the 3-day weekend

Our achievements at work and as people who have succeeded in many ways are celebrated on the 1st day of May each year - Labour Day. Some countries celebrate it on a different day, but all the same, the hard work and achievements are honoured. Isn't it simply grand how we are honoured each year ? All the same, if you're an employer, employee, housewife, studen or kid, we all work to achieve different goals. Be it monetary gols or not, it's still work and more work. Even upon retirement, we "work" to make sure that we have the financial resources till we reach death's door. That's the reality. This year, Labour Day fell on a Friday and it was a 3-day weekend for us. I was absolutely lazy. Finally on Sunday, I decided that I would bake something easy for myself and my neighbours, so here's what I did...

SUPER EASY CHOCOLATE CUP CAKES !

This recipe is so simple and it only took 30 minutes including time needed for baking ! Here's what you need.

120 gm self-raising flour

120 gm butter

100 gm castor sugar

3 eggs

7 tsp cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

Chopped almonds

Just dump everything into a mix ! The consistency is rather thick. Makes about 6 regular size cup cakes. Spoon into cups and sprinkle some of the chopped almonds (or other nuts or just leave it) on top. Bake for 20 minutes at 170C.

Enjoy !
