I made this ganache to cover an 8 inch round cake. It was a little too much for the size but I can still use the leftover for icecream or toast or anything. It tasted very good! I used 70% dark chocolate from a good chocolate shop in town. If you chill up your cake in the fridge at least 3 or 4 hours before you pour the ganache on it then put your cake in the fridge again, the ganache firms up very nicely, not too hard but not runny at all :)

This is super moist and tasty! First off, I was wondering if I should use crushed pineapple with juice because someone suggested it should be drained(actually I used pineapple tidbits this time because I had it on hand. It turned out very good! You can actually see those bits and really taste pineapple). Then I checked my favourite carrot cake recipe (it's on Allrecipes, called "Sam's Famous Carrot Cake"). The recipe calls for "with juice" and also buttermilk as more liquid. So I decided to use the juice too for this loaf. I took many reviewers advice and baked @ 350F for 70 minutes. Wow! It was perfectly done! Usually if the batter has a lot of liquid, it takes me so long until the inside is done but the outside is burnt. But this time it was no problem at all! I also tried another suggestion and used half white sugar/half brown sugar. And I used half all-purpose flour/half whole wheat flour and added 1/4 cup ground flaxseed which I usually do for quick bread. Super!!

These muffins are very tasty! When I saw the ingredients, I thought it had way too much baking powder. But I followed the recipe because nobody seemed to be complaining about it when I looked through the reviews. Then I actually didn't taste of baking powder at all! It just made the muffins very fluffy (fluffier than muffins I usually make though). I used 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour instead of 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. I also added 1/4 cup ground flaxseed to make them a little bit healthier. It was good that I took some reviwers advice; dredge the blueberries separately first, then fold them at the end, after you mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients. My muffins turned to be beautiful (can you see my posted pics?) :)
