  • The Most Delicious Apple and Cinnamon Cheesecake

    This apple and cinnamon cheesecake screams autumn, although you could actually eat it any day of the year. This flavor combination is more than perfect. You have to try this recipe! What more can you ask for in a dessert? These 3 ingredients are a burst of flavors in your mouth. You are going to LOVE this apple and cinnamon cheesecake. YUM! To make this cheesecake perfect, you should cut the apples into small cubes that are not too big and avoid adding an excessive amount; otherwise, the cheesecake won't have a smooth appearance, and it will fall apart when you slice it. You can also place the apples on top of the cheesecake if, in any case, you don't want to add them to the cheesecake mixture. Either way, it's equally delicious.

  • How to make Self-rising Cake Flour

    What is self-rising cake flour, and how do you make it? I show you how. Self-rising flour, as its name suggests, is a ready-made flour that contains self-rising agents, by which I mean it contains baking powder and is mainly used in pastries. This flour has a low percentage of protein content, around 8-10%. Having a low percentage of protein is an advantage for making cakes since the lower the protein, the less gluten develops. And by having less gluten we achieve a softer and fluffier texture. This flour, due to its low protein content, makes it ideal for baking delicate and tender cakes and cupcakes, since it produces a finer crumb and a softer texture than all-purpose flour or bread flour. If you live in the United States, you will surely have heard or seen "Self-rising Flour" and "Cake Flour" in the supermarket. Self-rising flour: it is a flour prepared with leavening agents such as baking powder and salt already mixed. This means that when used in a recipe, additional baking powder and salt do not need to be added. Cake Flour: It is a flour that is finely ground with low protein content, made from soft wheat. This version of self-rising flour that I prepare is a combination of "Self-rising flour" and "Cake Flour" in other words this version is called Self-rising Cake Flour. How to make this self-rising flour? This self-rising cake flour will be prepared as follows: In a bowl add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and remove 2 tablespoons from that cup of flour. Those 2 tablespoons that you removed are replaced by 2 tablespoons of cornstarch (cornstarch), add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and sift 3 times. And it will be ready to use. Reminder: Even if you have already sifted 3 times, each time you are going to use the flour you have to sift it when you add it to the recipe. If you don't want to mess around with measuring with a cup, adding and replacing tablespoons. Here is the exact amount in grams that you should mix: 109g all-purpose flour (a cup does not have 109g but remember that the 2 tablespoons have already been removed here) 16g corn starch (cornstarch) 6g baking powder 2g salt If the recipe calls for more flour you have to double or triple these amounts. It is important that before making this flour you check that your baking powder is working well and is not expired. Store in a closed container and write the date you made the flour to keep track of the life time of the flour. This flour can have a shelf life of up to 1 year but this will depend on the expiration of your baking powder. I love using this flour in cakes, cupcakes and bundtcakes.

  • The Best Pie Crust Step by Step

    This pie crust is crispy with that flaky touch that makes it incredibly delicious to the palate. It's perfect for both sweet and savory pies. You're going to love it! Here, I show you how to make this pie crust step by step, including all the tricks to ensure it turns out perfect. Make sure not to overmix, as it's important to have small pieces of butter to give it that flaky touch. Also, do not knead the dough. Kneading this dough will develop the gluten in the flour and result in a tough and dense pie crust. It's super important that the butter and water are very cold before using. Heat is the number one enemy of this dough, so make sure the ingredients are cold and let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This pie crust is perfect for both sweet and savory pies, but if you want to make savory pies, you can omit the sugar if you prefer. You can prepare this recipe 1 to 3 days in advance and keep it refrigerated. You can also make it and freeze it for up to 3 months. If you're going to use frozen dough, transfer the dough to your refrigerator the night before to defrost. The next day, let it rest for about 10 minutes on your work surface, and it will be easier to handle.

  • Vanilla Cake

    This vanilla cake recipe produces a perfectly moist and fluffy cake, with a delicate crumb and rich vanilla flavor. It is the perfect recipe for any occasion, from a simple craving to a spectacular dessert. The key to a good cake is in the technique. Be sure to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, and don't be afraid to beat the eggs well. This will help to incorporate air into the cake and make it fluffy. The other key to success is not to over mix the batter. Once the flour is added, mix until just combined. Overmixing will make the cake heavy and tough.
