Apple cake

One of my favorite cakes is apple cake, little ingredients and easy to make. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. You can make it for a birthday party, kids love it too. Or just an afternoon treat for yourself. I've made it so often that I know by heart how to make it.
And now you can too :-)

Here's what you'll need:

200g flour

200g butter

200g sugar

5 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tsp. baking powder

2 apples

baking mold +/- 25 cm

Here's how to make it:

Preheat the oven to 160°C. Whisk flour, baking powder and sugar in a bowl until combined. Melt the butter in the microwave on very low heat, check every 15 sec. if it's melted. Pour the melted butter in the big bowl and mix with a fork. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until you have a smooth batter. Fold in the chopped apples. Pour the batter in the mold and put it in the oven for about 50min. Bake until the cake is lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes. Serve with a scoop of ice cream ;-) Enjoy!

Knitting needle pouch

Yay, my first item on demand! A colleague of mine asked me to make her a pouch for her knitting needles and her crochet needles. I allready made the knitting pouch and this is the result:

I showed her some pictures on FB this weekend and she's very happy with it! And if my client is happy, than I am SUPER happy :-D

So if there is anything you like on my Blog, Pinterest or Etsy-shop, but you want it in an other fabric or size, don't hesitate to ask me. ;-)

Moroccan zucchini soup

Pinterest showed me a picture of a very good looking soup.
I tried it and loved it!
The coconut milk and the seasoning go very well together. Few ingredients and it was super easy to make. My picture might not be as magazine worthy as the original post but it sure tasted super yummy!

You can find the recipe in Dutch here.

For the people who don't speak Dutch, here's the recipe in English ;-)

Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 1 tsp ras el hanout
- 1 zucchini
- 750 ml chicken stock (I used vegetable stock cuz I'm a vegetarian)
- 50 ml coconut milk

Preparation
Clean the onion and chop finely.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a generous teaspoon of (coconut) oil. Fry the onion.

Add the ras el hanout in the last 2 minutes and stir.

Cut the zucchini into small pieces and fry together with the onions.

Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables and bring slowly to a boil.
Reduce the heat when the soup boils and let simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the pan from the fire and mix the soup with a hand blender until smooth.

Stir in the coconut milk and serve immediately.

And the people from the original post had this amazing result:
