COLOMBIAN POUND CAKE
A very rich pound cake that is traditional in Colombia and is used to make the even richer Torta de Coco (Coconut Cake), the recipe for which is posted separately. You will note that this cake contains no baking powder or soda--just a bit of brandy and lots of eggs.

Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Cream the butter until fluffy; gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until the mixture is very light and fluffy.
- Add the egg yolks, one at a time, continuing to beat on medium-high speed.
- Stir in brandy and vanilla and mix well.
- Sift the flour and salt together into the butter/egg mixture and blend very well.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff and dry.
- Fold the whites into the batter with a rubber spatula until no white bits are visible--but be gentle.
- Butter one ten inch cake pan (or small loaf tins if you want to freeze some).
- Place parchment paper on the bottom of the buttered pan and press it down, then turn the paper so it is buttered on both sides.
- Pour the batter in the pan and give it a bit of a whack against the counter to make sure it is settled in the pan.
- Bake for about an hour, or until the cake begins to pull away from the sides and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool on a rack.

TORTA DE COCO (COCONUT CAKE)
A really amazing, very rich cake from Colombia--a sort of bread pudding except instead of using bread, it uses pound cake (I have posted the recipe for the traditional Colombian pound cake). It's worth making just for the aromas of the cooking syrup and then the torta baking--but you will love eating it as well.

Steps:
- Soak the raisins in the sherry.
- Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar, the water and the cinnamon sticks and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it forms a thick syrup.
- Add the coconut, stir well, and cook another three minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool; when cooled, remove and discard cinnamon sticks.
- Grate the poundcake into a large bowl.
- Beat the egg yolks and add them to the pound cake along with the coconut mixture, the raisins and sherry and the ground cinnamon.
- Butter a ten inch springform pan.
- Beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
- Fold them, using a rubber spatula, into the cake mixture, blending well but gently.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for an hour, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool on a rack before opening the springform pan.
- Note: Even the best springform pans leak sometimes, so wrap the bottom with some foil and place a cookie sheet on the oven shelf beneath the shelf on which you bake the cake.
