It's a Pound Cake
I've never really done much baking other than cookies, but it's something I would like to do well. Justin's grandmother gave me a few of her cook books when we visited her in May and this is where I found the recipe for my first pound cake. Here is the book:
It was a pretty simple recipe and tasted great! I started making it one night and began mixing the butter and cream cheese before I realized it took 1 hour and 45 minutes to bake. So, I put the mixture into a bowl in the fridge for a few days, but it still worked well. Here's how it looked:
I was very excited to get it out of the pan! It's very important to grease and flour your pan well when baking something like this. I used olive oil and I don't think I used quite enough. So, I looked up how to get a cake out of a bunt pan. Most of the information I found talked about what you needed to do BEFORE baking... and well, it was just too late for that. All I could find to do after baking was beat the pan with the handle of a knife. So, that's what I did. Justin laughed at me. I also tried to pry it from the sides of the pan with the knife. Finally, I flipped it over and shook it. Justin thought I was being funny, so he started videoing me. I thought he was about to take a picture, I didn't realize he was videoing until he was turning it off. I realize I'm probably asking to be made fun of, but here it is anyway:
E: 8
A: 7 (it called for 6 eggs, that's a lot of eggs!)
T: 2
HH: 9 (He ate a piece every day for a week!)
