Title: Tufeen Hushani (Vulcan Wedding Cake)
Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Booze, Citrus
Yield: 8 Servings
6 oz Ground almonds
1/2 c Flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/8 ts Cloves
1/8 ts Nutmeg
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
6 oz Grated carrots
1 tb Vulcan bitter nectar *
1 tb Grated lemon rind
1 tb Lemon juice
5 tb Butter
6 oz Sugar; a bit more than 3/4 c
5 Eggs
* Dark Jamaican rum may be used.
To be made as a wedding cake, many rituals would have
to be performed during the making of the cake.
This is a nonritual version.
Sift the ground almonds and flour together to make a
very fine mixture. Add the salt, spices and baking
powder and mix well.
In a separate bowl put the grated carrots and the
nectar. Add the lemon rind and juice. Cover and let
stand.
Cream the butter and sugar together.
Separate the eggs, putting the yolks in with the butter
and sugar and saving the whites for later. Beat the egg
yolks in and then add the carrot mixture. Stir well and
let sit for a few minutes.
Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then set
aside. Add the dry ingredients to the carrot mixture
and mix well. You should have a thick batter. Now beat
the egg whites a little more and fold the batter into
the egg whites. Mix gently until it is just barely
evenly mixed. Pour into a greased ring (Bundt cake)
mold.
Bake at 325ºF/165ºC for about 50 minutes.
It is done when a skewer comes out clean. Take out of
the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Unmold onto a serving plate dusted with confectioner's
sugar (this prevents the cake from sticking as much).
