Blue Ribbon Pound Cake with Duck Eggs

Duck eggs are spectacular for baking as you'll taste in this wonderful dessert. Thanks to my very good friend in Irvington who loves to shop and share from Dug In farm stand.

What you need:

• 4 cups sifted all purpose flour

• 1 tsp. baking powder

• ½ tsp. salt

• 1 pound butter

• 1 cup milk

• 2 tsp. vanilla or lemon extract, or 1 of each. (Sometimes I use 1 tsp. of mace, no lemon)

• 3 cups sugar

• 6 large duck eggs

Directions:

• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.

• Have butter, milk, and eggs at room temperature!

• Cream butter until very light and fluffy – then add sugar gradually, creaming all the while.

• Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

• Combine milk and flavoring.

• Add dry ingredients alternately with the milk/extract mixture - - - beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Do this in four or five additions.

• Pour into a well greased and floured bundt pan and a small loaf pan. (makes a nice little small loaf as well)

• Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes. This may vary depending on your oven. Enjoy!
