


*I should mention one thing to the word cake. It really is cookiedough, and it is cookie like. But because you make it on a baking plate, you call it cake. It's more like a plate-cookie or anything :D

Weet je al wat het is? / Do you already know what it is? (:

Chocolate Cake & Pearls

Two of my friends are 1,5 year together, so... time for a party! I wanted to give them something special, and since I like to bake chocolate cake, I made one for them. With a little shiny love-decoration (:

By the way, it's one of the easiest cakes ever, but super sticky. I love it. I've had a lot of success with this cake on bdays and other special occassions. Or just in the middle of the week xd.

You need:

• 300 gr dark chocolate
• 200 gr butter
• 3 à 4 tablespoons coffee powder
• 4 eggs
• 200 gr brown sugar
• 150 gr self-raising flour

• a bit of chocolate for the heart, but I just did that intuitive. You can just use as much as you like. Of course you can make every shape you want. 
• silver and gold pearls

1. Melt the butter and the chocolate

2. When the it's become a smooth chocolatebutter, add the coffee powder

3. Stir the eggs until you see bubbles.

4. Add the brown sugar and the little bit of salt.

5. Add the chocolate/coffee-butter to the eggs.
 And sieve the flour trough it.

6. Cover the tin in baking paper.
Do this with cuts in the sides, like you see in the picture.
While you cover the tin, preheat the over on 175°C.


Bake the cake for 30 minutes.
Cool it down in the fridge, to make it sticky, yum yum!


And then the final pic, the result.
PADADAPADAPAAAM...

Isn't it cute?

The cake was delicious, if I can say it myself... My friends loved it, so I guess I can :D The party was great. We could sit outside all night. I enjoyed it a lot!

9. Add the mint syrup

Chocolate x Mint

Heee (:

I found this picture somewhere on my computer. And I really wanted to share it with you. I made this cupcake last summer when I came back from France. In France you can buy green lemonade, tasting like mint. So when I mixed it with some butter and icing sugar, it looked so great. The combination chocolate-mint is also awesome. It doesn't only look great, it also tastes delicious. 

So, maybe when I go back to France this summer, I'll buy green lemonade. 'Cause I really would love to make these cupcakes, or in a different style, again!

Bisous, Janna

Brownies+chocolate chip cookies = yummy!

Salut!
As soon as Maartje had told me about a recipe she had seen, where the best of both worlds, brownies ànd chocolate chip cookies, were mixed, we dicided that we had to try it during the holidays (: Yesterday was the big day hahaha. I went to Maartje and we picked up Laura from the busstation. First we ate icecream, 'cause the weather in Holland is warm in some kind of weird way. And we bought a packet browniemix Dr. Oetker (yeah, lazy us x) and chocolate chip cookies.
Now I'll just give you the recipe and show you the picture, so you can start mouth watering and bake the brownies yourself:

What to do:

1. Just follow the instructions on the browniemix-pack. Which for us meant mixing 50 gr butter trough it and then mixing it with 100 ml water.
2. Then crumble the chocolate chip cookies and spread them trough the batter. Of course you can use as much cookies as you want (: 
3. Ohhyeah, that was it. Just everything you should do to make these delicious chocolate chip cookie brownies. Isn't it just too easy?
4. Oh haha, I knew I forgot something. You should of course bake them xd.
   160°C, 40 minutes.

Woahhh, so sticky!

As you can see, it's very sticky inside, with crunchy bits.

Au revoir x

Finally some pictures...

Weeeeekend!


Weekend weekend weekend!
I think I've never been so happy with the weekend like I'm now. It was only four days of school but it seemed to be a lot longer... And I was so tired at school. But I made it, thanks to my friends, who were as tired as me and we decided together to make the best of it and started partying at school (:


And now I finally have the pictures of the high tea. So I can show you all the delicious cake and other sweets we ate. Enjoy!

Sticky Brownies

Dear everyone,

Yesterday I promised to upload some pictures. And now the time has come. Ohh, I didn't even tell you what I baked. I baked BROWNIES. I went to the library and picked a book about brownies. And I love the book. It's full of great recipies. When I saw one called 'sticky brownies', I immediately looked for all the ingredients at home and started baking.

Soon it turned out that you needed to add molasses. And I think that's what make these brownies so supersticky. 

And here comes the golden key: when you put brownies, chocolatecake or anything with chocolate for one night in the fridge, it'll become even more sticky then it was before. So I kinda ahad a hard time, because I wanted to eat the brownies so badly. But it was worth it all!

Sundaymorning, I surprised my mum, dad and brother with brownies and coffee. They loved it. And it makes me so happy to see someone's face when they eat something they really like. It was priceless!

Doesn't it look delicious?!

Did you do anything fun this weekend?

xx Janna

Sleepover & cupcakes

Hey you!

Weekend's already over. My weekend was absolutely awesome. I had a sleepover with my friend Laura. Saturday we had the house for us alone, owhyeaahh. So we made pizza al funghi (with mushrooms). And we watched a beautiful movie 

The pizza was delicious. I love mushrooms, so it couldn't be any better!

Of course we slept too short hahaha. Sunday morning we were totally tired. But of course we had enough energy to bake cupcakes! Laura's aunt had bought us chocolate-pencils (white, milk and dark chocolate). So we went on a razzle with those. 

Don't they look pretty? I really like them. In the first picture you can also see the pancakes we baked that morning. We ate them with strawberries, whipped cream and sugar. We kinda made our own brunch. It was such a pity when I had to go home ofcourse. I had to do my homework. But it was too hard to keep my eyes open :3 

And maybe it's because of all the lack of sleep, but today I don't feel too great. So I stay home and sleep some more.

How was your weekend?

xx Janna

Weekend!

Dear you,


It's weeeeeeeekend. So that means making cupcakes to me, hahahaa! And now I'm looking for a new recipe. I have a lot if cupcakebooks at home, so maybe I should look in one of them. And maybe one of my visitors has a brilliant idea? (:

This one looks so delicious

Have a nice weekend xx

Chocolatecake

Dear followers,


I was in a guestfamily since friday because of the MEP. That's the abbreviation for Model European Parliament. I'm not gonna tell you all about it, only if you're interested. But I really had four great days. So yesertday I came back to my own family. And today was horrible because I was tired of my last four days. Anyway, when I came home from school, I decided to surprise my parents & brother with chocolatecake.


It's absolutely fantastic (okay, this isn't very modest, but I loooove chocolatecake).

I think it kinda looks like a moon-landscape ;P

I put the cake outside on a chair, because I think cold chocolatecake is even better than hot cake. And it became supersmooth from the inside. 

Bisous x

PS. I forgot to tell you that I mixed some coffee-powder trough the pastry. Love it!
