7 Up Pound Cake

Ingredients

3 Sticks Unsalted Butter, room temperature

3 Cups Granulated Sugar

5 Whole Eggs, room temperature

1 Tablespoon Lemon Extract

1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

1 cup  Ounces 7 up  room temperature

3 Cups Cake Flour

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

In a large bowl using a hand mixer, blend the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, takes about 5 minutes. Next, add the eggs to the batter one at a time until each one is thoroughly blended. Add the lemon and vanilla extracts, mix well.

Next, add the cake flour and 7 up to the batter alternately beginning and ending with flour. Be sure to stop periodically to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Here’s the rhythm: 1 cup flour, mix; ½ cup 7 up, mix; 1 cup flour, mix; ½ cup 7 up, mix; and the last cup of flour, mix. All of the batter should be well incorporated.

Finally, using your hand or clean paper towel, rub the inside of a bundt, or angel food, cake pan with room temperature butter, just a thin even coating. Then put about a ¼ cup of cake flour into the pan and roll it around allowing it to stick to the butter in the pan, again, just a thin coating. Shake out the excess flour. Pour the cake batter into the cake pan evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour and 10 minutes or just until a wooden skewer comes out clean.

Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 to 15 minutes, remove and place it on a plate or cooling rack to finish cooling for about an hour.

Gumbo History

For those who may not know what a Gumbo recipe is,It is a stew that originated in southern Louisiana during the 18th century.


It consists primarily of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish, a thickener, and the vegetable holy trinity of celery, bell peppers, and onions.

Since the 19th century, gumbo has often been served at social gatherings.Gumbo is the official cuisine of the state of Louisiana. Many southern Louisiana cooking competitions center around gumbo and it is a central feature of many local festivals.



"Gumbo Capital of the World", Bridge City, Louisiana, holds an annual Gumbo Festival.The festival features gumbo cooked in a cast-iron pot 3 ft (0.9 m) deep and 5 feet (1.5 m) in diameter. More commonly, festival gumbo pots measure 2 ft (0.6 m) in depth and diameter.

Gumbo is cooked for a minimum of three hours, and often simmers all day.Because seafood cooks fairly quickly, it is not added to the pot until the end of the process.

Gumbo is serve from the pot on the stove.




Just dance to zydrco



Gumbo is often categorized by the type of thickener used. African vegetable okra is traditional African cooking for thicker a gumbo is a reinterpretation of  West Africans used the vegetable okra as a base for many dishes, including soups, often pairing okra with meat and shrimp, with salt and pepper as seasonings.

The Choctaw spice filé powder as a thicker (dried and ground sassafras leaves),


Or roux, the French base made of flour and fat


 or orka from the African.


In Louisiana let me point out Cajun and Creole Gumbo are two distinct cultures, and while over the years they continue to blend, there is still a vast distinction in Louisiana, and both have their own unique stories.


Only One thing,Creole cuisine uses tomatoes and proper Cajun food does not.

Surviving records indicate that by 1764 African slaves in New Orleans mixed cooked okra with rice to make a meal.


Creole and Cajun gumbos are served over hot rice.
