Eggnog Pound Cake
Do you have a recipe for eggnog pound cake?
--Priscilla
Hello Priscilla,
Well, I don’t have a recipe specifically called “eggnog pound cake,” but my Brown Sugar Pound Cake comes awfully close to what you're looking for. It has 5 eggs and 1/4 cup of rum. You might want to omit the nuts and add a bit of nutmeg for more of an eggnog flavor. And don’t miss my Eggnog Cheesecake for another egg-y holiday dessert!

Question
Can you use olive oil for baking and have the same results? I used extra virgin olive oil in a cornbread recipe and it didn't hold together and the flavor was not there.

QuestionDear Betty, We love your recipes but are on a tight budget. We only buy our groceries for a month at a time so we buy family packs. We divide the meat up in portions for one meal. We would like some new recipes for boneless pork chops, boneless skinless chicken and fish. Thank you, LoraineMarch 2012

Question
I am puzzled by the puff pastry method… the flour is to be just thrown into the boiling water, won’t it clump? What would happen if the flour and salt was first mixed with a bit of cold water? Would it still clump? Or what would happen? Or has it never been tried this way before?

QuestionHi Betty: Why do some cake recipes call for sifted flour? How does it make a difference in the end result? Thank you, GigiMarch 2012

QuestionI used to have a recipe for Nan's peanut butter cookies made by you, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! I've tried at least a dozen others but they don't compare in taste or the softness of yours. --MicaelaMarch 2012

QuestionAloha Betty -- There are so many recipes I would like to try but have wine as one of the ingredients. We don't drink alcohol and don't want to cook with it... Is there anything I can use as a substitute? Mahalo! --Shari LeeMarch 2012
