I've given up working with chocolate. I tried, time and again but failed, miserably. Everything just tastes so bitter. I'm probably arriving at the correct result [according to the recipe] but it doesn't match my taste. 70% cocoa.

Anyway, I just got James Martin, Desserts. I've had a quick look through it and I've seen some scrumptious recipes that I shall be trying out at some point insha Allah.

I made brownies using Nesquick chocolate powder. It came out decent, but I doubt I'll be using it again.

I might make blueberry muffins and chocolate chip cookies tonight. Need a recipe for blueberry muffins though, never made them before.

Well I'm certain of it. But what I was trying to say was just that I wasn't after anyone's... 'charms'

A couple of nights ago, I was at a dinner party. I was going to bring baking, but I really suck. So I ended up taking spinach dip/bread bowls.

Is it better to use a wet knife to cut warm brownies or a plastic one1?

Never mind. Plastic knife worked great.

recipes using sour cream usually make very moist chocolate cakes. recipes with buttermilk also come close.

Sister Aida, I think you might like the results from this recipe
From To Die For Blueberry Muffins - Allrecipes
SUBMITTED BY: Colleen

"These muffins are extra large and yummy with the sugary-cinnamon crumb topping.
I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful extra-generously-sized deli style muffin.
Add extra blueberries too, if you want!"

PREP TIME 15 Min
COOK TIME 25 Min
READY IN 40 Min
SERVINGS & SCALING
Original recipe yield: 8 large muffins
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/3 cup milk (or buttermilk)
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup white sugar( or brown sugar)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, cubed (room temp)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon



DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with muffin liners.
Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, salt and baking powder. Place vegetable oil into a 1 cup measuring cup; add the egg and enough milk to fill the cup. Mix this with flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin cups right to the top, and sprinkle with crumb topping mixture.
To Make Crumb Topping: Mix together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup flour, 1/4 cup butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon. Mix with fork, and sprinkle over muffins before baking.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until done.

Ah, JazakAllah khair! I was looking up recipes last night and most of them called for ingredients that I didn't have at home. This one seems feasible and I have all the required ingredients.
