 Ingredients All-purpose flour- 3 tbsp Instant coffee powder-1 tsp Drinking chocolate powder or sweetened cocoa powder-2 tbsp Sugar- 2 1/2 to 3  tbsp Baking powder- 1/4 tsp Milk- 2tbsp Egg- 1 large Canola oil-2 tbsp Vanilla extract-1/2 tsp Spray canola oil Preparation In a mixing bowl combine all-purpose flour, coffee powder, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well. Add milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract, and stir with a fork, just until combined. Spray canola oil into the ceramic (or glass) bowl so it won't stick. Add the contents of the mixing blow to the ceramic bowl and microwave on high for 90 seconds (or a few seconds more) until cooked through.  DO NOT OVER COOK.  Having said that, we have a very old, weak microwave, it took almost 5 minutes. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or simply dust with powdered sugar. Or just wait until it cools and dig in. NOTE: You can use cocoa or baking powder instead of drinking chocolate mix, and in that case add 1 or 2 tsp s...

tl;dr Ingredients: 1.5 kg tongue (about three lbs?) 0.35 kg dried fruit, I prefer apricots and raisins (about 12 oz?) (you can use less, see below) 1 can of tomato sauce, about 15 ounces or 450 grams  1.5 cups water 1/2 cup brown sugar Yes, I know this isn't exact. It's also not baking, so, whatever. Preparation: Thaw the tongue and boil for at least three hours at a low boil and make sure the water covers the meat. It's done when you can stick a fork in and it comes out reasonably easily. Let it cool, peel it and slice it thin, and put it into a skillet with a lid. For the sauce, combine everything into a little pot, and bring it to a boil. Pour the sauce over the tongue, and simmer for 45 minutes. Enjoy! You can stop reading now, the rest is me rambling. I may edit this post at some point. I normally don't post recipes here unless I've tried them and gotten good reactions from the people eating them. But preparing tongue for people can be a little funny. People he...

This is intended for a 9 inch springform baking pan. Assumption: You're using a mixer like a Kenwood or a KitchenAid. If you're using a hand mixer, that's fine. I don't, but I can't imagine it's too different. Ingredients for the crust - 1 cup (225 g) graham cracker crumbs (add more if you don't just want it on the bottom) (use Lotus in Israel, works out better) - 2 Tbsp (25 g) sugar (probably can skip if you're using Lotus crackers... better anyway that way) - ¼ cup (60 g) unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for coating the baking pan (more like 1/2 cup if more crackers for sides but don't overdo) Ingredients for the cheesecake - 1 kg (yes, really) high fat cream cheese, at room temperature. Take out the cream cheese hours and hours in advance. - 1 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp (275 g) sugar - 3 Tbsp (22 g) corn starch - 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract - 2 tsp (4 g) finely grated lemon zest - 3 large whole eggs - 1 large egg yolk (don't get fanatical about rem...
