About the cooking blog...

We enjoy a good meal. 99 out of 100 times, this good meal takes place in our kitchen. We don't eat out very often, and when we do, we're rarely "wow-ed" by the food we get. The following are recipes that have passed through our kitchen. They're not always winners, but we'll tell you if they're not, and what should be changed to make them better. Enjoy!

A Pictorial Guide to Pound Cake

So a while ago, we put some pictures up of a lovely pound cake… the recipe is back on that post… but we’re going to do a quick pictorial walkthrough… Preheat the oven to 350.

Step 1, Cream two stick of butter and 1/2 cup of Crisco together.

After everything is all creamed together, grab your 3 Cups of sugar and add slowly to the butter/Crisco.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next comes the rest of the dry ingredients, a half tsp of each baking soda, and salt, and 3 cups of flour.

You grab the dry ingredients and a cup of milk and add them slowly to the mix that’s going… alternating between the dry ingredients and the milk, starting with dry and ending with dry.

After everything is all mixed up, grab your greased and floured pan… I used to use a tube pan… but we got a lovely Bundt pan as a wedding gift…

Pour your mixed cake into your pan and drop it into the preheated oven for an hour… Likely, it’ll take a bit longer… you wait until you can pull a toothpick out of the center clean… after you’ve made a few, you’ll just know when it’s done…

Now we play the waiting game…
