Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Someone on another list mentioned this cake and it sounded so good I asked for the recipe. I made it today, and it was a real hit (one guest had 3 pieces, everyone else had 2). It’s not diet food, but it’s a wonderful treat to set out for company. Coffee Walnut Pound Cake 5 tbsp instant coffee ½ cup hot milk 1 1/3 cup butter 1 ½ cup sugar 4 eggs 2 2/3 cups flour 1 tbsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 1 cup chopped walnuts Preheat oven to 350F. Dissolve coffee in milk; let cool. In a large bowl, cream butter with sugar; add eggs, one at a time and beat well after each addition. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add alternately with milk-coffee mixture to creamed mixture. Fold in nuts. Bake in a greased and floured 12 cup bundt pan for 50 - 60 minutes (or until cake tests done). Cool in pan for 10 minutes; turn out onto plate or wire rack to complete cooling. Top with a crown of Vanilla Glaze. Vanilla Glaze 1 cup confectioner’s sugar (icing sugar) 1 tbsp softened butter 1 tsp vanilla milk (1 – 3 tbsp added a bit at a time to get desired consistency for dripping or spreading). -- Sherri " Life is pleasant.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 I haven't seen a pound cake that has coffee in it. This is up my alley. I'll try it. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Me too. This sounds wonderful. My only problem now is my server and how it reads these fonts. Sherri, can you type it out differently? Like on the hot milk i keep getting ½; would that be a 1/2 cup? i am guessing that ½ = 1/2, but in baking, which is more of a formula, measurements can't be as loosey-goosey. i'd hate to put in a 1/2 every time i see a ½ when it is really supposed to be a 1/4! *lol* Thanks! ~ pt ~ As the soil, however rich it may be, cannot be productive without cultivation, so the mind without culture can never produce good fruit. ~ Seneca (4 BC-65 AD) ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~> , GeminiDragon < thelilacflower> wrote: > I haven't seen a pound cake that has coffee in it.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Oh that's alright. For all i know it is only my computer that sees it weird. To me it looks like a Greek symbol for omega and no numbers. Thanks for letting me know i was guessing correctly. Most recipes i don't worry about, but with baking there is a big difference between 1/2 and 1/4 when it come to making the formula just right. ~ pt ~ Yesterday is a dream, tomorrow but a vision.Ê But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope.Ê Look well therefore to this day. ~ Sanskrit proverb ~~~*~~~*~~~~> , Sherri <sherria@o...> wrote: > I'm not sure what's showing up on your screen, but yes, that's one half. > 1/2 > I'll see if I can get it to stop converting the text to fractions.
