Tres Leches Cake

I made this cake for my mother's birthday... the original recipe is from Food Network 

A little sloppy put so much better than I thought. 

Fun candles! 

Purple Whip Cream Frosting and homemade chocolate decorations.

Filled with strawberries and black berries. 

 The recipe from Food Network was great! I separate the batter in to two cake batters, gave me some room for mistakes while cutting the layers. I made the cake into three layers, bottom one being the thickest. I placed cake in a spring pan poured one cup of soaking liquid, whip cram and fruit, cake 1.2 cup of soaking liquid, whip cream and fruit, last layer 1/4 cup of soaking liquid.

I just made my own icing using 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tsp of vanilla and purple food color. I made the decorations, prepare my covering a plate or something flat with tin foil, then melting some milk chocolates and place the melted chocolate in a small plastic bag and snip the corner. Go decorations happy making designs and then place the plate in a fridge. Remove gently from foil. 

Very sweet cake! Great with some black coffee

ICE CREAM CAKE

Bottom: Cake Recipe, from Hershey's, I made half: 

2 cups sugar

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup HERSHEY’S Cocoa

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup of boiling water

Bake in a spring form pan, the one where the sides of the cake pan cane be removed. After baking the cake I let it cool, and sliced off the top. Just the right amount to be on the bottom of an ice cream cake and spread a layer of yummy nutella. 

Middle: Spread softened ice cream.I purchased some pistachio flavored gelato from an ice ream shop, this cake was for my dad's birthday and it is his favorite flavor. 

Top the cake with this yummy topping

Top: Whip some heavy whipping cream into stiff peaks then fold in as much nutella are you like, then spread it over the top of the cake. 

Put some saran wrap around it so your ice cream doesnt stick to the pan

Shave of the top and smooth the saran wrap marks with a warm spoon

Decorate!!!!
I used dyed whipped cream.

A HEALTHY Blueberry Muffin!?!?

Ingredients: Blueberries, fresh, 1 cup Applesauce, unsweetened, 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, 3/4 cup, unpacked Egg, fresh, 2 Whole Wheat Flour, 1 1/4 cup Baking Powder, 1 tsp Baking Soda, .5 tsp Salt, .5 tsp Cinnamon, ground, 1 tbsp Fat Free Sour Cream, 3/4 cup Vanilla Extract, 1 tbsp

They look cute right, now for the real low done, taste gets a B-
needs either more sugar or more applesauce and cinnamon. 

Mix applesauce and sugar, add eggs, vanilla, add dry ingredients, sour cream and then fold in blueberries. Sprinkled the top a bit of flour, brown sugar, and oats. Makes about 20 muffins. Cook at 400 for 20 min. I typed the nutrients and each one came out under 100 calories. Next time though I would make less to have bigger muffins.
