A.B.'s Pound Cake

Servings: 16

3 eggs
1 cup double or heavy cream
1 cup jaggery/brown sugar* (see note below)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
a few drops vanilla extract


Instructions:
Combine all the ingredients. Pour into greased 8 or 9-inch cake tin. Bake at 350°F/180°C for 40 minutes.

Note:
Jaggery Sugar
This is a tan, unrefined sugar that is common in India. It's made from the sap of palm trees or sugar cane and is much more flavorful than granulated sugar. It's often sold in solid cakes, but it should crumble when you squeeze it. Look for it in Indian markets.

Substitutes:
Mix 1 cup dark brown sugar plus 2 teaspoons molasses OR palm sugar OR piloncillo OR brown sugar OR maple sugar OR date sugar.
