Pherrero Williams

I had been wanting to bake these for absolutely ages but just hadn't got round to it however I had to provide something for Amy this week as we were taking a little road trip for works and I couldn't let my partner in promotional crime get something from a service station, not on my watch. With regards to recipes I usually mix a combination of the OG sexy mama Nigellas vibes with various recipes I have found online so I come up with something pretty original or I just mix what I have in the cupboards and hope for the best! However with these I stuck to one recipe precisely as I wasn't sure how the middle would present itself if I was to mix things up.

Gotta shout out the Size? homies for the name, we were discussing the recipe pondering a hip hop name saying ''Ferrero Ferrero Ferrero'' over and over again when we collectively all went ''Pharrell, Ferrero!?'', obviously super haps I had a pun for the bake off I skipped home listening to that dreamboat of a man singing Angel to me obviously pretending I was in the music video whilst he serenaded me along the m27. Plus Pharell has a bad boy banger called ''Keep it Playa'', he definitely needed a shout out in hip hop baking world yo!

Pherrero Williams


Think it would pretty lame to just write out some other baking playas recipes so instead I will just put the link here Fererro Rocher Cupcakes ! 

The reviews have been top notch for these, Amy had one on our journey..there was a 5 second silence as she took a bite and then she exclaimed (thats not even an exaggeration) ''TREAT'' followed by ''That was cracking''. Bryony and Bega also gave me strong reviews claiming there was nothing Frontin about them cakes, real deal delish right there. Gotta warn you though, it is not christmas therefore I was subjected to paying £7.49 for a box of Ferrero Rochers, this was not ideal in the slightest but to be honest I don't think you can scrimp on cake ingredients. 


So the big shout is what Pharrell track to post, I mean I don't know anyone who doesn't love that guy... I probably love him a little too much, when I saw the advert for the Magna Carter album which features both him and Jayz I cried with happiness..honestly I didn't know what to do I was so excited. I'm gonna post the track that stands out to me and probably every female playa out there, who didn't wanna be the girl at the door saying ''Is Pharell here?'' so get the tunes on and let the bake off commence...

Pusha Cream T Cakes


You will need:
6oz Butter
6oz Caster Sugar
3 eggs
6oz Self raising flour
Vanilla Extract
Raisins
Almonds

For the topping:
Clotted Cream
Raspberries
Almonds
Raspberry Dark chocolate



This recipe is perfect for the remix of ''Trouble on my mind'', No Pusha I got ''Baking on my mind'', as you can imagine there are various lines I changed in the track whilst whisking away but I think its fair to say Pushas verses were a lot better than mine. So you will need to beat the butter and sugar together to a nice creamy texture, adding the eggs one at a time. Now simply sift the flour into the mix making sure you fold the mixture. You can see I just used a simple sponge mixture and then added a few extras for the afternoon tea vibes. a couple of handfuls of raisins and then also a few cheeky almonds remixed up with a couple spoonfuls of vanilla extract and you can spoon these into the cases. Go hard in the filling of these cupcakes as you will need to slice off the top later yo! Bake on 170C until golden brown.

Once cooled you can then slice the tops off to create a nice flat base to work that Clotted cream onto, now the decoration is pretty much dependable upon your personal taste, I went for Clotted cream, raspberries, almonds and a grating of raspberry dark chocolate...yeah I don't mess around!

I kinda wanted to post the track ''Kitchen'' from ''Still ya Pusha'' that I was listening to yesterday but then thought  I better go for a club banger plus I did love this video when it came out...mainly cos I was mad crushing on Tyler at the time, over that now thank god!

Foxy Brownies




You will need:

9oz Peanut butter
3.5oz Dark Chocolate
3.5 oz MilkyBar
9oz Sugar
3 Eggs
3.5oz Self raising flour
Cinnamon

As you can see from the ingredient list there is nothing low fat about these big bad mamas...you will need to set aside some peanut butter and chocolate for the drizzled topping, totally optional if you go white or dark chocolate, I'm personally about the milky kinda chocolate on all levels y know?!
Melt the majority of the peanut butter, sugar and combo of chocolate into a pan until the sugar is melted. Best to use brown sugar in the mix for this one. Once all melted beat the eggs in one by one and sift in the flour and pinch on cinnamon. 
Whack in a baking tray and melt the left over peanut butter to drizzle over the top. Bake em for 30 minutes on 180c and leave to cool before you melt the chocolate over them for ultimate playa status. 

Now gotta say I would've loved to try one of these however I'm on a super running and clean eating vibe before my best friends wedding, one of these and I would have to run another 10k and my little flyknits are already undergoing serious kilometres this week. Jay said it I gotta keep that ass tighter than Versace yo! However Amy gave me a strong 10 and claimed they were nothing less than exquisite. 

The ultimate tune to play whilst baking  isn't a solo foxy flex but the banger with my number one... The outfits are too much!
