秋之收成~南瓜磅蛋糕

pumpkin pound cake (6)，原由 Alicia Cute 上載。

夏天也有南瓜,不過,這南瓜是房東種的,入秋之後給我的
放了一陣子,一直想著是要做鹹的好,還是烤蛋糕好
星期六晚上,沒出門,開始切南瓜,蒸熟了,攪成泥,做蛋糕好了

找了個南瓜磅蛋糕的食譜,開始做時,還挺猶豫的
因為,糖,油,麵粉的比例,實在不像磅蛋糕
不過,因為rating蠻好的,所以硬著頭繼續做,
結果還挺不錯的

以下是我修改過的配方:
奶油 1/2杯
紅糖 2/3杯
白糖 1/2杯
南瓜泥 1杯
雞蛋 兩顆
香草精 1tsp
麵粉 1 1/2杯
肉桂粉 1/2tsp
橘子皮 1tbs
泡打粉 1tsp
小蘇打粉 1/2tsp

做法:
烤箱預熱華氏350度,將9x5的長型模抹上奶油,墊上烘培紙

1.將砂糖跟奶油打到鬆化
2.加入雞蛋,一次一顆,先攪勻再放第二顆
3.加入南瓜泥攪拌
4.橘子皮,香草精也放入
5.混入所有乾性材料,拌勻後,倒入烤盤,進烤箱
大約45分鐘,或是牙籤插入,沒有沾黏



出爐後,約略放涼,可以刷上一點糖漿
我用一些confectioners sugar,加入一湯匙奶油,一些橘子汁,拌勻後,
倒在表面上,加上一點葵花子,切片吃可以加點鮮奶油,或是冰淇淋

我不喜歡香料味太重,所以,把肉桂粉減少了,不會太甜,微微的南瓜香
還有淡淡的橘子香,蛋糕體蠻濕潤,但是不像一般磅蛋糕一樣油膩,挺不錯的

Amazingly, I didn't go out on weekend night!!!

I always feel like to do something, go out, meet with friends, party on weekend night.
Especially, I don't have a lot of free time now. I'd love to have fun every moment when I have the chance.
However, not this weekend.

As weekend coming up, I was debating to go out or not
My eyes were swollen and itchy for couple days because of allergy to something I don't know.
The doctor suggested me not to wear contact and makeup for some days.
I was thinking... how can I go out without making myself gorgeous?

When I called my friend R, see if she wanna go out on saturday night, the answer was a relief for me.
She felt lazy!



So, instead of having another wild night as last week,
I didn't call others for other parties. I decided to listen to my eyes, staying home!
(actually, last week was a disaster that I don't want to remember at all! sorry for all related people. That WASN'T me! That WASN'T me!!!)

I decided to bake a cake.

Preheat the oven, beat in sugar and butter. Stir in the eggs. Shift in the flour.
The whole house was loaded with the sweetness of the cake
Warm and delicious!!

I know I have missed some fun. I do like to go clubbing, drinking, having fun with friends.
But, I think I can always have some more when I feel like to.
Since my eyes are giving attitude to me, I'd better listen them!!

Anyway, my weekend at home turned out sweet, delicious and relaxing!
