Mehr als die Hälfte aller Menschen lebt heute in Städten ... Tendenz steigend .
Das bedeutet aber nicht das der private Lebensraum kühl und abweisend sein muss.... dieser Blog zeigt Wohn(t)räume die uns auch in der Stadt ein Cottage Feeling vermitteln ohne plüschig zu sein.
Dabei spielen Details eine wichtige Rolle... Stoffe, Kissen , Accessoires ja sogar der Kochstil werden zu Hauptdarstellern dieser Inszenierungen.
Viel Spaß beim anschauen und nachmachen ...

Pound Cake




Plainly Perfect Pound Cake (From Tish Boyle's The Cake Book)Receipe :
200g/2 cups           Plain flour
1/4 tsp                    Baking powder
1/4 tsp                    Salt
227g/2 sticks          Unsalted butter (softened)
250g/ 1 1/4cup       Castor sugar (I reduced this to 200g)
4                             Large eggs
1 tsp                       finely grated lemon zest
1 tsp                       grated orange zest
1 tsp                       vanilla extract
80ml                      Heavy cream

Method :
1. Preheat oven to 170C. 
2. Sift flour with baking powder and salt and set aside.
3. Cream butter in a mixer at medium high speed until creamy (about 2 mins). Add sugar gradually and continue beating for 4 mins until light and fluffy. 
4. Reduce the mixing speed of the mixer to low and add eggs one at a time mixing until well mixed.
5. Add the citrus zest and vanilla extract. 
6. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating it with cream (added in 2 additions).
7. Pour into 2 lined 3"x 7" pound cake mold and bake for 60-70 mins or until the cake turns brown and a testing skewer comes out clean. (Trish Boyle had baked this at 162C but I had to use a slightly higher oven temperature to ensure that the cake is cooked through without dense uncooked spots)
