  • 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract



To Decorate:
  • ¼ - ½ C Chocolate Covered Coffee Beans/ Small Chocolate Candies



Preheat the Oven to 350ĀŗF (180ĀŗC)


Grease and flour your pan. I’m using a 6 x 2 in Round Pan

To make the Cake:
In a bowl combine the flour with the salt, baking powder, baking soda and sugar, stir well and set aside for a minute.


Chop the unsweetened chocolate into small pieces and place them in a bowl, add in the butter and place them in the microwave for one minute so they can melt together. Stir and set aside for a minute.


In a large bowl, combine the milk with the espresso powder, stir for one minute just to make sure the coffee is well dissolved, and then add in the egg,  whisk until the egg is well incorporated with the rest of the ingredients.


Sift the flour mixture onto the milk mixture, stir together until combined, do not over mix. Add in the the melted chocolate, and stir again until combined.  Pour the batter into your prepared pan, and bake at 350ĀŗF for about 30-35 minutes or until the cake is well cooked.


Let the cake cool completely before decorating it.


To make the Icing:
In an electric mixer  on high speed beat the cream cheese with the butter for about 2 minutes or until everything is well combined into a creamy paste. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in the vanilla and the Dulce de leche/caramel,   continue to mix on high speed for 2 more minutes until well combined.   Scrape down the sides of the bowl,  add in half the powdered sugar, and beat for 20 seconds, add in the rest of the sugar and  set the speed to high and continue to mix for another 2 more minutes on high speed until you get a fluffy and creamy icing.

Once the cake is cold and the icing is done.
Cut the cake in half horizontally, you will end up with two layers. Using a knife flatten  up the top layer.  


Spread the surface of the bottom layer with some of the icing, make the icing layer about ¼ - ½ inch thick. then place the top layer over the icing on the bottom layer.


Now cover the whole cake with the icing.  Place the leftover icing in a piping bag and decorate the cake any way you want.


Decorate with the Chocolate covered Coffee Beans or chocolate candy. Enjoy!

Today’s recipe is a delicious Mexican Dish,  Huaraches, these are considered Mexican Street Food so they are very popular all around Mexico, the preparation might change a bit between regions but the end results is just as delicious!  I hope you give them a try!  Enjoy


Ingredients:
  • 2 C Maseca (Instant Corn Masa Mix)
  • 1 ⅓ C Water
  • 2 C Pinto Beans
  • Pinch Salt
  • Vegetable Oil for Frying



To Serve:
  • Refried Beans
  • Shredded Lettuce or Cabbage
  • Sliced Tomatoes
  • Sliced Onions
  • Salsa
  • Mexican Cream
  • Queso Fresco
  • Pickled Pork Skin



Refry the beans: In a skillet on medium heat, add one tablespoon of oil or lard and refry the beans, season them with salt and then mash them, cooked them for about 5 minutes.  Do not add any liquid, you want the beans to be very dry and well mashed.  Once they are done, set them aside to cool down a bit.


Prepare the Dough:  In a large bowl combine the Maseca with salt to taste and the water, stir well until you get a soft dough. The dough should be moist without being sticky.  If you feel the dough is too dry feel free to add more water one tablespoon at a time. If it feels too wet, add more Maseca until you get the desired texture.


Make the Huaraches.  Grab about 3 tablespoons of the dough and form it into an egg-kind of shape, then press it down with your hands to get a flat-oval shape about ½  inch thick and right in the  center of the oval shape add one tablespoon of the refried beans,  bring the edges of the oval together to keep the beans right in place, then roll this into a long cigar-kind  of shape.


Now with a tortilla presser  press down the cigar to flatten it to a  ⅛ - ¼  inch thickness.


And just keep on repeating these steps until you have make all the Huaraches.


Cook the Huaraches.  Preheat a griddle and cook the Huaraches for about 2 minute,  (one minute on each side, just to give them some texture.


Then preheat plenty of oil, and fry the huaraches for another minute on each side, just so they will get nice and golden brown and  by frying them we will also add some crunch, so just fry them until golden brown and crisp. Drain them on paper towels.

To Serve them: Top the Huarache with refried beans, add your favorite Guiso and top it with shredded lettuce, onion, tomatoes,  queso fresco, crema mexicana, and your favorite Salsa, decorate with pickled pork skin and that’s it! 



Enjoy!
