Yeah you read it right – pumpkin pie with good day biscuits crust. Kiddo is a big time pumpkin fan. He loves it in the pie, in the soup and even in sambhar. I have posted more than 10 pumpkin recipes so far (more than Brinjal) but pie is something that I have always missed. It’s because the pie never got a chance to come in front of the camera. Finally this time I had to prep the kiddo and clicked the pictures. Usually we need to let the pie sit for at least 2 to 3 hours after baking so that it gets firm. I prepare it in the night and leave it overnight. This time it didn’t go as planned and I baked in the evening and kiddo was behind me wanted it right away and I let it sit for only half an hour so that I can take pictures and serve it.

When I cook or bake, Vaandu will be my sous chef. It’s always fun to cook with him. We got him a small apron and cap and he always wears them and keeps asking me non-stop questions. During the April month baking marathon, he was helping me out with all the recipes. He was asking about the difference between conventional oven and microwave oven and how it works and OMG! This fella makes me read and research more. When we were trying our microwave Mysore Paahu (it’s his favorite sweet), he was asking me to bake a cake in microwave oven.

My friend and ex-colleague Tami used to bring these muffins for breakfast. I love them and got the recipe from her and used to prepare two big batches of it and freeze them individual zip lock bags. Every morning while packing my lunch I used grab the muffins from freezer for me and M. By the time we reach office it would have defrosted and will be perfect room temperature for us eat. Sometimes we might need to warm it up though. But having healthy homemade muffins in your freezer makes me feel good always. I think I forgot the recipe the moment I left Folsom. During this april month marathon, I wanted to try but lost the recipe. So pinged Tami and she posted it in her blog for me. :-)
The original recipe calls for wheat bran and it uses 1 egg. But I went with multi grains. I bought a packet of 10 grain hot cereal. So used that for this recipe. It is a blend of wheat, rye, millet, oats, brown rice, barley, corn, soy beans, oat bran, flax seeds and triticale. These grains are good source of iron and fiber. And this time I used flax seed as egg replacer.

Welcome to the 7th day of Baking Mania. Today I thought of trying zebra cake. It’s the combination of vanilla and chocolate flavor. I am not sure if I can call this cake as zebra cake, that’s why included vanilla and cocoa cake. The base recipe was taken from Gayathri’s blog but the measurement got changed. This time not to blame the kiddo it was my fault. I miscalculated while converting from Gms to cups and added ¼ cup of cocoa powder. Also Gayathri recipe calls for 1/3 of cocoa mixture but because of the measurement mistake I took ½ of cocoa mixture and ½ of vanilla mixture. Because of increase in cocoa I had to add more milk too. . I thought it’s going to be sodappal only. But it was pure sheer luck that it turned out ok. As it had more chocolate flavor, it turned it into bite sized pieces and served along with vanilla ice cream and it became a huge hit.
So here is the recipe.
Ingredients:
Cocoa Mixture:
Vanilla Mix:
Welcome to the 4nd day of Baking Mania.
I was planning to post a microwave recipe today, then when I realized its Easter weekend, I thought why not try some carrot cake? I took the base recipe from here. This time when I prepared the cake I didn’t add any walnuts as I was running out of walnuts. Instead added a handful of raisins. Also I went with regular milk instead of soy milk. Used additional milk to brush the top to get a soft crust. Any cream frosting will be good with this cake or simply whipping cream with fresh fruits would do too. Here is the simple carrot cake recipe. Have a great long weekend.

Welcome to the 2nd day of Baking Mania.
You can involve kids in kitchen for the prep work before baking. Its fun to work with them and it a great activity time too. It gives them the chance to understand what we do and to appreciate food. When they help to prepare food feeding the same becomes comparatively easy. Vaandu loves to help in kitchen. At times its so overwhelming and his help will cause me double the amount of clean up work. But I need to agree its a total fun. Mostly for all the cake and cookies he will be my sous chef. Here is a simple cake recipe from both of us :-)
For second day, I thought of posting basic sponge cake which forms the base for zillion other cake recipes like mango layered cake, Tres lesche etc. I learnt this recipe from Kamalika, one of the blogger from BM group. It’s a simple eggless sponge cake. I did make couple of variations. Instead of using plain yogurt, I used vanilla flavored yogurt and skipped using milk for brushing. This cake can be whipped up easily and its one of vaandu’s favorite. He can have this cake with whipping cream and fruits.
