Welcome to the Captain's Galley
Here we will have lots of fun in the cooking and
then the eating and that I enjoy the best.
BUTTER POUND CAKE
2 eggs, separated
6 tbsp. butter, softened
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. baking powder
4 tbsp. whipping cream
3/4 c. Fruit Sweet
1 3/4 c. sifted cake flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Beat the egg yolks well.
Add cream, butter, Fruit Sweet and vanilla and beat to blend well.
Set aside.
Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda together and set aside in
a small bowl.
In a medium size bowl, slowly blend the flour mixture and the liquid
mixture in small amounts at a time until well mixed.
Beat until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry.
Stir a third of the whites into the batter and then gently fold in the
remainder.
Spoon into a greased and floured 9" pan.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until an
inserted straw or toothpick comes out dry.
Cool for about 5 minutes before turning out onto rack.
