Pound Cake for Afternoon Tea

Yeah, another Saturday and i feel so tired this week because of my internship period on Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Got a lots of jobs and traffic jam made me absolutely need to pamper my self with a delicious cake :D haha.. Well actually i can find lotsa bakery shop near my office but there's a differences when i make a cake by my self, its like a pleasure :D So, i grabbed the cakes cook book and find a good and simple recipe. Here my choice goes to Pound cake. Its easy and delicious because it only need butter and egg and the comparison of the ingredients is 1:1 so its easy for me to remember :D It also made without baking powder, let the egg white do it for this cake.. yea~ 

WHAT YOU NEEDS ARE:

- 125gr butter

- 125gr sugar

- 125gr flour (don't forget to sifted it, because i forgot :P haha)

- 2 eggs (separate the yolks from the whites, and whites stiffly beaten) 

HOW TO MAKE?

- Cream the butter, add the sugar and cream well together.
- Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the flour. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
- Pour the mixture into a prepared loaf tin.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees celcius for about 45 minutes (or until the cake shrinks slightly from the side of the pan.
- The top of the cake will crack due to internal steam pressure. Based from the book you have to allow the cake to cool completely in the tin and keep it for 24 hours before slicing it. But, i didn't. 24 hours is just too long for me, i couldn't wait to eat it haha, so i just ate it when its ready :D yoom meeh!

I served it with twinings traditional afternoon tea. Its taste so creamy and its perfect to serve in the afternoon while u waiting the sunset haha :P Well, a good one to be try! simple and yoom meeh :D keep on cooking! Happy weekend!
