My grandmother's pound cake has been passed down for a few generations now, and I was feeling nostalgic earlier this week, so I whipped one up. I've posted the recipe (which I feel is fairly common) with my twist on it here: http://justafarmersdaughter.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/mamas-pound-cake/ if anyone wants to give it a whirl. Folks decided at school today that it was tops. It's always nice to cook for those who appreciate it!
After a sorry attempt at ricotta cookies I may try this. Decided during all the flinging of flour, that I may just have to break down and buy a kitchenaid mixer. The cheap-o ones at regular stores are just too light weight and the bolw is too shallow.
I love, love, love pound cake....and ALMOND! oh wow!
If you're looking for an easy out for baking this is the one...The hardest part (like you said) was the mixing, until I got the mixer. It's about the only kitchen appliance that's worth the steep price tag it comes with.
Pound Cake?
