Hello!
Been a while and here I am again now :D On blog sections there are list of blogs with the same title and seems like you are having another writing challenge. Okay, I am in!
Life hacks... As I have read on Tara's blog about its definition, I have one that really helps me. You know what? I am not embarrassed to say that I am quite proud of myself for being smart because I found a way to deal with it lol. :D :D :D
Curious to know what it is? Let me tell you a bit about behind the story.
People around me knows how I love cakes and chocolate. Not sure if they know that I like to bake also. I always like to watch cooking show on tv since many years. To me it is a wonderful feeling to be able to bake something from flours and sugar and eggs to a wonderful and delicious cakes. Pssst, did you know that plus point of baking or cooking is you can win someone's heart with it? ;)
Since I love to bake, so I need to have baking equipments. I already have trays, mixer (which I am so glad to buy it with a nice price after googling for days), molds, spatula, etc. Unfortunately, there is one thing that I still don't have COL. (means crying out loud and yes, I just made it up :p :D ). That thing is... an oven. It's not that expensive, but I can't beg others to buy it for me :(
How can I bake brownies then if I don't have an oven? Or lava cake? Or bread? Or ice cream?? Wait, ice cream isn't baked. Well then for a while, I can only bake steamed cake. Now ladies and gents, I have found a way out for my problems.
I use this thing, a quite thick unused skillet to be my oven. Guess what, it works well. Quite well though it doesn't have the termometer. With it, I have baked a simple brownies, cheese muffins, chocolate chip muffins, and a pennylane brownies. I will try another recipes soon with my oven :D
Cheese muffins Pennylane brownies
Okay, I burned the brownies a bit and it should have that shiny layer on top :p but looooved the muffins! Nom nom! ^_^
Ciao!
Ps: I am willing to have an oven if any of you send it to me LOL.

Thanks for reading Anele, Smile, Ulti!
Anele, I'd love to have your oven IF you have fix it :D about the pic, I took the pic too close so it looks bigger than the real size. I googled about brazo de mercedes and it seems easy to make with only few ingredients. Interesting!
Ulti, didn't know you'd come in here after you said you won't come :D so did you meet him??? :D :D I haven't until now :DAnd why did you quoting that sentence? From all those long paragraphs I wrote, you only quoted that one? >:(
Exactly Ulti, you can use it and help yourself out! :D
Oh and YES, I burned it. :P
I didnt know this is how it worked with you :P Only chubby boys would fell into that trick ( it could be a life hack for someone out there )
Nice job, though the cake is burned :D
My oven is not functioning anymore and I wonder if you were willing to take it, hehehe!
How did the chocolate cake fit into your skillet? It looks bigger than your skillet.
This is a great idea, Syubi because I used to bake cakes, too. But with an oven of course. It never came into my mind that I could bake using a skillet.
I guess you have to cover the skillet completely so that the heat won't escape and will be distributed equally inside.
My favorite is "Brazo de Mercedes". It is made up of eggs and condensed milk only. Here, I posted a picture for you:
