Its a Bunt Cake
!! ( every time I say the word Bunt Cake, I think of the Movie Big Fat Greek Wedding) , made of flour, butter, yeast, raisins and eggs.....simple and Delicious. In our house, it was a cake that was served after the Sunday afternoon dinner. I have a lot of memories surrounding the cake, including the cake mold. I am not sure who broke the Kouglof clay mold, was it my sister or I, but we both were in big trouble, as it was our Tata's (aunt) given to my mom. This it what it looks like to the left.
I always wanted one, but they are not readily available in the US and I didn't want a metal mold.
So, during one of my trips to the south of France I found one at an antique flea market in l'isle sur la sorgue. I was so excited...(if you click on the description to the above- I have linked a web site for purchases...
I made one last night for blogging purposes.....and also consumption.. Okay it was an excuse to make a cake.
