BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH SHERRY GLAZE
If you are a reluctant baker and make only one cake a year, let it be a birthday cake for someone you love. There is so little effort and so much glory to the project. A two-layer cake is simple to produce, but if even that seems daunting, no complaints will arise from a golden Bundt cake. In our times, the simple fact of a homemade cake is enough to impress. Drizzling a liquid glaze over the cake is much easier than frosting, just as pretty, and does not require alarming specialty gadgets such as an "offset spatula."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour an angel-food-cake pan. Sift together the flour and baking powder. Using a mixer at medium speed, beat the butter until creamy and slowly add the brown sugar. Mix in the egg yolks, milk, vanilla, orange extract and 2 tablespoons of the sherry. Blend in the flour mixture.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold them into the batter. Fold in the walnuts, raisins, currants and orange peel. Scrape into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes, then unmold and cool on a rack before glazing.
- In a small bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar and remaining 11/2 tablespoons sherry until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top.
