The table laid for Paul's birthday: Lemonade*, Brandy Cheesecake and Bourbon Pecan Pie
Showing off my vintage tablecloth
A slice of Brandy Cheesecake
Brandy Cheesecake
- The 9" springform pan is coated with 2 tablespoons of very soft butter.
- The butter is coated with soft breadcrumbs (from my English White Bread) and a teaspoon of sugar.
- The cream cheese should be softened enough so that sugar can be stirred in with a spoon and you don't have to get a mixer dirty!
- Stirring in eggs and vanilla
- Sifted flour is folded in.
- After batter is poured into pan, nutmeg is grated over the top.
- Just out of the oven
- Chilled and ready to cut
*from the recipe in my 1950 Betty Crocker cookbook
Love the black and white photo of the table setup. Interesting background, gives us a glimpse of the awesome chair and what appears to be a mod brass lamp (yup, I see it).
ReplyDeleteAs always, your post makes me crave for cheesecake!
p.s. Birthday greetings to your husband!
ReplyDeleteI bought springform pans a few months ago and still haven't used them... I need to give em a try! I love how you set the table and love your photos.
