Romeo and Juliet Cake

-

Yesterday, I just made a Romeo and Juliet cake. MMMMMM...... So good.  The reason why its called Romeo is because of the Guava paste and Juliet because of the parmesan cheese). It is actually the first time that I made this type of cake. I followed a recipe I got from my mom and added my own touch to spruce it up. It came out really yummy. I wish I could share a piece with you to try over the internet for you to see how truly delicious it really is. The cake is already half way gone...

Here is the recipe for you to try for yourself.

Ingredients
2 tbsp margarine
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
4 cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
2 cups guava paste (cut into cubes)
1 can condensed milk
50g shredded coconut
(Optional) 100g parmesan cheese


Method
Preheat your oven to 350F,

Then in a big bowl mix margarine and the sugar, then add in your eggs, flour (a little at a time), milk and baking powder. Mix it all well. Then butter and flour your baking tray and pour your cake mix into the baking tray. Now, with the cake still raw put in this order the cut up cubes of guava paste breaded in four (meaning- put flour in a small bowl and put your guava paste in the bowl with the flour to be covered in flour and to remove the stickiness of the paste)

Then on top of the guava paste that has been put on the cake pour your can of condensed milk, then your shredded coconut layered on top of the condensed milk and lastly your parmesan cheese sprinkled on top (some people might choose not to use the parmesan cheese because it sounds disgusting, but that is fine, you can do it with or without the cheese but the cheese does help to remove some of the sweetness and adds to that delicious flavor)


Bake in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes. Or until you stick a knife in the center and it is not still wet but instead dry.

Note: Whenever making any cake do not ever open the oven anytime before 30 minutes or else your cake will fall.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. ...

Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i...

Ingredients 2 cups hominy corn 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 1/2 cups coconut milk 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup condensed milk 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 tsp vanilla extract pinch salt How to make it: Soak hominy corn in water for a few hours or preferably overnight (If you are making this in a rush and don't have time to presoak your hominy corn. No problem it will just take a little longer to cook because soaking softens the corn.) Put your hominy corn in a pot with about 2 1/2 to 3 cups water and boil on medium high heat for about 30 minutes or until they are very soft that you can cut it with a knife or poke it with a fork. and the water is nearly gone Lower your heat to medium low and take half of your coconut milk and mix in the cornstarch to it until smooth. Put that in the pot as well as the rest of your coconut milk. It will automatically thicken your hominy corn mixture now add in nutmeg, vanilla evaporated milk and condensed milk. Bring to a light boil and...
