Day 39 - Time from Jerusalem

2/8/2010

This is an example of the lovely Armenian style pottery that can be found in the shops of Jerusalem where my daughter's family has lived. Armenians have been in Jerusalem since the 1920's. Artisans in Hebron make reproductions of their lovely designs for the tourists. I love the center motif with all the buildings.

Day 38 -Marbled Chiffon Cake

2/7/2010

One day late - the traditional Marble Chiffon Cake for David's birthday.

I got the recipe from his mom all those years ago and each time I make this cake,

I make two of them so that someone besides David can have some.

David doesn't want frosting on his cakes so I just use a little powdered sugar on top. This cake takes 7 eggs!

MARBLED CHIFFON CAKE

Preheat oven to 325^o

Mix and cool:

1/4 c cocoa

1/4 c sugar

1/4 c boiling water

Sift togeter in bowl;

2 1/4 c sifted cake flour

1 1/2 c sugar 3 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt

Add to above and mix thoroughly

1/2 c mazola oil

5 egg yolks (I actually use all of the egg yolks from the egg for the 1 c. of whites)

1 tsp vanilla 3/4 c water

Beat very stiff:

1 c egg whites (7 or 8)

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

Pour egg yolk mixture in thin stream over entire surface of egg whites, gently cutting and folding in with rubber spatula until completely blended. Divide batter into two parts. Pour cocoa mixture into one half and fold into batter. Drop by spoonfuls into ungreased 10 inch tube pan, alternating cocoa and white batter. When all the batter is in the pan run a knife around the middle to marbelize.

Bake in 325^o oven, 55 min. then at 350^o, 10 to 15 min., until cake tests done. Invert on funnel. Let hang until cold.

so I combined these three views using PhotoShop.
