Diva Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcake

I made these yummy creamy cupcakes for our tea break. I made a dozen for each batch and by the time I baked the second batch, 10 cupcakes had been eaten by the children. It is surely a hit! I googled the recipe but the original recipe calls for oil and water but I substitute it with butter and milk to make it more creamier.

Diva Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcake


Ingredients:

Cream cheese filling:
250gm cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg

1. Beat all the ingredients till creamy. Put aside.

Cupcakes:
1/2 butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup cocoa powder

1. Beat butter and sugar.
2. Add in milk. Mix well.
3. Add in flour, baking powder, chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Mix well.
4. Ready the cups on the cupcake tray. This cupcake batter is not runny and you can easily scoop 1 tbsp cupcake batter and 1 tbsp cream cheese filling. Bake for about 20-25 minutes in 180 degrees celsius oven.  I use my microwave using the baking cookies auto menu.

Sirloin steak with grilled potato, tomatao and asparagus with creamy beef steak rosemary sauce Diva style.

I made this for our lunch today, with my  6 months old AIFA by ELBA stove. The recipe is very easy and you can just throw any vegetables that you want to suit your taste. The sauce of course can be easily bought in packets, just add in cream to make it creamier. I bought most of the imported stuff such as the seasoning, herb and walnut oil from Supa Save, Seria, Brunei DS.

Ingredients:

Sirloin steak, cut into desired sizes
Potato
Asparagus
Tomato
Any brand of beef steak sauce
Cream
Robertson's Texan sizzling steak seasoning
MasterFoods's Garlic and Herb salt
Butter
Walnut Oil





1. Rub the sirloin steak with Texan sizzling salt and marinate it for about an hour or 2.
2. Rub the potatoes, asparagus and tomato with butter and the Masterfood's Garlic and Herb salt. Leave it for 1/2 hour then grill it in the oven, according to your oven's grill temperature for vegetables.
3. After 1 hour, pan fry the steak with hot fire for about 3 minutes each side then transfer it to the oven. Sizzle with a little bit of walnut oil or olive oil before you grill it. Grill it till cook to your likeness; rare, medium, well done.
4. For the sauce, cook according to the instruction per packet but add cream into it to make it creamier and season well to perfection. I use Maggi's Cukup Rasa.
5. Assemble all in a plate and ready to be serve.
