Homespun Gathering

Saturday was gathering day for the Homespun group.  Is always fun to see all the beautiful finishes and share a delicious pot luck.

Jane has been a busy girl--this is another one of her finishes.  Love the incorporation of the ruler tape inside the envelope fold sewing pouch.

For our potluck share meal, I tried a new recipe called Magic Custard Cake--it was a hit with the stitch girls.  Thought I would share.

 

Magic Custard Cake

 

4 eggs (whites separated from yolks) room temp

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 cup sugar

1 stick butter, melted

3/4 cup all purpose flour

2 cups milk, lukewarm

powdered sugar for dusting cake

 

 

•  Preheat over to 350 F degrees
• Grease and line 8 inch x 8 inch baking dish with parchment
• Separate eggs and add the egg whites to a mixer and beat egg whites until they hold a stiff peak.  Place egg whites in a bowl and set aside
• Beat the egg yolks and sugar until light.  Add butter and vanilla.  Beat for two minutes.  Add the flour and mix until it is fully incorporated
• Slowly start adding the milk and beat until everything is well mixed together.  Add the egg whites a third at time and gently fold them in using a spatula, repeat until all the egg white are folded into the batter
• Pour batter into baking dish and bake for approximately 60 minutes or until the top is lightly golden
• Cool and dust heavily with powdered sugar
