Breaking Eggs Original Art © Sandra Russell |
What to do with all those leftover eggs that did not get boiled and colored for Easter? Or is your situation one of 'wow, great sale on eggs' I'll get another dozen? If either of these situations describes you; or if you just like to bake a really good and simple cake (makes a great foundation for a strawberry shortcake). Here is a pound cake recipe that I rely on.
4 eggs
2sticks unsalted butter
1/8t.salt
13/4Cup of flour
1/3 C. half and half'
1/4 t. mace
1/2t. vanilla
300 degree oven 9x5 loaf pan for 45 min to an hour
Cream the butter and sugar add
the egg yolks and whip the whites separately to fold in later, or do as I do,
and just put the whole egg in there and beat it up…add dry ingredients
alternating with the half and half. pour into the pans, bake about an hour. This
cake is dense and flavorful. I sometimes add orange or lemon zest as a
substitute for the vanilla, I prefer a citrus back story. Good luck and happy
eating.
