Chocolate Almond Muffins

Right after my morning paper yesterday, I had lunch with my dear friend Kerrie. Then I felt so happening to make something, yes, so I decided to do baking!

Actually I like making rather than eating my own masterpieces. I love to make things for my family and friends, because I enjoy seeing their smiling faces after eating my homemade bakery, but I'm not sure whether the food really tastes good, or they are just showing respect (give face)? Anyway, please don't be shy to give comments if you find the food is not delicious, or something wrong with my recipes that I'm sharing. Just tell me, so that I can improve better next time! I would just like to accept! ;)

This is not the first time I made muffins, but just trying out a new recipe from a new cook book! Hmmm... I think they taste better once they were out from the oven. Now, pictures are just for display, the actual ones may be a bit different ok....=)

Ingredient (A)
200 grams of butter/ margarine
100 grams of icing sugar
4 egg yolks

Ingredient (B)
30 grams of caster sugar
4 egg whites

Ingredient (C)
200 grams of low protein flour
20 grams of cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon of soda powder
1 teaspoon of baking powder

Ingredient (D)

Almond flakes
Chocolate chips
Raisins


Bake at 180。C for 30-35 minutes

* you can add in cocoa essence and 1 tablespoon of liquor just for a better smell and taste.

Wheat (A) and blend over low speed. Then prepare another clean and smaller bowl to blend (B) until light and fluffy. Now put in and mix both gently and add in (C) in accordance. Then you can add in whatever optional ingredients that you like fill in big scoops into molds with paper cups to be ready.

Just baked!

This is a bit 'too-much' in a paper cup, but I like it! =)

Just splash some icing sugar on them to do some decoration. Simple!

This is quite simple, but I always mess the kitchen up most of the time and I broke an egg onto the floor yesterday. =P
Anyway, if you are going to make this, don't hesitate to post it up and share your experience! Have fun!
