Easy Vanilla-Cream Cake

Today's cake is one of the easiest ones you can imagine. Actually, the only real baking you have to do is while making the shell.



When it is cooled down, spread some tablespoons jam or preserve into it. I used black currant.


And now comes the lazy part:

I used instant no-cooking vanilla Pudding powder. Just mix in some milk and whip it up until it thickens. Pour it into the shell and sprinkle on some sugar decoration.

Orange White Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Today, there are cookies again. Those are not necessarily Christmas Cookies, but yummie nevertheless :)




All you need is:
 
100 g butter
grated zest of 1 orange
150 g flour
75 g sugar
1 egg yolk
 
Knead it all together and refrigerate for half an hour.
 
Next, mix up
 
100 g white chocolate (melted) and
65 g orange preserve
 
Roll out the dough very thin, about 3 mm, cut out 4-cm-circles and bake on 200° C for about 6-8 minutes.
 
When the cookies have cooled down, spread some of the orange-chocolate cream on half of the cookies and sandwich with the other half.



Ready to eat :)

Vanilla Glass Cupcakes

Be careful what you wish for...
Some cupcakes I made for a friend's birthday. Simple vanilla muffins with simple vanilla frosting, BUT the first time I made sugar glass.
