Cooking with children is one of the most fun activities, both for them and for us when summer comes. I always take the opportunity and the other day, taking advantage of a visit from my nieces, I was making chocolate cakes with the little ones in the house.
The funniest thing about these tasks that we do together is that in addition to encouraging their involvement in housework, picking up, helping, collaborating etc, is that They help us spend a few hours together doing fun things, who enjoy organizing the ingredients both before, and during making the biscuits and of course, later when it is time to eat them.
Ingredients for four small biscuits (approximately 8 servings)
- A packet of prepared chocolate cake, 3 eggs, a cup of water and 1/3 cup of sunflower oil
How to make chocolate biscuits with the little ones in the house
It is best to involve children in the whole process, letting them help us in all the tasks in which they can lend a hand, such as weighing the ingredients, throwing them in the bowl or assist us by providing the different utensils. By the way we will show you its name, operation and usefulness.
We start with the rods that we will use to mix the ingredients until we get a homogeneous mass. First we start with the eggs, then add the water, then the oil and finally the chocolate sponge cake you have bought at the supermarket. In a few minutes we will have a great "mejunje"Chocolate you will love to try, though laughter and rush make them get a little dirty, as in the first image of the post.
If you want to use a homemade recipe, you can use the chocolate sponge cake I told you a few weeks ago, but today the important thing is not to use one or another recipe but to share a good time with the little ones, give them to try the raw dough , explain how the dough goes up in the oven and the whole process until the biscuits are finished and you can enjoy them.
Once everything is well beaten, we fill the molds - with children I always like to make several individual biscuits than a large one - and bake at 160ºC until we can put a skewer and it comes out clean, which depending on each oven will take approximately 45 minutes.

The best of make chocolate cakes with the little ones in the house is that we will have assured that the next breakfasts and snacks will work very well and the creators of the recipe will eat it great. They will also have had a fun time since the process of mixing, baking and decorating.
