Limequat pound cake, a potion for cold days



The last ingredient that was missing! exclaimed to myself in a supermarket. 
I was in the process of creating something different (the chicken or the egg ...), and encountered some strange fruits for my eyes. And took prey (after paying a small fee).Upon reaching the cave, small golden jewels were immersed in a bath of sugar and water in equal parts, and they were swimming around under low fire until they were tender. 


And waited, and waited, until one day, in times of snow and cold, gnashed his bowels, and there was only one answer for that in his great book (the big web with millions of recipes). This witch put them with others who were arrested from immemorial times in a big pot. And with little magical spells achieved a potion that deserves to be registered.



Now, back in real life, this recipe is about limequeats, not verty muchg seen in the Patagonia country. This fruits is a cross between green lemon and kumquats. So the taste is lemony, the acidity isn in the pulp and has the size of a kumquat, maybe a little larger.


This is a moist and fragant pudding, like a quatre quarts, and is an excuse to present you the fruit, and it can be done with any other fruit or any other element that surprises you.
