Batman: The Dark Knight Rises

Today on July 28th 2012, "The Dark Knight Rises" was released in Japan. I liked the story and the ending. This is a must watch movie :D

Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy.



My darling was excited to see it while I was concerned about the Colorado shooting... I totally understood that people at the theater thought the criminal was part of the show... I'm glad we were safe. whew...

Anyways, last time I saw Anne Hathaway was in The Princess Diaries! I liked the way she has a totally different personality. And yet, she was too attractive and beautiful :D

Fudgy Cake Pops - Video Recipe

This video will show you how to make Fudgy Cake Pops using a Nordic Ware's Baking Pan which I bought in New York (at Sur La Table).


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxsricbYehc

The new innovative two-piece pan design allows you to bake a dozen perfectly round cakes or brownies, easy and fun to decorate! Unlike crumbled up cake pops, the cake is very soft and fluffy. The texture you get is absolutely distinctive! So I recommend this pan if you want to make perfect and delicious cake pops :D



---------------------------------
Fudgy Cake Pops *I modified the recipe on the Nordic Ware package.

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 20min + baking & cooling & decorating time
Number of servings: 24 cake pops

Note:
1cup = 250ml or 250cc

Ingredients:
((Fudgy Cake Pops))
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or 2 bars Meiji Milk Chocolate)
1/2 cup (100g=3.5oz.) butter
1/2 cup sugar
3 tbsp. cocoa powder
2 eggs
3/4 cup flour (or 3/4 cup cake flour + 1 tsp. baking powder)
1/4 tsp. salt
((Decoration))
12 oz. chocolate bark coating (or 2 Meiji Milk Chocolate Bars)
Meiji Twinkle Chocolate
Meiji Sweet Pen Chocolate
Meiji Sweet Pen White Cream
sprinkles of your choice
24 lollipop sticks

Directions:
((Fudgy Cake Pops))
1. Preheat the oven to 170C (338F). Grease and flour pan.
2. In medium saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate chips (or 2 Bars Meiji Milk Chocolate) and butter together. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and pour into medium bowl.
3. Add sugar and mix until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir until blended.
5. Spoon the batter into bottom half of pan (without holes) filling each well so it mounds over the top of the pan. (Norpro 1 tbsp. scoop works perfect.)
6. Place top half of pan on top and secure with keys. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out almost clean.
7. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then remove cake pops from pan to cool completely. Trim the edges of cake pops, if needed.
((Decoration))
1. Melt chocolate bark according to package directions.
2. Dip lollipop stick into melted chocolate and insert into cake. Repeat with all cakes. Allow chocolate to cool to secure stick in place.
3. Dip cake pop in melted chocolate, spinning to let excess chocolate drip off. Decorate with sprinkles as desired. If you have a Styrofoam box, you can make them stand to set. Makes about 24 cake pops.

* I didn't have a Styrofoam box, so I coated and decorated the cake pops first (placed them on a parchment paper and set) before I insert the sticks into cakes.
