Coca-Cola Cupcakes I don’t drink coca-cola. But I do eat it. Weird. Yeah, I dunno. It’s way better eaten. Let’s take a look, shall we? There’s some dark and white sugar cooked with dark dutch processed cocoa powder…and a can of coke! There’s some the ol’ that pouring into this and this pouring into that. There’s some mixing. Take a little PAM and spray the liners–this is a sticky cupcake batter. UPDATED TIP ALERT: A few of you tried this recipe and sprayed them and the cupcake still stuck. These cupcakes are chocolately, decadent, rich and kind of amaze. This frosting isn’t frosting–it’s just whipped cream. And guess what? Next, cherries on top! P.S.

Gardening as an Anarchist Plot Do-it-Yourself Absinthe. A companion bed of herbs and vegetables: I planted a thick bed of herbs and vegetables. After selecting the main ones I wanted, I added a few plants purely for their value as companion plants: e.g., horehound for the tomatoes and yarrow for the herbs. Nutella-Filled Lamingtons April 13, 2012 | Print | E-mail | Filed under cake, chocolate, nutella Though we definitely had plenty of Easter desserts – including these cookies, frosted sugar cookies that my mom made, strawberry charlotte that my mother-in-law made, and a banana cream pie, I had one more to make. My sister requested lamingtons for her birthday, and since that was back in March, I decided that Easter was the perfect time to make them since we’d all be there to celebrate (and, because you can never have too much dessert)! After last year’s butterbeer cake and the puffle cake from the year before that, I thought these sophisticated little coconut cakes were the perfect way to celebrate my little sister’s special day. Adapted from here. For the sponge cake: 6 large eggs, at room temperature3/4 cup sugar1 tsp vanilla extract1 1/3 cup cake flour5 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted and at room temperature For the filling: 1/2 cup nutella, divided For the icing: Pour the batter into the prepared dish.

This achievement can be reached by even the new gardener given the correct soil, preparation and of course the important, correct variety. Preparation of the soil should be started as soon as the previous crop has been harvested, but never when the soil is too wet, for this breaks the soil structure, this work is best done before Christmas. To achieve top results the onion bed should be a well open site with good drainage, trench approximately. 18in (45cm) deep, fork the bottom of each trench if solid. First scatter the haulms in the bottom of the trench and mix the fertiliser and manure into the trench topsoil. January is a very important month, for this is the month for the sowing of the mammoth onions, they are, a long season onion therefore sowing should be done during January and February.
