Gödöllő Climate Club
January 2010
The carbon footprint of the club:
We tasted it in the January Club: the sour cherry cake recipe
Ingredients:
100 g butter (or margarine)
2 eggs
250 g sugar
100 g ground walnut
1 baking powder
300 g flour
3 dl milk
cc. 300 g sour cherries or cherries without pips
Mix the eggs with the sugar and then add the melted butter. Gradually add the baking powder that has already been mixed with the flour and milk. Finally add the ground walnut. Then pour it into a baking tin that is buttered and has a little flour sprinkled around. Sprinkle the fruit on top and put it into the pre-heated oven at 180 degrees and bake it for about 30 minutes. With a needle test if it is well-baked.
