Ärende: pound cake
==================
-=> Quoting Michael Loo to All <=-

 ML> all-butter pound cake from the James Beard recipe,
 ML> dense and rich

The ingredients and amounts for pound cake are so easy to memorize
that one doesn't really need a recipe: 1 pound each flour, sugar,
butter and eggs. The only leaving in the old (pre-baking powder)
days was well whipped egg whites gently folded into the batter.

 Categories: Historical, Info
      Yield: 1 text file

           pearlash
           potash
           wood ashes

  Pearlash was a crude form of potash and was prepared by leeching
  wood ashes in water and evaporating the liquid. It imparts a
  bitter taste to baked goods. It reacts with vinegar or sour milk
  as a leavening agent.
  
  Out of Ontario Kitchens by Christina Bates, Pagurian Press Limited

  Cabbage is best boiled with middling or side of bacon, never fill
  the pot up with cold water after it has commenced boiling; a
  teaspoonful of pearlash improves boiled cabbage, when they are
  old. Always dish the cabbage first, and after you skin the bacon
  lay it on top. Corn bread is a necessary appendage to bacon and
  cabbage.

  To Preserve Peaches Whole: Take the cling-stone peaches before
  entirely ripe, wash them and put them in a jar; put a table
  spoonful of pearlash to some soft water, and pour it over them
  boiling hot; cover them, and let them stand all night, then put
  them into cold water, wash and wipe them well; and to every pound
  of peaches, have a pound of loaf-sugar. Make a syrup of the sugar,
  and put the peaches in it while hot; simmer them slowly till they
  are done, take the peaches out, and boil the syrup down till it is
  quite thick. Put the peaches in jars, pour the syrup over them,
  and when cold cover them with paper dipped in brandy.
