NAJLA'S GHEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease two 8-inch cake pans.
• Beat sugar and 3/4 cup plus 3 1/2 tablespoons ghee together in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Add flour; mix until incorporated.
• Whisk eggs and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl; add to the flour mixture and mix well. Add milk and baking powder; stir. Mix in lemon juice.
• Pour batter into the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

CHOCOLATE GUINNESS CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line with parchment paper. In a large saucepan, combine Guinness and butter. Place over medium-low heat until butter melts, then remove from heat. Add cocoa and superfine sugar, and whisk to blend.
• In a small bowl, combine sour cream, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Add to Guinness mixture. Add flour and baking soda, and whisk again until smooth. Pour into buttered pan, and bake until risen and firm, 45 minutes to one hour. Place pan on a wire rack and cool completely in pan.
• For the topping: Using a food processor or by hand, mix confectioners' sugar to break up lumps. Add cream cheese and blend until smooth. Add heavy cream, and mix until smooth and spreadable.
• Remove cake from pan and place on a platter or cake stand. Ice top of cake only, so that it resembles a frothy pint of Guinness.

NAJLA'S LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic (if using).
• Add the chicken and cook on each side for about a minute, then pour in the water mixture and cook, turning until there is no liquid left.
• Remove the chicken and set aside.
• Use the lemon juice to make some gravy (add more butter if you like), then pour the gravy on the chicken.
• My sister serves this with french fries.
