Madeira CakeYou would think by the title that the Madeira cake would have wine in it but it does not. It is a cake that is meant to be eaten with a glass of Madeira wine. I found a recipe that actually has the Madeira wine in it plus a whole lot of other interesting and delicious ingredients. A Piece Of cake by Susan G. Purdy has this recipe and I can't wait to try it out. Makes one 9 inch tube pan or tow 9 inch layer pans. Bake for 55-60 minutes at 350 for tube pan; 30 -35 minutes for layer pans. Ingredients
Method1.Sift together the flour, baking soda, adn salt. Combine nuts and currants in a bowl, and toss with 1/4 cup flour mixture. Set aside. 2. In the large bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter, margarine, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. The batter will look curdled, don't worry. 3. With the mixer on lowest speed, alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with flour. Beat to blend after each addition. Scrape down side of bowl often.Beat in Madeira wine and orange extract. Stir in grated orange zest and nut currant mixture. 4.Spoon batter into prepared pans and smooth the top. Place in the oven to bake as directed,or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, and the top is golden and lightly springs back to the touch. Cool on racks for 10 minutes before removing them form the pans. Sift From Madeira Cake To Wedding Cakes For You Home
