Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, at room temperature

1 1/2 cups organic sugar from cane juice

3 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

grated zest of 1 lemon

1/2 cup sour cream

Equipment:

oven

loaf pan

bowl

hand mixer

spatula

frying pan

toothpicks

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour the inside surface of a standard loaf pan. Set aside. In medium bowl, sift together the flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, and using an electric mixer on high speed, whip together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Mix in the eggs one at a time until each one is well incorporated. Mix in the vanilla and lemon zest. On low speed, mix in half the flour, then half the sour cream. Alternate between the two until all of the flour and sour cream have been mised into the batter. Be sure to frequently scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula to ensure that all of the batter gets evenly incorporated. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. It will be a little thick so be sure to use a rubber spatula to get any remaining batter from the bowl and to spread it evenly in the pan. Place the pan in the oven on the center rack. Bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
