White Chocolate & Macadamia Nut Batter

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Grind the macadamia nuts until obtaining a flour.
  2. Grease the molds with melted butter and flour them as well. This will ensure a clean release of the cake after the baking.

  4. In the meantime, sift the cake flour and the baking powder together.
  5. Turn to low speed and add the yogurt, followed by the sifted ingredients, the melted chocolate and the ground macadamia nuts.
  6. Transfer into a piping bag.
  7. Pipe 360 g (12.7 oz) of batter in the molds and tap them on the table to make sure they are evenly filled. The quantity of batter depends on the size of the cake mold.
  8. Cover with a silicone mat and a metal tray.
  9. Bake at 150°C (302°F) for 32 minutes.
  10. Turn the molds upside down but leave the molds on the cakes.
  11. Let the cakes slightly cool down.
  12. Unmold and wrap them with plastic film and place them in the freezer.

I am new to baking and this is my stress reliever. I enjoy baking cakes though I'm not an expert but I admit that my pastries are good lol because I strictly follow the ingredients and cooking process. Hope to read more of your tips because this is informative. Thanks, by the way. <a href="https://citationvault.com">Local Citations</a>
