Homemade mashed potatoes - updated

I used to be a manic on mashed potatoes made from dried potato powder. I would literally eat this at least 5 times per week, for like 5 years of my life. Since that time, my cooking has apparently advanced (and became significantly healthier), so nowadays I make homemade mashed potatoes, that taste amazingly (according to other sources as well :D)! Here's my recipe: 

Time you'll need to make this: 40 minutes
Difficulty level: easy!

Ingredients (for 2 portions):

-2 big potatoes
- olive oil
- veggie broth cube
- salt
- black pepper
- turmeric
- oregano
- butter
- low fat milk (about 1 small cup - optional)
- low fat melting cheese or parmesan, ground
- a clove of garlic
- water

Quick sponge cake

This is a basic sponge cake recipe that you can easily find on the Internet, but I made a couple of changes and additions :) The result is a normally sweet (not too sweet, not too bland) and it can go well with breakfast or coffee break!

Time you'll need to make this: 60 minutes
Difficulty level: easy!

Ingredients (for 8 pieces):

- 6 eggs
- 1 cup of cake (self-rising) flour (my cup = 20 spoons)
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 3 spoons of drinking chocolate powder or cocoa powder
- 1 spoon of ground coconut
- icing of your preference (I used apricot jam with no added sugar - just natural fruit sugars)
- a bit of butter
