FASTER, STRONGER, QUIETER!

So...I have had my Bosch for a few years. They last forever! I could have just kept going strong for a long time. But...the "new and improved" Bosch Universal Plus came out recently...and I HAD TO HAVE ONE! So...I subbed for a co-worker for a couple of weeks and saved up my pennies! It arrived today....yes! It has a stronger motor, bigger capacity, the cord goes in underneath it (that used to really bug me that the cord just hung around behind it...always in the way!) and suction cup feet...so it doesn't move around when it kneads.

But it gets even better....I made my usual 5 loaf batch of bread! It is a dream. Quieter! Stronger! Easier to clean! (the drive-shaft comes out of the middle in the Universal Plus).

I LOVE IT! If you want to make nutritious bread for your family...where you control what is in it, you KNEAD (get it!) a Bosch mixer and a Nutrimill Wheat Grinder!

The other great thing is that you can make triple batches of cookies or whip 1 egg white into 1 1/2 cups of meringue...It is so user friendly!

Peanut Butter Fudge Cake

Yesterday was Shane's birthday...19 years old! He asked for this cake. It is a favorite around here and usually when someone else eats a piece they want the recipe! It is really moist and fudgy; but the best part is the layer of peanut butter between the cake and the frosting!



In the words of Brother Bennett...Super-Duper Double Deluxe!



Peanut Butter Fudge Cake

2. flour

1 t. baking soda

2 c. sugar

1 c. butter

1/4 cocoa powder

1 c. water

1/2 c. buttermilk

2 eggs

1 t. vanilla

1 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter

Chocolate Frosting

Combine the first three ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside. Melt butter in a medium saucepan and add the cocoa. Mix well and add water, buttermilk, and eggs. Mix really well. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils. Add to the flour mixture and mix until batter is smooth.

Pour into a 9x13 pan, greased. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Cool for 10 minutes and spread on the peanut butter. (I put the peanut butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to make it more spreadable. That way it doesn't rip up the cake when you spread it on.)

Let it cool completely. You can put it in the fridge. Frost.

Chocolate Frosting

1 16 oz. pkg. Powdered sugar

1/4 c. cocoa

1/2 c. butter

1/3 c. buttermilk

1 t. vanilla

Bring cocoa, butter, and buttermilk to a boil over medium heat. Pour over powdered sugar. Add vanilla and beat unil smooth.

Spread over cooled cake.

My First Post

This is my first post! I thought I would add a photo of the bread I made the other day! 5 loaves in 90 minutes using a Nutrimill wheat grinder and my Bosch mixer! I love them! I decided to start this blog to give you ideas I learn along the way, food storage recipes and just yummy stuff I have found, random thoughts that go on in my head...scary...and of course funny stuff that happens to me!
