Vanilla cream cake

Ingredients for the 21cm cooking pan

The dough:

• 4 eggs (this is for babies older than 1)
• 120 g sugar
• 120 g flour
• a pinch of salt

The syrup:

• 300ml water
• juice and zest of a tangerine
• 3 tablespoons honey

The filling:

• 1 sachet vanilla pudding powder
• 3 sachets of vanilla sugar
• 700ml milk
• 1 sachet whipped cream powder

For preparing  the dough, I used the recipe of Laura Adamachi. Thank you very much Laura, due to your recipe I managed to make a perfect sponge every time!


Mix well  the eggs with a pinch of salt, add sugar and after about 20 min add the flour mixture.

Place a 21cm round baking paper in the cooking pan and coat its walls with oil and flour. Pour the mixture

into the pan and place it into the preheated 175 degrees oven for about 25 minutes. When is done, take it out and leave it to cool. Meanwhile prepare the cream.

Prepare the whipped cream with 200ml of milk and the pudding with 500ml milk, according to the instructions on the packages. The filling is composed of the pudding mixed with the whipped cream, leaving some cream for decorating the cake.

To prepare the syrup, mix the juice and the zest with some warm water and honey.

Once the dough has cooled, cut it in 2 or 3. Place the first slice on a plate, add some juice, then add some of the filling. Do the same with the second slice and then decorate the cake with the remaining whipped cream.

  

Enjoy it with your baby!

Stir&Fry - Broccoli and Asparagus

Ingredients:

• 1 Bowl of Broccoli, Asparagus and Brussels Sprouts
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon palm oil
• water

Stir&Fry uses maximum heat and small amounts of water to create a mini-sauna in the pan, preferably a wok.
This way the vegetables acquire a soft and crispy texture. The whole cooking process takes about 5 minutes. The vegetables will tell you when they are ready :)

Heat the palm oil in the wok and when is about to smoke, add the vegetables. Stir continuously with a wooden spatula.

Add the soy sauce and a tablespoon of water.Stir constantly and add one tablespoon of water from time to time until it evaporates. You must always hear a sizzle and create the mini-sauna that I mentioned.

In 5 minutes time(more or less, depending on the amount of vegetables), remove the wok from the heat.

Select some broccoli and asparagus for the baby, let it cool for a while and start eating it together. Served warm they are delicious.

Goulash

Ingredients:

800g veal steak
2 onions
1 carrot
1 pepper
500g potatoes
sweet paprika
Dried spices: basil, thyme, oregano
sweet pepper paste (optional, I did not use it this time)
salt (to taste)

Add 3 tablespoons of oil in a pot, one cup of water and add the chopped vegetables except the potatoes.



Leave them to simmer for 10-15 minutes and then add the meat.



After 10-15min add 2 cups of water, sweet paprika and dried herbs to taste.  Do not add salt until the end, it dehydrates the meat and makes it hard. Cover with a lid and when it begins to boil, add potatoes chunks.




Place the lid back, add some more water just to cover the potatoes and leave it to simmer until the potatoes are soft. In the end add a little salt. To thicken the gravy just add a little flour or starch.

Here is a picture of the goulash with home made bread and green salad.
In the little bowl there is blended goulash for your baby. It is recommended to eat together with your child. Enjoy your meal!
