Cooking: Have a brookie or cake

Don`t worry. You are not seeing double. I am sure you have seen those pictures around many times. Maybe you even tried to bake them as well -if so let me know how it went-
Before I tried the brookies, I also did practice with a cake for one of my friends B Day. Which I brought to work, so It kinda was a big deal - or I made it one -

I tried a chocolate cake, yeah random, I know.
Below you can read how it went, followed by my first brookies :)
Hope you enjoy, let me know what you would like me to try maybe as well :)


Brookies
:



With the brookies, You first get cocoa powder, caster sugar and veg.oil together in a boil, mix it all together, and then piece by piece get the eggs,vanilla extract and flour in. After all is mixed together, you leave it in the bowl to cool for 4 hours -at least I followed that rule- after that. Spoon by spoon- try to make them all the same size- get them on the baking paper and up in the oven for 12 Min. -depending on oven- 
And ready they are !!!!



Chocolate Cake




I basically put everything in a big bowl, piece by piece, I also put 150g butter in, not sure if that`s a German thing or not :) But yeah mix that together for maybe 4 Min. after that. In the buttered form and in the oven for about 45 Min. and 175*
After that not only your apartment smells perfect, but you also have a nice cake :)
