Thanks, Hans--I gained a pound just reading the thread. Does the minute timer on your range not work?
Wonderful poundcake Hans! And I love the last picture with the vintage Tupperware! I have a question about the baking pan. What are the three "thingies" for that rise above the rim of the pan? I've seen them before, I even have an American baking pan with it, but never understood the purpose of them.
They are there you you can flip an Angle food or Chiffon cake over to cool. Both need to cool inverted, though I put mine on an old glass coke bottle to cool. My mother had a very large funnel she used to put here cakes on, inverted of course, but my dad used it in the garage for oil so that was the end of that.
I never saw this overhere in Europe. So how does this work? You get the cake out of the baking pan and put the baking pan over the cake?

No..
A angel food cake has no shortening in the recipe, likewise you dont grease the pan, when you take it out of the oven, you simply turn it up on the projections and let it cool, it sticks enough that it will not fall out, this way it does not fall , then when cool, you loosen it with a thin knife and out it comes, this pan is a Wear Ever from the 50s.

Oh I see! Thanks for explaining. I will have to try that sometime with my Angel Food cake pan.
Hans I have a pan just like that one that was my Grandmother's. I can't wait to try out the cake in it
I love Black Walnuts!!!!!
Could I be piggy and ask for the Brown Sugar Black Walnut Cake recipe?

My mother would hold up the pan with two pot holders while my brother or I positioned three inverted custard cups to hold the cake higher. Coca Cola was not part of her growing up years so she did not use a bottle to hold the cake. That would have been beneath her anyway. Her pan had a removable bottom/tube section. Getting the cake out was like surgery.
Keeping an angel food cake pan free from contamination by grease was a fetish to bakers. A separate dish cloth from the drawer was used to wash it with detergent, never soap, lest a film remain. It was rinsed with scalding hot water to remove any trace of grease that might have contaminated the pan then dried with a clean dish towel fresh out of the drawer.

The recipe sounds good and the finished product looks great! Might be a good one to turn into a rum cake.

baked this pound cake Thursday night. It was wonderful! Very light, tender, and delicious. When it was still warm the taste hinted of egg custard. Thanks for sharing! Jim
