Snickerdoodle Doughnut muffins

These are really very tasty, a nice small treat.  The inside is nice a fluffy while the top has a nice crunch.  I made these for work and everyone loved them.  I think I will add these to the treats I made during the Christmas Holidays.  Would be a nice treat to go with breakfast.

Snickerdoodle Donut Muffins

Ingredients

3/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Cup Butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
3/4 Cup Milk (I used 1/2 cup half n hald and 1/4 cup water)
1 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour 

1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg (fresh)
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Cream of Tartar (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder

For dipping your donut muffins, prepare the following:

In a small bowl,
Melt 1/2 cup butter
In a small bowl mix,

1/2 cup Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon 

 

 

 

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F.  Spray mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.  In a large bowl, mix melted butter, sugar and vanilla - mix until smooth. Next pour milk over mixture, set aside, do not mix.  In a medium size bowl, mix the remaining dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cinnamon, cream of tartar and nutmeg).  Pour your dry ingredients over the butter/sugar/vanilla/milk mixture -and mix until just blended.  Using a spoon or a scooper, fill each muffin 3/4 full.   Place in oven on middle rack and bake 18-20 minutes, until lightly golden brown.  Remove from oven.  Take each donut muffin, and while they are still warm (not too hot), dip them completely in melted butter and roll them in cinnamon sugar mixture. Place on wax paper to cool.  Enjoy them warm or cold.

Thanks for stopping by, give these a try think you'll really enjoy them.  Have a wonderful day and Always Remember to Find the Time to Do All the Things you love.

Chocoate mayonnaise cake

This is one of the most moist cakes I've ever made and is also so yummy.  I think next time I make it I will do cupcakes with a whipped cream filling.  There are so many different icings you could use too.
This is a must try recipe, oh yes I might add a very easy one too.
 This is the cake before the icing.  Many that ate this said they like it both ways. 

CAKE
Ingredients:
•2 cups of all-purpose Flour
•2/3 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder
•1 1/4 teaspoon of baking Soda
•1/4 teaspoon baking powder
•3 eggs
•1 2/3 cup sugar
•1 teaspoon vanilla
•1 cup of Mayonnaise
•1 1/3 cups water

Grease a 9inch square or line with parchment paper that has been butter on the bottom of the pan and also the parchment paper.  (for ease of taking cake out of pan)
Mix all wet items first in a mixing bowl till well blended. Add all dry items but the flour and cocoa, once well blended add the flour and cocoa a little at a time. Once it is well blended pour batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 350° for about 30 or/and a tooth pick comes out clean. *****I made mine in a 8 inch square and it took about 50 minutes to cook***.   Let cake completely cool before adding frosting.

PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:
Ingredients:
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, if desired
1/4 to 1/3 cup milk

Mix powdered sugar and peanut butter in medium bowl with spoon or electric mixer on low speed. Stir in vanilla and 1/4 cup milk. Beat until smooth and spreadable. If necessary, stir in additional milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
