Simple but Authentic Brandy Cake for Grownups
I like brandy cake, but it can be expensive in stores, so I tried making my own as a pound cake.
Now I can eat it as much as I like.
It's a cake for adults that has a lingering aroma of brandy.
It's great for share with a good friend for tea or as a gift!
Because it is easy for the eggs and brandy to separate from the butter when mixing, make sure to add the eggs and brandy little by little and to mix very thoroughly.
If separation occurs, warm the mixture lightly in hot water while continuing to mix.
If you rotate the cake mould 15 minutes before the baking time is finished, it will prevent the cake from becoming unevenly baked. For loaf pan: 18 x 8 x 6 cm [7 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 in]. Recipe by Mama buta

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prep work
- 2
Warm unsalted butter to room temperature, or warm it by immersing in lukewarm water until it becomes soft. Also bring the eggs to room temperature.
- 3
Beat the ★ eggs and whisk with the brandy. Sift all of the dry ingredients marked ☆ together.
- 4
Line the mold with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 170℃.
- 5
Make the batter:
- 6
Whip the butter until it expands and becomes a rich cream. If you cream the butter well, it will be hard for the butter and eggs to separate when you add the eggs.
- 7
Add sugar to the batter from Step 6 in 3 or 4 batches and mix until thick. Make sure to mix it very well!
- 8
Add the ★ brandy and egg mixture from Step 3 to the butter and sugar mixture in 5 or 6 small batches, mixing well to ensure it doesn't separate.
- 9
Take the dry ingredients from Step 3 (marked ☆) along with almond flour and add to the mixture from Step 8 in 3 or more increments. The almond flour makes the cake moist.
- 10
Pour the cake batter in Step 9 into the cake mould, and tap the bottom of the pan to make sure that the batter gets into all the corners. If you have batter left over, try adding your own flavours For example, dried fruits.
- 11
Bake the Step 10 cake for 45 to 50 minutes. If you see the cake browning and it's looking like it might start to burn, cover with aluminum foil.
- 12
15 minutes before the cake is finished baking, turn the pan in the oven to prevent unevenness. Check to see if the cake is done by inserting a skewer. If it comes out clean, it's done!
- 13
Finally, we're going to brush the cake with brandy, so make especially sure that the cake is totally done.
- 14
While the cake is still hot from the oven, brush half of the brandy on the cake. After the cake has cooled, brush the rest.
- 15
Wrap the cake in plastic wrap, and place it in a plastic bag. Let the cake rest in the fridge for 7 days. In my case, I let it rest for 12 or 13 days.
- 16
Top the cake to your liking with any remaining brandy. While the cake was resting in the fridge, the brandy and butter mingled to infuse the cake with moisture.
- 17
If you wrap it, the cake can be a gift or present!
- 18
I cut up broiled sweet chestnuts from a pastry shop and scattered on top The sweetness of the chestnuts comes out with each bite and it was very delicious!

Chocolate Cake Chocolate Cake
I made this cake imagining a cake which was made in a cartoon on Valentine. If you know what I am talking about, please give it a try.The amount of sugar for the pound cake is for the cake to be slightly sweetened. Adjust the amount to your liking If you make a cut in the dough before baking the cake, the cake would be baked nicely. Please make the time to chill after putting the creamy chocolate in between the cake to be at least 3 hours. Unless it will fall apart when you take it out. Recipe by Sarichirusan -

Moist, Authentic, Quality Homemade Castella Cake Moist, Authentic, Quality Homemade Castella Cake
My husband requested this, plus I wanted to use up a lot of eggs that were nearing their best-by date . Challenge yourself to make homemade castella!As I wrote in the directions, if you don't let the castella steam in plastic wrap, you will have a light, old-fashioned sweet shop type castella. If you wrap it up tightly and let it sit it for more than a day (I let it sit for 2 days) you'll have a moist, densely textured 'traditional confectionery shop-style' castella. For 1 16x16cm [6.3x6.3 in] square cake. Recipe by AyakoOOOOO -

Orange Cake Orange Cake
I wanted to make a refreshing cake with citrus fruits. This is like a variation of the Orange Yogurt Pound Cake recipe (ID:566906), but I decorated it so it could also be used as a eyecatching gift.Since the whole orange including the peel is used, it's best to use chemical-free oranges. Leaving the orange syrup overnight will elminate any bitterness from the orange peel. If you use a cake tin with a removable bottom and line the bottom wiith baking paper it will be really easy to take the cake out. This recipe uses the icing as a glaze. Recipe by nin -
