Strawberry Trifle

Ingredients:

Vanilla Pudding (store bought or homemade, recipe below)

Castella Cake (homemade or store bought, recipe below)

Strawberries

Whipped Cream (300 ml heavy cream, 40 g white granulated sugar)

Instructions

1. Create a layer of castella, then fill the sides with half cut strawberries. Then dice some strawberries, enough to create a whole new layer.

2. Top with the pudding, then add another layer of castella. You can add strawberries again but I didn’t.

3. Add your whipped cream and top with whole strawberries. Serve and enjoy!

Homemade Vanilla Pudding

2 ½ cups half and half

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup lightly packed light brown sugar

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract 

2 ½ tablespoons corn starch (I used 7 tsp of arrowroot flour)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of half and half to a simmer (do not boil). Add both sugars and vanilla. Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved, stirring constantly to prevent scalding. Stir in the butter until melted. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining half and half with the cornstarch. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the half and half whisking constantly. Continue cooking until the mixture has thickened and coats the back of a spoon. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap being sure the plastic wrap is touching the top of the pudding. (This will prevent a skin from forming.) Refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 24 hours.

Homemade Castella

6 large eggs (50 g each w/o shell) (at room temperature - very important!)

200 g sugar (1 cup)

200 g bread flour (1 ½ cup + 2 ½ Tbsp) (See Notes)

80 ml honey (⅓ cup; 5 Tbsp)

2 ½ Tbsp water (warm)

Honey Mixture for Brushing Castella

1 Tbsp honey

½ Tbsp water (warm)

INSTRUCTIONS

Gather all the ingredients.

Cut parchment paper to fit the baking pans (See the video for this process). https://youtu.be/a2vaM_aRHv4

Preheat oven to 320 ºF (160 ºC). (I always do this before I bake the dessert)

Sift the bread flour with the sifter or a fine-meshed strainer twice. Holding the handle with one hand and tapping the strainer gently with the other, the flour will gradually sift through the strainer.

Add 2 ½ Tbsp warm water to honey and whisk well.

Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment. Crack eggs into the bowl and vigorously whisk until combined.

Add the sugar

Beat the eggs and sugar on high speed (Speed 10) for 5 minutes.  The volume of the beaten eggs will increase about 4 times. The texture will be thick and the color will be pale yellow. When you stop the mixer and lift the whisk attachment, the mixture should fall in ribbons.

Add the honey mixture into the egg mixture and whisk on low speed (Speed 2) until combined, about 30 seconds.

Add the bread flour at three separate times: add 1/3 of the bread flour and whisk on low speed (Speed 2) for 15 seconds, then add more flour and whisk for 15 seconds. Add the last remaining portion and whisk until just combined for about 1 minute. Do not overmix.

Spray the loaf pans with oil and spread out evenly with pastry brush.

Put the parchment paper in the pans and make sure the paper sticks to the pans. If not, add oil and spread out evenly with a brush.

Pour the batter into the pans (about 80% full).

Using a skewer, draw a zigzag line to remove the air bubbles in the batter.

Level batter in each pan by holding pan 2-inches above counter dropping it flat onto counter. Do this several times to release air bubbles.

Bake at 320 ºF (160 ºC) in the middle rack of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Mix 1 Tbsp honey and ½ Tbsp warm water in a bowl and apply the honey mixture on top of the cake with a pastry brush.

Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the counter top. Take out the cake from the pan to the plastic wrap, top facing down. Gently peel off parchment paper.

Immediately wrap the cake with plastic wrap to keep the moisture and while it’s hot store in the refrigerator overnight (at least 12 hours), keeping the top side facing down. This will help the cake have more fine and moist texture.

To serve, slice off the sides of the cake with a sharp bread knife and cut into ¾ to 1 inch thick slices (you get 7-8 slices total). It’s better if you bring the cake to room temperature before serving.

Iced Lavender Milk Tea🥛

hello! it’s rather warm where i am right now but i really love tea and milk teas, so i made this up last night!

lavender syrup

1 cup of water

2 cups of sugar

2 tablespoons of lavender (maybe try other flowers!)

put the lavender buds and water into a small saucepan and have it reach a boil! once it does, add the sugar and reduce heat so that it simmers (probably medium low). have it simmer for about fifteen minutes. once that time has past set it aside to cool!

tea!

brew a tea you prefer! i did earl grey, but chamomile would work too!! i’d do two tea bags since you’ll be adding ice and milk. once it is at a strength you find appropriate take out the bags and let it cool!

fill glass about a third full of ice, then add tea, maybe three spoonfuls of the syrup, and milk!

add a little vanilla extract if you have it!

for all you witchy folks too, lavender is known for symbolizing love, so share it with someone you love to welcome in the warm weather!! also feel free to add the extra lavender syrup to other drinks too, it’s very tasty!

MAGICK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Ever wonder why your mom’s chocolate chip cookies tasted so good? I always did that’s for sure.

My grubby toddler hands would snatch one from the kitchen and cram it into my mouth, melted chocolate dripping from my chin. Turns out Magick can explain it. 

Ingredients + Magick correspondences

Witchy Tip: Place a piece of rose quartz charged with positive energy near the food to make the food taste better

¾ cup Crisco Butter flavored shortening

Stick with me here, Crisco makes your cookie more airy and soft. 

1 cup dark brown sugar

Sweetness, Comfort, Love

¼ cup white sugar

For romance and love

2 cups All-Purpose Flour

For Consistency 

2 tablespoons milk (any milk will do)

For love and nurturing 

¾ teaspoon baking soda

To banish negative energy

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

For love, lust and luck

1 egg

For finding true love 

1 teaspoon of sea salt

To Banish Negative energy 

½ cup chopped pecans

Wealth, Prosperity

Chocolate Chips and Chopped Chocolate bar (I use Hershey) No measurement, because you measure that shit with your heart.

For comfort

Directions

Start by heating your oven to 375ºF.

Now in a kitchen aid on medium speed, beat your shortening, sugar, milk, and vanilla until very light and airy. About the duration of 2 plays of the song Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka

Beat in egg. Now in a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended. 

Now with your chocolate chips pour in until your heat says stop. If you wanna add the whole bag then you add the whole damn bag.

With a cookie scoop, scoop them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Now I know there is no such thing as a perfect chocolate chip cookie, but these cookies are definitely hella addictive. In fact, is that your third cookie?

I love you all! My DMs, mail, and comments are always open! 

xoxo, Angel.

My heart rots behind its walls

I haven’t seen it in years, I do not trust myself with it anymore

My hands are bloody from scraping at the brick, mixing with the dried mortar on my palm

I’m sorry, I whisper to it

I’m so sorry

HOT COCOA TO WARM A ICY HEART POTION

Is there one person in your life that just absolutely gets on every one of your nerves? Do you still have to associate with them even though they make your teeth grind? This hot cocoa will calm your nerves and release your heart from its icy cadge. You will then find a little more tolerance to deal with said person.

What you will need:

2 Hershey bars

2 tbsp vanilla sugar

2 tbsp cocoa powder

1 soft caramel candy

1 tbsp condensed milk

1/4 tsp instant coffee (not coffee grounds, I’ve made that mistake before lol)

3 cups milk

Whipped cream

Directions

Heat your milk and condensed milk on medium heat. Add in your vanilla sugar, caramel candy, and instant coffee. Melt in your chocolate chips and stir in cocoa powder. Let simmer for about 5 minutes before ladling into cups, and serve with whipped cream.

Take your hot chocolate into a quiet place and sit in the center of the room. Say this incantation three times before pressing your lips to the cup and drinking it.

Hiya! I’ve got a great drink for you to celebrate the upcoming Autumn Sabbats:

Lavender Cider Tea:

This one is super easy.

Serves: 1

Ingredients:

3x Apples

water to cover but not over fill

blender

french press for coffee or cheese cloth (and a funnel and bowl if you use cheese cloth)

1tblsp vanilla

1tsp cinnamon

1tblsp of food grade lavender

1tblsp of sugar (I use monkfruit sweetener myself)

Directions:

1. Chop apples into chunks removing the core. Blend the apples in your blender with enough water to cover

2. Pour apple mix into french press and slowly filter out the apple purée. (If using cheese cloth. Add apple purée slowly. And let it drain. After, squeeze as much fluid out as you can) Do this a few times until mostly clean. (took me a couple filters, but I do smaller batches)

3. pour cider into a saucepan to heat. Add sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla

4. once heated, skim off some of the scum that floats to the top. And pour into a cup with your lavender (I use a reuseable tea/spoon steeper.

5. Let steep for 3-5 min

(I use the leftover apple purée and I make a doggy treat, I mix in plain yogurt with a bit of natural peanut butter and stick it in the freezer for my dogs later. Just make sure there’s no seeds)

Enjoy! Great for sleep or celebrating a harvest sabbat. Or if you want to do a past life regression journey. As lavender has great mental benefits.

Let me know how your cider tea turns out!
