The Flour Diaries

Happy birthday Penny! I don’t have enough reel space to add all of our trips over the years. This is just the highlights.

Birthdays don’t mean quite what they used to but we still must mark the day. We have made it another 365 days.

In my house, a basic pound cake is made with 3 sticks butter, 3 cups sugar, 5-6 eggs, 3 cups flour, 1 heaping tsp baking powder, pinch salt , flavoring and a cup of milk.

Of course I add and substitute ingredients all the time according to my expected outcome.

For this cake I just used sour cream rather than milk. Also, heaping tablespoon almond emulsion used. I have added the almond emulsion I used to the end of the video.

Before I added batter to the cake pan, I sprinkled heavily with sliced almonds.

And I must say it turned out as expected!
I never have to worry about being left with cake. I have lots of drop- ins that gladly take home.
