 cake

:) :) :) xxx

one that sounded familiar

a memory of times gone by

when I used to bake for the kids and the weekend

always

Thursday and Friday were bake day

no more

just once in a while when the mood hits

and this recipe hit!!!

it's a custard cake

it's not sweet and it's tasty

and it's likely to be gone by the time Monday rolls around

it's easy to make

if you like custard you will like this

I like custard

and I haven't had anything with custard on it 

or in it 

for ages

and ages .....

I think custard would solve the woes of the world

if we only let it

so make a custard cake

and a cup of something warm

sit back and enjoy

spoil yourself a little bit

I'm sure you all deserve it

have a piece and think about Spring being around the corner

and the clocks going forward this weekend here in the US

more light...well not really we just fool ourselves into thinking that

and enjoy

here is the recipe.....

• 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted Butter... melted
• 2 cups (480ml) Milk...warmed to lukewarm
• 4 Eggs, separated
• 1 1/4 cups (150g) icing sugar
• 1 Tablespoon (15ml) Water
• 1 cup (115g) Flour
• 1 teaspoon (5ml) Vanilla Extract
• extra icing sugar for dusting

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (C ??) . Lightly butter or grease a 8"x 8" baking dish
2. Melt the butter and set aside to cool. Warm the milk to lukewarm and set aside.
3. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Set aside.
4. Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light. Mix in the melted butter and the tablespoon of water for about 2 minutes or until very well mixed.
5. Mix in the flour well. Slowly beat in the milk and vanilla extract until everything is well mixed. (This batter is very thin, so mix carefully or you will be splattered!!!!)
6. Fold in the egg whites, 1/3 at a time. Repeat until all  the egg whites are folded in.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-60 minutes or until the top is golden. Allow cake to completely cool before cutting and then dust with icing sugar.

peace and yumminess to all
