Olympics are over


OLYMPICS UPDATE: NZ

NZ is 15th on the Olympic medal table J and Vallire Vilie a woman shot putter for New Zealand got her medal upgraded because the woman who got 1st place FAILED THE DRUG TEST L I think New Zealand did a good job of getting medals especially in ROWING and in water sports… New Zealand earned 13 medals J Plus we are a small country!!!!

Gold- 6
Silver- 2
Bronze- 5

TOTAL- 13

I forgot to tell you that I drew the Olympic rings on my hand on the days when the opening and closing ceremony of the Olympics.












I’m EXCITED FOR RIO DE JANERIO OLYMPICS in 2016 

Maybe next time you and your friends and family should have like a MAJOR OLYMPIC WATCHING party eg making an Olympic ring cake
That’s what I’m planning to do next time

Recipe: Edmonds Chocolate Cake


Last week my friend made a DELISIOUS chocolate cake using Edmond’s cookery book recipe . For the people who don’t know the Edmonds cookery book, it's a book with recipes which are trialed and tested and contains kiwi recipes eg Hokey pokey biscuits = SO YUMMMY


website for edmonds cookery book: Check the Page " The blogs and websites I like" on my blog


Edmonds Chocolate cake recipe


175 g butter, softened

1 cup sugar
3 eggs
3 tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups Edmonds plain baking flour
1 teaspoon Edmonds baking powder

 METHOD

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition
Dissolve cocoa in the boiling water
Sift flour and baking powder together
Add to creamed mixture alternately with cocoa mixture
Pour mixture into a greased and lined 22 cm round cake tin
Bake at 180°C for 45-50 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched or when the knife is clean when doing the knife test.
Leave in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack
When cold ice with Chocolate Icing or dust with icing sugar if desired

Tips

- DOn't forget to grease the sides and the bottom of the cake tin so it does not stick to the tin.

- Do not open the oven often because the cake needs the tempreture for it to cook.

- Place a few paper towels on the table before placing the cooling wire rack so that the excess crumbs can be put into the bin or maybe even eat.
