I have a coworker Carol, she always bakes some vkusnosti, brownies, muffins, and brings to work. Last Friday along with her, came orange poundcake (or pound cake-cupcake), I tried a quarter piece and gone! This glazirovanny crunchy sugar crust, this tender moist center, this delightful orange scent, and this despite the fact that in Cuijk was not filling! I'm not down with Carol until she brought me the recipe from their cookbook, too unusual, by the way: it's an old family recipe book, which was about her grandmother and mother, was printed on a typewriter and intertwined. A photocopy of this recipe in English, I also spread interesting to look at American cookbook 30-40 years of the 20th century) Maria, my other colleague, was born on March 6. I decided to try the recipe and at the same time to pamper your girlfriend cakes for a Birthday party, to which Maria big hunter! Welcome to recipe, a Cup of tea!

All the ingredients naglyadnogo
Sift the flour. You want to measure out 1.5 cups of flour already sifted form. Because I can't stand to lose even the tiniest bit of food (thank you grandma held the hunger of war, for science), then I came out: I measured out 1.5 cups of water in a bowl, noticed the level is about, have a bowl of dried and sifted flour in a bowl to that level. To the eye came out great.
Add salt, baking powder and flour pereprodaet. The step can be omitted if you add salt and baking powder at the first screening. If you use baking powder, of course. I only use soda, because the baking powder composition is almost the same, except for the agent against caking. We do not need in our beautiful organisms. Soda, slaked with vinegar I will add later to the liquid ingredients.
Beat the butter to a cream, add the sugar and continue whisking until fluffy. I still have the best way, held my frozen butter in the microwave (just 30 seconds!) and it melted.
Add one egg and beat well, add the second egg and again beat.
Here you can add soda with vinegar, and stir.
Begin to add alternately flour and milk to egg-butter-sugar agriculture. The recipe calls to start with flour and finish! You can enable the oven to be heated to 350 Fahrenheit or 175 Celsius.
Pour the milk, stir the milk from the fridge, I only have three gravy-podsypat happened (alternate). As I remembered the soda only after the first round adding the flour and milk, then I added the baking soda and vinegar at this stage. The dough is still quite liquid, and the soda went well. The taste is not affected :)
With this step I started because it is important to add juice and zest quickly to gluten from flour is not sold in the test. So, grate the zest from one orange and squeeze the juice. Hey, I got started a Meyer lemon, so I also overcame, but the zest with him did not take, so as not to break the orange scent. Everyone knows that when you RUB the zest, it is important to wash the orange part, because the white is bitter.
The Meyer lemon is very juicy and flavorful and gives around 2-3 tablespoons of juice, so I mixed them with orange and measured out one tablespoon for later for the glaze. Oh, I love it when the refrigerator scraps and nedelkov no!
Add the zest and juice to the dough. You will see how the juice will repay soda additionally, the dough will zabinitsa. Easy stir zest into the dough
Pour the batter into a greased form. Because I didn't want to risk baking a thick cake (Birthday after all!), I used 1/3 of the dough for small cupcakes.
Vylizyvaya for bowls silicone spatula! A drop by! Everything I teach my grandma.
Bake at 176 C or 350 F for 1 hour, or 48 minutes, as I didn't thick was the pie.
Cupcakes or less 25-30 minutes and you're done!
As promised - the recipe in English for connoisseurs. Please note, this recipe is the lemon poundcake, but Carol's hand was orange and a lot of free time. And lemons, well, them! Make better tea with lemon, Russian! And the orange goes a lot better because more juice and cake turns out deliciously moist.
The delicate moist sponge cake with orange flavor! Mmm... I could not resist and ate 8 small yet warm... And this despite the fact that it would be necessary to sit on a diet! All Maria's fault! Born at a worse time.
Oh yeah! the glaze! Mix juice and sugar and boil on a slow fire until thick. Spread hot just out of the oven cake and give podnostyu to cool down before slice. Since I didn't uvaria enough (or sugar sorry?) My glaze does not dry to crunchy sugar crust to Carol and left a sticky layer on top. Well, Carol's old enough to be my um... older sisters, so I still have a little time to bring the frosting to perfection :D
Happy Birthday Mariacka!
And finally, a Meyer lemon, to life honey did not seem, dear Povarenkin!
