Jeremy requested that I make a pound cake for his birthday. Turned out we didn't have sugar or several other ingredients so he had to wait. We eventually tracked down sugar, lemon extract, and convinced the birds to lay some more eggs.
This pound cake (recipe from Saveur) was divine.
Lemony, sweet, rich, perfect texture. It was excellent till the very last slice.
It went very well with a mountain of raspberries straight from the yard and fresh-whipped cream. Mmmmmm....
This is the blog formerly known as “Northwest Meets Midwest,” where I shared about the absurdities and adventures of living in the Midwest (having moved here from the Northwest). But really, this blog has been more and more a story of how we’ve fallen into urban farming and homesteading. So read on and enjoy our adventures in canning, preserving, mushroom-growing, local/organic fanaticism, chicken raising, designing and constructing, sewing, and attempting a little self-sufficiency in our corner of Minneapolis.
