Mead Cake?

Hi,

I'm looking for a recipe for mead cake. Does anyone here have such a
thing, or know where I can get one?

Drizzle a basic honey cake repeatedly with mead until saturated... then
partake until saturated. hehe

Sheldon

Sounds good! 🙂 Thanks....

Do you mean "Idromele" liqueur? If you need the recipe of this, I can give
you. I always make idromele; it is also called "Gods drink" !!! It is very
very good!
cheers

I believe Idromele is Italian for mead. It's not mead itself that I
want to make, but a cake which uses it in the recipe. I have tried
brewing once or twice and have discovered that I just don't have the
patience!

Oh sorry ! I missunderstood your question! You want a cake with idromele!
I have only the recipe of an apple cake with idromele inside.
I don't know if you want it.

Yes please - I'm collecting all the mead-related cake recipes I can
find. I then intend to have great fun trying them all out! It's for
my wedding cake - I just need to make sure I will fit in the dress at
the end of it! 😉

Apple and mead sounds like a great combination... 🙂

Yes, I know! Once upon a time I hadn't rum for my apple cake and I put
idromele. It was terrific!
I search for the recipe, than I translate and I send you ASAP.

Pandora, even if munchkin doesn't want the recipe for Idromele/Mead, others,
including me, would like it. Maybe you could post it in a separate subject
heading? Thanks! Eric

Aha! Thank you - I've been looking for that....

I'm used to using usenet (try saying that after a few drinks....) via a
normal newsreader, but this isn't a group I would normally subscribe to
so going via google seemed easier. It does hide things like this
pretty well, though....!

If you search google there are innumerable websites with lots of
information about making mead and related drinks. There's also a
rec.crafts.meadmaking group which might be of interest.

Inernet and books are full of recipe of idromele. It's true! But is true
also the fact that all the recipes I've tried wasn't perfect. To make a
perfect liqueur (for yourselves), as you surely know, you must try doing it
many times: till you find the exact quantitys of ingredients which are good
for your taste.
Very often, liqueur recipes require a lot of sugar and few alcohol. I don't
like too much sugar in liqueurs, and I don't like a liqueur with few alcohol
in it, so I very often change the quantity required.
My idromele is fruit of a long experience , here why it is different from
any recipe you will be able to find on web.

All this talk of mead had me wondering what it was. A google gave a few
good sites. The mead looks quite nice! Is it a stong flavour?

That depends very heavily on the mead you get, how its made, what sort
of honey is used, etc. It's like asking is wine a strong flavour?
Depends on the wine! In general it's fairly sweet, as you would
expect, although some people do make dryer versions. I like the very
sweet ones, but that's personal taste. I'm also fond of many of the
spiced ones with things like cinnamon & cloves, etc (and mulled mead,
made like mulled wine but you don't usually need to add any sugar is
very nice), but generally less fond of the fruity ones, although it
does depend somewhat on the fruit in questions.

In the UK Lindisfarne do a fairly dry, winey mead which I'm not
terribly fond of, but I know plenty of people who love it. Lurgashall
do a somehwhat sweeter one which is very nice, and a spiced liquor
version (called Old Jenny, I think?) which is yummy, but everyone's
favourite is Moniack, which is very sweet, and very tastey. But there
are plenty of others, too.

I highly recommend you give it a try, though - just remmeber if you
don't like the first one you try it's worth experimenting with
others....

I had to use Google for about four months at the start of the year, so
I spent quite a bit of time messing with it before hitting on how to
quote with it. All appeals to Google to change the default Reply to
have usenet standard quotes and attributions have been roundly ignored.
