Monster Bundt Cake#BundtBakers

A super fun and easy Halloween Monster Bundt Cake! All you need is a few ingredients to make this fun Monster Bundt Cake and most important is candy eyeballs which are homemade! I have used my Homemade Chocolate Cake.
For The Homemade Chocolate Cake Mix 
Dry Ingredients
200 Grams All Purpose Flour
20 Grams Corn Flour
400 Grams Caster Sugar
90 Grams Cocoa powder ( Dutch Process)
7 Grams Baking powder
7 Grams Baking soda
3 Grams Salt
Wet Ingredients
3 Small Eggs Or 2 Large
125 ML Vegetable Oil
2 Teaspoons Vanilla Essence
200 ML Warm Coffee
To Make The Butter Milk
225 ML Whole Milk
2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice or White Vinegar
Other Ingredients
For The White Icing /Glaze
3 Cups Icing Sugar
Milk as required
½ Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
Coloring Orange, Purple, Green
For Homemade Candy Eyeballs
White Chocolate
Dark Chocolate
Edible Black Color

Method
For The Homemade Chocolate Cake Mix
Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. 
Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place for up to 3 months or until ready to use.
When Ready To Bake
Preheat oven to 170°C. Prepare two 8-inch round cake pans or a 10 cup Bundt mold.
Whisk butter milk, oil, eggs, coffee and vanilla in a large bowl until well mixed and slightly frothy.
Add the dry mix and whisk until just barely combined and smooth (do not over mix). This is a liquidy batter. 
Pour cake batter in a well greased Bundt pan. Bake 60 - 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (baking time depends on the pan size). 
Allow to cool completely then invert onto a plate.
For The White Icing /Glaze
Make the icing in a large bowl. Divide frosting into three/four bowls and add a different color of food coloring to each.
Add color to the glaze by mixing in a few drops of food coloring.
Place each icing in a piping bag and cut a tiny hole in one of the corners. Drizzle frosting over the cake. Repeat with remaining colors.
For Homemade Candy Eyeballs
Melt the white and dark chocolate as required. Pour this into a small piping. Take a plastic sheet, pipe the white dots, when it cools place a dark chocolate dot on top. Let this cool completely. With a tooth pick make a black dot on top of the dark chocolate.
My suggestion the black dot remains wet even after a day of drying, so mix it with the dark chocolate and then make a black dot. When I was placing the eyes on the cake the black color smudges.
 Add eyeballs all over the cake immediately after adding the frosting. 
Serve and Enjoy!

Air Fryer Pasta Chips#MultiCookerMonday

This is another TikTok sensation made with cooked pasta that’s tossed with olive oil, parmesan cheese, spices, that are then air fried until crispy! They come out so crunchy, perfect for dipping with your favorite sauce for a fun appetizer!
These air fryer pasta chips don’t need a lot of oil. A teaspoon or up to 1 tablespoon is plenty and will make them perfectly crispy! Air Fry the pasta in batches. Depending on the size of the air fryer basket, you may need to separate the pasta into batches to avoid overcrowding, which can affect the results.
Shake the air fryer basket a few times. While cooking the pasta chips, make sure to shake the basket to allow all the surface areas to get crispy. Made this for my hubby's birthday to serve as a starter.

Ingredients
200 Grams Penne Pasta
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
½ Teaspoon All Purpose Seasoning
Sea Salt
Hot Sauce as required

Method
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta al dente according to package directions and drain.

Toss the hot pasta with olive oil, hot sauce, all purpose seasoning, salt and pepper.

Arrange a single layer in the air fryer basket and Air fryer them in a preheated air fryer at 200°C for 15 minutes, tossing a couple times.
Serve the pasta chips with a dip of your choice.

In a large bowl mix in the flour and salt in a bowl. In a jar mix in the milk, sugar and yeast , keep it aside for 5 minutes. Then add in the yeast mixture to the flour and knead to form a smooth dough. Take the dough on to a work surface add the softened butter and knead again for 5 minutes till it smooth and soft dough. Place this in a oiled bowl, cover and let it rise till double in volume.
Deflate the dough and divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Keep the three parts aside covered. 
For the remaining one, add the food coloring and knead it well. Divide this into 9 equal parts. Roll them into smooth round ball. Cover with a wet cloth and let rest for 15 minutes.
Take the three dough balls and roll each into a round smooth ball and place them in long oiled aluminum tray/mold.
With your finger make an indent the part that hits the nose and cheeks, and put the nose and cheeks on it. Cover and keep it rise for 15 minutes.
Apply the egg wash to Anpanman Rolls. Bake in a preheat oven at 180°C for 18 to 20 minutes.
