A couple of ladies went through the series of books containing Master and Commander and put together a recipe for *every* mention of food in the series. Well, every recipe that was *legal*, anyway. Some are downright creepy and freaky, so of course my husband loves the book. :) It's got quite a variety of puddings, including tradtional ones like steak-and-kidney pudding, and some bizarre-yet-strangely-tasty ones like Drowned Baby.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786798295848786495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-83977667618245321202010-09-07T10:54:23.470-07:002010-09-07T10:54:23.470-07:00I love your postings and your wonderful photos- bu...I love your postings and your wonderful photos- but with google reader I don't get to see any of them!

It is one the most favourite cakek and it is usually prepared by grandmothers. I believe it is a central-European speciality. We call it "bábovka". <br /><br />An easy and fast recipe for you:<br />4 eggs <br />250 g confectioner's sugar<br />150 g plain flour<br />100 g shredded coconut<br />215 g heavy cream<br />13 g baking powder<br />pint of salt<br /><br />oil and flour for the form<br /><br />Separate the yalks and whites. Whip the whites with a pint of salt and a teaspoon of suger. Combine the rest of the sugar, than add the heavy cream and flour mixed with the baking powder. Softly fold in the whipped egg whites. <br /><br />Bake in the form oiled and sprinkled inside with flour in a medium preheated oven. Do not use the lid of the form. Bake at 180°C about almost an hour, check if it is ready with a wooden stick. Let it cool down well and then knock out of the form. It is also nice with lemon icing. <br /><br />It is also nice using poppy seeds or nuts instead of the coconut but in that case you might like to cut down on those a little bit and use more flour. You can also color about a third of the dought with cocoa powder, first pour the yellow dough into the form and then make a circle with the cocoa dough, it is heavier so it would stay somewhere in the middle and you will have a two-coloured cake slices.Sibyliatkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09132243646926771787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-12033656380618337582010-08-13T23:32:58.662-07:002010-08-13T23:32:58.662-07:00I'm sorry, it's so unkind of me to laugh, ...I'm sorry, it's so unkind of me to laugh, but... you got me with (Actual flailing).

We use them for Thanksgiving steamed apple meal pudding, which is a corn-meal based side dish with molasses and apple slices. My grandmother and mother also made steamed chocolate pudding in them, and now I guess I'm going to have to. They are not big around like bundt pans, but roughly cylindrical, about 12 inches deep, tapered, 8 inches across at the top and 6 inches at the bottom, with the tube in the middle and a hinged lid that latches.<br /><br />My grandmother had an electric oven that had a deep well in it for this purpose, down below the level of the burners. I've never seen this option in a modern stove (hers was 50s vintage) but I'd kill for it. It was also great for stews, sort of a pre-crockpot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-74988205147487961302010-08-12T01:27:07.963-07:002010-08-12T01:27:07.963-07:00They don't come that shape over here!

At one hour, the center was not cooked, due to using a full pan rather than one with the hole in the center, I am sure. I put the cake back in the water bath for another hour and it was cooked perfectly. Now I know to cook it 2 hours from the start when not using the proper pan.
