HOW TO FROTH MILK USING SECURA FROTHER

It is so simple, you don’t need any instructions.

The most important part is to have milk that is 3.25%

Pour the milk until the first line. (there are 3 lines)

Cover with the lid.

Plug the milk frother and press the button only once. (if you are making cappuccino)

Important: there is only one button, so pressing once is for cappuccino drink. BTW, it will start blink. Don’t press it twice unless you want Latte.

You will hear loud sound which means, labour time and the machine is working.

In 2 minutes you will have the best milk froth for your favorite maple cappuccino recipe.

Remove the lid and stir into the most amazing white milk angel.

Say thank you to Secura frother because it is working. (be sure to be kind to machines. They can feel your energy. Don’t question me, just do it.)

Quick Note

SUPER IMPORTANT:

MILK – the most important part is to use 3.25% milk. This is MUST. The Secura frother is asking for 3.25% milk. (not 2% or 1%)

COFFEE – I used Grande Kaffe Coffee, Maple Nut Crunch with delicious sweet maple syrup and a hint of walnut.

SUGAR OR HONEY OR MAPLE SYRUP – if you like your cappuccino to be sweet use white or brown sugar. I like to use organic honey and maple syrup.

OPTIONAL: You can add 1 TBSP of ground walnuts into the cappuccino. (yes, extra special maple cappuccino)

INSTRUCTIONS

To see pictures or step by step pictures check THIS LINK

Our first step is making the cake.

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Line the baking sheet (16 by 12 inch) with aluminum foil.

Spray with baking spray and set aside.

Bowl 1: Add dry ingredients

Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder.

To that mixture add the ground hazelnuts and stir all ingredients together. Set aside.

Your next step will involve your favorite mixer (KitchenAid) and mixing bowl.

To the mixing bowl add fresh, room temperature eggs and sugar.

Mix on high speed for about 9 minutes or until tripled in volume.

The next step is to combine dry and wet ingredients. (remember bowl 1)

Using the spatula fold dry ingredients into the eggs, in 3 additions. (slowly)

SUPER IMPORTANT: Please, pay attention to this step.

Be very gently when mixing dry ingredients into the eggs mixture.

I will repeat again. Be sure the flour hazelnuts mixture is mixed or incorporated into the eggs mixture.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 F for about 15 to 17 minutes.

Use a toothpick to check if the cake is done.

Remove from the oven.

Cool it for about 2 to 3 hours.

IMPORTANT: YOU CAN MAKE THIS CAKE DAYS AHEAD, COOL AND FREEZE.

HOW TO MAKE NUTELLA FILLING

Add cheese to the mixing bowl and mix until smooth.

Then transfer to the plate.

Using the same bowl mix the heavy cream for 2 minutes.

Then add cheese and mix until two ingredients are incorporated.

After that add Nutella and mix quickly. (for a minute or two)

Stir all ingredients using your favorite spatula.

And you just made the best Nutella filling.

MAKING CHOCOLATE GLAZE FOR Happy Birthday Ferrero Cake

If you are not on diet and you are not watching amount of sugar, you can make this chocolate glaze with semi-sweet chocolate.

Add chopped chocolate and corn syrup to the bowl.

Then heat the cream until almost boiling.

Pour it over chocolate and corn syrup mixture.

Let sit for 5 minutes.

Gently mix until smooth.

And yes, you just made the best chocolate glaze.

ASSEMBLY OF THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE

To make mini layer cakes, use knife and cut the ferrero cake into the sizes you like your birthday cake to be.

My choice is 5 by 5 square cakes. (you select the number you like).

Now, if you have your mini cakes we can start our assembly line.

Place the bottom layer of the cake to a plate.

Important: You can make this birthday cake using 2 or 3 layers.

Add Nutella filling, second layer cake, Nutella filling and then add the third layer of the ferrero rocher cake. Return to fridge until filling is set. (see note below why is this important)

Note: At this point, I find it is important to chill the cake before continuing to help the Nutella filling firm up. Usually, 30 minutes is enough.

Keep going until you use all mini cakes you have from 16 by 12 inches size.

Important: Keep all your mini cakes in the fridge until you are ready for chocolate icing.

EASY RECIPE CHOCOLATE ICING

BTW, you are almost done.

You just need to pour the best chocolate glaze over the cakes.

MAKING Easy Strawberry Cake Recipe

Easy Strawberry Cake Recipes — Easy Strawberry Cake Recipe for you

Ingredients for sponge cake

6 eggs

1 cup sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 cup all purpose flour, unbleached

INSTRUCTIONS for Strawberry Cake

Add 6 eggs and 1 cup sugar into the mixing bowl.

Mix until the mixture becomes thick, fluffy and triples in volume, for about 10 minutes.

From this moment you will be using the spatula.(no mixer)

Mix 1 cup of flour and baking powder.

Then sift 1/3 cup of flour over the beaten egg and sugar. Using a rubber spatula, work in circular pattern, going over and under. This is very important. Be sure the flour is incorporated into egg sugar mixture.

Repeat step above 2 more times

Divide the cake mixture among 3 bake pans (6 inch baking pans).

I used 2 cups of mixture for each pan.

Bake at 350 F for about 19 minutes or until done.

Use toothpick to test if cake is done. Insert the wooden toothpick near the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Cool the cake.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Core the strawberries to remove the white center.

Place cleaned strawberries in a food processor and pulse until smooth.

You will have about 1 and 1/4 cup of puree.

Then put the pureed through a sieve to remove the seed. You don’t need to do this step if you like seeds .(Weirdo! I am not judging you…)

Place strawberry puree in a small saucepan over a medium heat.

Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring often. Simmer for about 30 min or until the mixture is reduced to 1/3 of the original volume.

Place the reduced puree into the fridge to allow to cool.

Next Step:

Beat the butter. Be sure that there is no lumps.

Then add 2 1/2 cups of icing sugar and mix until butter and sugar are combined.

Add your strawberry puree, vanilla and salt.

Beat together until combined.

Then add 2 cups of icing sugar and mix well until well combined.

Add 1 TBSP of whip cream if needed and wanted.

And you have it, your homemade Strawberry Buttercream Frosting made from fresh strawberries.

Enjoy.

ASSEMBLY OF BEST SPONGE CAKE

Place your first layer of cake onto a platter.

Top with easy strawberry buttercream frosting.

Add second sponge cake.

Then add a layer of strawberry buttercream.

Finish with third layer of sponge cake.

Decorate as you wish or ask your friend to do it for you.

You can use only icing sugar or you can top with more strawberry frosting and sliced strawberries.

Or you can frost the outside of your sponge cake with the leftover strawberry buttercream.

Store in the fridge for a few hours and then serve.

Quick Note

EGGS – Please use organic eggs. It is more expensive but the eggs are the biggest star inside of the cake.

Strawberry – For this recipe I used organic strawberries. It was on sale. You can use regular, fresh strawberries from any food store or local farmers market.

Flour – use all purpose, unbleached.

Then sift 1/3 cup of flour over the beaten egg and sugar. Using a rubber spatula, work in circular pattern, going over and under. This is very important. Be sure the flour is incorporated into egg sugar mixture.

Repeat step above 2 more times

Divide the cake mixture among 3 bake pans (6 inch baking pans).

I used 2 cups of mixture for each pan.

Bake at 350 F for about 19 minutes or until done.

Use toothpick to test if cake is done. Insert the wooden toothpick near the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.

Cool the cake.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Core the strawberries to remove the white center.

Place cleaned strawberries in a food processor and pulse until smooth.

You will have about 1 and 1/4 cup of puree.

Then put the pureed through a sieve to remove the seed. You don’t need to do this step if you like seeds .(Weirdo! I am not judging you…)

Place strawberry puree in a small saucepan over a medium heat.

Bring mixture to a simmer, stirring often. Simmer for about 30 min or until the mixture is reduced to 1/3 of the original volume.

Place the reduced puree into the fridge to allow to cool.

Next Step:

Beat the butter. Be sure that there is no lumps.

Then add 2 1/2 cups of icing sugar and mix until butter and sugar are combined.

Add your strawberry puree, vanilla and salt.

Beat together until combined.
Then add 2 cups of icing sugar and mix well until well combined.

Add 1 TBSP of whip cream if needed and wanted.

And you have it, your homemade Strawberry Buttercream Frosting made from fresh strawberries.

Enjoy.

ASSEMBLY OF BEST SPONGE CAKE

Place your first layer of cake onto a platter.

Top with easy strawberry buttercream frosting.

Add second sponge cake.

Then add a layer of strawberry buttercream.

Finish with third layer of sponge cake.

Decorate as you wish or ask your friend to do it for you.

You can use only icing sugar or you can top with more strawberry frosting and sliced strawberries.

Or you can frost the outside of your sponge cake with the leftover strawberry buttercream.

Store in the fridge for a few hours and then serve.

Notes

EGGS – Please use organic eggs. It is more expensive but the eggs are the biggest star inside of the cake.

Strawberry – For this recipe I used organic strawberries. It was on sale. You can use regular, fresh strawberries from any food store or local farmers market.

Flour - use all purpose, unbleached.

Baking powder - I used organic, no aluminum added.

Sugar - for this recipe I used regular white, sugar.

Butter - use organic if you can. Be sure it is unsalted and room temperature for this strawberry cake.
