I'm having trouble posting it with the body above because I'm using a different program. <br /><br />Irish whiskey pound cake<br /><br />2 cups (8 oz, 230g) dried berries and fruit: you can use a combination of your choice such as cherries, blueberries, cranberries, sultanas, currants, apricots (chopped), pineapple (chopped)<br />¼ cup (60 – 70 ml) Irish whiskey <br />2 sticks (8 oz, 225g) unsalted butter, at room temperature<br />1 cup (7 1/8 oz, 200g) sugar<br />4 large eggs, at room temperature<br />2 cups (scant 9 oz, 250g) all-purpose flour<br />½ teaspoon (3g) baking powder <br />½ teaspoon (3g) salt<br />grated rind of half of an orange or 1 small lemon <br />1/3 cup (2 oz, 55g) slivered almonds, lightly toasted<br /><br />Place dried fruit and Irish whiskey in a bowl. Let it sit for about an hour, but stir it occasionally, so that the fruit can absorb the whiskey. You can also bring the butter and eggs to room temperature at this time, if you have not already done so. <br />Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a loaf pan (I used a 10” x 4”) by coating it with a little bit of butter and then dusting it with flour. You can also use Baker’s Joy!<br />Beat butter and sugar together in a mixer with the paddle attachment until it is light and creamy. Add eggs, one by one, mixing well after each addition and scraping the sides of the mixing bowl every so often so that the mixture is well blended. <br />Combine flour, baking powder and salt. On low speed, add flour mixture to the creamed butter until it is almost combined. Now add the dried fruits and any whiskey left in the bowl, the orange or lemon rind and toasted almonds. Mix slowly just until combined. <br /><br />Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for about 50 – 60 minutes, checking after 40 minutes because you may have to cover the top of the cake with foil if you feel it is browning too quickly. Test with a cake tester or long skewer (the bread is tall) and place on a rack when it is done. Cool for about 15 minutes and then turn the cake out and cool completely. Pour icing over cake and slice.<br /><br />Bailey’s Irish Cream icing<br />2 cups (8½ oz, 240g) confectioner’s (icing) sugar<br />1 tablespoon (15 ml) milk<br />2 tablespoons (30 ml) Bailey’s Irish Cream or Irish whiskey<br /><br />With a whisk, combine the above ingredients until smooth. Add more milk or Bailey’s if necessary to make it pourable.. Pour over cooled cake and enjoy!Draganahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17177892833520392121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290313211665126528.post-83145645197217439742010-01-15T22:21:52.188-06:002010-01-15T22:21:52.188-06:00Happy New Year!
