Today was Elvis' 75th birthday, if he were still alive, and this recipe
was in the Chicago Tribune. I have not tried it, but I would love to.
Elvis was before my time, but when I was a kid, I sure did enjoy his
movies.

BTW, I want to compare this cake to koko's Bishop's Cake.

Becca

Elvis Presley Pound Cake

3 cups sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
7 eggs, at room temperature
3 cups cake flour, sifted twice
1 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract


Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine the sugar and butter in bowl of electric
mixer; beat on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1
at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the
flour; add whipping cream. Beat in remaining flour and vanilla.

Pour batter into two buttered and floured 8½-x-4½-inch loaf pans. Bake
until golden and a tester inserted in the center of cakes comes out
clean, about 1 hour. Cool in pans 5 minutes. Remove from pans; cool
completely on wire racks. Makes 2 cakes, about 20 servings.

This would be really good for a Viennese Torte, separated horizontally
into 7 or so layers and filled with chocolate ganache.

Well, that was the name BH & G gave it in a 60s recipe book ;-) I
never said it was authentically from Vienna.

Well, I don't know who or what "BH & G" is. But they shouldn't use
words where they don't understand the concept behind them.

Epicurious has a Viennese Linzertorte recipe that resembles exactly what
you describe. We are going on vacation tomorrow, but I would like to
try that recipe.

I like the BH&G magazine(s). Although, I do believe it's a bit
regional??? I'm not sure however. For instance, there are various
".... Living" magazines, whether they're "Southern ...., Midwestern
......" or others in various USA regions. Mostly fru-fru stuff, but
there are some features to be gleaned ;>> Somtimes there are even very
good recipes! YMMV of course!

Perhaps. Yet some of us Americans are amused, delighted, overwhelmed
and amazed by a Sacher Torte. And this one is about as good as I have
ever made. Are you in the split across the middle school or the one solid
piece school? Or do you think it matters as long as the quality of the
chocolate and the apricot filling are great?

I've never thought of BH&G as regional. An example of regional
magazine, for me, is Sunset. Their market is Western states and as
far as I know they don't advertise outside of that market.

Sky, I agree, some of the regional magazines contain recipes worth
trying. I like Texas Monthly and Southern Living, but I would love to
be exposed to some from other parts of the country.

Does being knowledgeable make one a snob? For that matter, we
only see them, anyone, here, and form impressions, warranted or
not, on that basis.

If you possesed the lowest IQ possible and weren't sired by such a
lazy ******* you'd have typed out Better Homes and Gardens... which in
most all other languages would translate to some other words. making
BH & G meaningless.... this is an international domain, IMBECILE!

Contrary to what Michael K. wrote, the USA sets the *standard* for world
pop/mass consumer culture - like it or not...in fact "culture" is our
biggest "export", e.g. movies, music, teevee, blue jeans, internet/computer
stuff and many other things. Even fast food - France is McDonald's biggest
market outside of the US, and it's not Yanqui tourists on the Champs Elysee
buying all those Le Big Macs...political revolutions/change used to be the
murky stuff of sekret agents and microfilm and backstabbery, now it's for
all the world to see on Twitter (as in Iran). Rock music played an integral
part in doing in Soviet - style Kommunism...repressive ******** places like
Cuba have *thriving* hip - hop music scenes, there are many other examples.
Laff all ya want, but the US is - and will continue to be - THE most
culturally and intellectually dynamic place in the world, no other place
even comes *close*...and THAT is a FACT, son...!!!

Poor Greg is delusional. American pop music of the 50s sucked big time.
It was the British invasion that popularized the music that was shunned
in the US because is black music. Britain gave us the Beatles and the
American answer was The Monkees. How lame can you get? Cuba had a
pretty lively entertainment business before the US got its nose out of
joint when they traded in one corrupt dictator for Castro.

i ain't knocking the ex-quarrymen - they put out some great singles.
anyone responsible for 'drive my car' and 'taxman' commands respect - but
the fact remains that jazz, blues, and later rock 'n' roll were american
inventions, and therefore USA Number One!!!!eleventy!!

BH & G is not regional and it's more a "household" magazine than a
cooking magazine. I consider the "xxx Living" magazines travel and
food magazines - yes, very regional.

You can probably find "Midwest Living" at your magazine stand. I like
the "Living" magazines. And Sunset magazine.

American rock 'n roll of the 50s was the best, and there will never be
anything like it.
