SERVINGS About scaling and conversions





INGREDIENTS


2 eggs


3/4 cup white sugar


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


2 teaspoons baking powder


1 teaspoon salt


1 cup heavy whipping cream


DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x9 inch square pan.


Beat eggs in a small bowl until very thick. Add the sugar and the vanilla, beating well.


Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In three parts add the flour mixture alternately with the whipping cream to the egg mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.


Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.





2)


a golden crispy crust made from butter dough (mixed with butter, not margarine), a delicious vanilla cream of exactly the right consistency (with exactly the right amount of flour - if there is too much the cakes are no good, if too little, they collapse after cutting), topped with whipped cream and a crispy layer of butter dough and finally, last but not least, a good dusting of icing sugar.





3) a vanilla-custard-and-cream cake called kremna rezina . This dish was first created right here in Bled, at the big, red Park Hotel. Slovenes travel from all over the country to sample this famous dessert.





Slightly less renowned, but just as tasty, is grmuda (literally ';bonfire';). This dessert was developed by Hotel Jelovice as a way to get rid of their day-old dessert leftovers. Start with the remains of cakes, add rum, milk, custard, and raisins, and top it off with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. It's the perfect end to a perfectly relaxing day.
