Another few weeks of attending dinner parties and baking sweet treats for people allows me to bring you the following two easy-peasy recipes. One is for coconut and lime sponge bites which I made to take to a canape and champagne party. The other is simple Mars brownies which I made for friends and colleagues.
I hope you enjoy. Suggestions for improvement and comments welcome :)
Coconut and lime sponge bites
Coconut and lime sponge bites
Ingredients for around 15 moon shaped rounds
- 100g plain flour
- 75g desiccated coconut and a little extra for dusting
- 3 teaspoons of baking powder
- 70g butter
- 60g caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon of golden syrup
- 150ml coconut milk
- juice and rind of 1 lime
- around 30g icing sugar
Method
- preheat the oven to 170 fan and line your round baking tin.
- cream together the butter and sugar with the syrup.
- gradually sift in the flour, baking powder and dry coconut and add a little of the coconut milk.
- keep doing so while stirring until the mixture is well combined.
- bake for around 35 minutes.
- once the cake is cool, you can now make your icing by mixing together the lime juice and icing sugar.
- drizzle liberally over the cake and decorate with the lime zest as you please.
- cut into the shape of your choice and enjoy!
Mars Brownies
Mars brownies
Ingredients - to make 20 squares
- 400g caster sugar
- 225g melted butter
- 4 Mars bars
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 medium eggs
- 225g plain flour
- half a teaspoon of baking powder
- half a teaspoon of salt
Method
It really is simple and I don't have to give a 1, 2, 3 order. Simply mix all the ingredients in the order listed above, pour into a greased dish, bake at 180 fan for around 40 mins (this is because I used a narrow tray, if you're using a wide and shallow tray bake for 20-25 minutes), cool, slice then serve!
