Good morning, Fare weather friends. We’ve come to rely on a number of men who are curious about food — as consumers, perhaps, more than as cooks. Their wonderings comprise a way to get you all thinking about recipes you might send.
This morning it’s David Wexler, a man who “just loves pound cakes. Long ago people around here used to love Mrs. List’s pound cake. I don’t have the recipe on hand, and sure would like to have it, so I can go back to begging my wife to make it.
“We do have the cookbook ‘Cake Doctor’ that gives recipes made with cake mix, using extra ingredients and methods to make the result taste homemade. I wonder if you can really get the same results.”
One final query from Mr. Wexler. “We have a bottle of dry sherry in the cabinet. If somebody will send a sherry cake recipe, I’ll beg my wife to cook that one too.”
