Blueberry cake slices

Preparation time: 15-20 minutes

Cooking time: 20-25 minutes

A light and fluffy cake filled with blueberries

Ingredients:
4oz Butter
4oz Sugar
4½ oz Flour (using ½ oz to toss blueberries)
2 Eggs
200g Blueberries

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C and grease a 12 x 8 inch tin. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric whisk until pale and fluffy. Then you want to add in both eggs and mix well. After that gradually add in the flour and keep mixing until fully combined.

2. In a medium bowl, pour in the ½ oz of flour and tip all the blueberries in. Gently toss them in flour. This will help the blueberries to not sink to the bottom, making a soggy bottom. Carefully remove all the blueberries from the flour and add to your mixture. Using a spoon fold the blueberries into the mixture. (It doesn't matter if the blueberries squash as they will when they cook)

3. Pour the mixture into the tin and place into the oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. When cooked, take the cake out of the oven and set aside to cool. When cool, cut into slices and is ready to eat!

Chocolate mint balls

Preparation time: 10-15 minutes

Cooling time: 30 minutes

A beautiful chocolate mint ball for all the mint lovers out there! I'm certainly one of them!


Ingredients

154g Mint oreos
100g Chocolate spread
200g Dark chocolate
50g Icing sugar
Drop of green food colouring


1. Line a baking tray/dinner tray with greaseproof paper. Crush the oreo biscuits in a food processor. If you dont have a food processor you can place the biscuits in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin. Once you have crushed your biscuits place into a bowl with the chocolate spread. Mix with hands until fully combined.

2. Scoop a tablespoon of mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat this process until all the mixture has gone. Place into the freezer for around 10 minutes.

3. Melt the chocolate either in the microwave or over the pan. Take the balls out of the freezer and dunk one ball into the chocolate bowl at a time. Using two forks, coat the balls with the chocolate then lift the ball up onto one fork and gently shake it to drain the excess chocolate. Repeat this process until all the balls are coated. Place into the fridge for about 10-15 minutes.

4. When the balls are set, place the icing sugar into a bowl and add tiny drops of water. Stir well and add a drop of green food colouring in. Place into a small piping bag and pipe over the balls.
