Our friends joined us for a gathering recently at our home for food and wine.  Carrie and James brought an Olive Oil cake that was simply delicious to share for dessert bloons td 5 kostenlosen pc.  After she shared her recipe that she had found on line, I tweaked it slightly using ingredients that I had on hand.  I’ve since learned that there is actually an Italian equivalent of pound cake, which is called “quattro quarti” (four quarters, or like the French, quatre quarts) that is an easy to remember recipe of perfect proportions, as each of the four ingredients make up a quarter of the whole lego star wars spiele kostenlos downloaden.  About a cup or (250 grams) each of flour, sugar, butter and eggs.  I understand that you can change up this recipe as any citrus fruit should work perfectly with olive oil, but make sure you use a good quality olive oil herunterladen!  This recipe makes a 9-inch round cake.  I doubled and did two loaf pans as well as a 9″ round.  Try it, you’ll love it!  Warm left over slices in a toaster oven to crisp up the edges instagram icon.  So delicious!!

Whisk the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and powder in one bowl and in a separate bowl beat the eggs until they are light and fluffy before slowly adding the sugar youtube link.  Whisk in the the olive oil, milk, orange zest and juice as well as the liquor.  Add the dry ingredients; whisk until just combined.  (Avoid an electric mixer and be careful not to over mix which will deflate the eggs and create a dense cake.)
