Caterina thinks we are not eating enough butter

she sees a recipe for an Indonesian spice cake that has 3 and 1/2 sticks of butter plus 3 more tablespoons of butter which is essentially nearly a half another stick

there goes your pound of butter

here's the curiosity : the batter is built of butter and flower and sugar and 7 eggs / 4 large and 3 large yolks

this is an eggy projcect but see here we have a lot of extra eggs this week and two of them are mighty duck eggs

and then the cake is baked in layers but not in different pans / first you pour a layer in a pan and bake for 20 minutes and when that is done slather on a TB of butter / pour in the next layer of batter and so on

cool a little before turning the pan over to let it out onto a plate then turn it over again after cooling so more so that the first layer you poured is on the bottom at serving time / cant wait to see what the texture of the different layers is like

oh first you must butter of course the pan and sprinkle a little flour on it so the cake wont stick

sooooo

we are curious to see the tekneek of making this cake / how it works out

stay tuned
