Subj : Thomas Tusser Seed Cake To : All From : Ben Collver Date : Thu Mar 14 2024 10:33:52 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Thomas Tusser's Seed Cake Categories: Cakes Yield: 1 Cake 1 c Flour 7 ts Caraway seeds 1/2 ts Salt 1/4 ts Mace 1/2 c Butter; room temperature 1 ts Rosewater 1/2 c Sugar 3 Eggs; 1 whole; 2 whites 1 tb Sherry Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9" springform pan and line with parchment. Stir together flour, caraway seeds, salt, and mace. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter, rosewater, and sugar, either by hand or with a mixer. Stir in the whole egg and sherry, then add the flour and spice mixture. Set aside. Using a mixer, whisk the egg whites until they hold their form. Fold the whites into the cake batter very gently, maintaining the fluffiness of the whites even if it means the batter looks clumpy. Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Place it on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven. Bake for 40 minutes until golden and set in the middle. A cake tester will come out clean when it is completely cooked. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the springform pan. Notes: Serve warm or room temperature with tea, coffee, fresh fruit, or preserves. This recipe is easy to double. You can also prepare smaller cakes by baking in a greased muffin pan and adjusting your baking time to 15 minutes. Recipe by Marissa Nicosia Recipe FROM: MMMMM .
