Elvis Presley's Favorite Pound Cake
I was excited to bake Elvis Presley's Favorite Pound Cake from the latest issue of Gourmet as an opportunity to use up my stash of cake flour so I acquired the extra eggs and the heavy cream that the recipe called for. As I started to mix my ingredients, I noticed the one ingredient notation that would have deterred me from starting down the path of baking this pound cake. The recipe called for "sifted" cake flour and the directions required this already "sifted" cake flour to be "sifted" another two times. In total, the precious cake flour needed not one, or two, but THREE siftings. Since Gourmet claimed "This is the best pound cake we have ever tasted," I didn't want to miss out on the experience so I decided to go against my personal vow to ignore flour sifting.
As I started to methodically sift the first cup of flour, an overwhelming feeling of resentment began to build. I started thinking, "it's just like that Elvis to demand his flour be sifted thrice...that's so typical of rock stars...does he really need sifted flour...I'll bet he never had to sift his own flour." In light of these negative emotions, I decided to skip the sifting and just give the flour a bit of a "stir." Pound cake was pretty darned tasty...if only I had my own personal flour sifter at my beck and call, the pound cake would be even more sublime. Afterall, we're talking about the King here and he deserved only the best.
