   2 Seed Cakes

Plain Seed Cake:
    1 cup flour
    0.5 tsp baking powder
    pinch of salt
    0.5 cup butter
    0.5 cup sugar
    3 tsp caraway seed
    1 egg, beaten
    milk
Sift together the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt.  Cut in the
butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.  Add sugar, caraway
seed and mix thouroughly.  Make a well in the center and add the beaten
egg and mix slowly.  Pour in sufficient milk to bind it all together to
make a stiff dropping consistency.  Pour into a greased and floured cake
or loaf pan.  Bake at 375 for 30 min.

Rich Seed Cake:
    1 cup butter
    1 cup granulated sugar
    2 beaten egggs
    1 tsp caraway seed
    1/3 cup candied orange peel
    pinch of nutmeg
    1 cup flour
    0.5 tsp baking powder
    0.25 cup brandy OR
    0.25 light cream
Cream together butter and sugar.  Gradually add the beaten eggs and a
little flour at the same time to prevent curdling.  Mix in the caraway
seed, candied peel and a pinch of nutmeg.  Carefully incorporate the rest
of the flour sifted with the baking powder.  A little brandy can be added
as liquid, but this is optional.  Milk or light cream may be
substituted.  The cake will keep longer with the brandy.  Bake 1 hour at
400 degrees.

    I've only made the first recipe, and can't vouch for the second.
With the first, I've made it with only half the butter, and it turned out
fine, not as rich though..

Aebleskiver                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Ingredients  

    
2 egg whites
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, melted
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

 Directions
1 Note: You will need an aebleskiver pan to cook these properly. Beat the whites stiff.
2 Mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, sugar, melted butter and buttermilk at one time and beat until smooth. Gently fold in the egg whites last.
3 Put about 1tablespoon of vegetable oil in the bottom of each aebleskiver pan cup and heat until hot. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of the batter into each cup. As soon as they get bubbly around the edge, turn them quickly (Danish cooks use a long knitting needle, but a fork will work). Continue cooking, turning the ball to keep it from burning.
 

Editor's Note:
 

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount may vary depending on cook time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.
 
 
Almond Ice Cream
 
1/4 cup blanched almonds
2 cups milk
2/3 cup heavy cream
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup superfine sugar
1tsp kirsch

Pound the almond into paste.
Add milk and heavy cream, mix thoroughly together.
In a saucepan, heat the almond mixture to a boil.  Remove from heat.
In a bowl, mix egg yolks, sugar and kirsch for 5 minutes.
Add almond milk and mix well with wooden spoon.
Heat the mixture over low heat for 5 minutes without letting it boil.  Stir
continuously.  Then allow it to cool.
Strain through a sieve into ice cream maker and freeze until the ice cream is
thoroughly firm.

I think you can probably use instant almond paste or almond extract instead
of pounding almond.  Be careful that the paste or extract is sweetened or not.
Also, you can add chopped fruits or nuts into the mixture.  Just use your
imagination and creativity.

Hope you would enjoy them!
