French Cuisine: Duck, Prunes & Hazlenuts Pound Cake

DUCK-CAKE

Pound Cakes should be all cakes. The recipe can be adapted for meat eaters into an eminently presentable dish!
Duck/Magret is an exceptionally easy to adapt meat in such a case.
Here is another easy French recipe with another log name (it is becoming a habit! LOL):

    1. Dear Zach!
      Greetings!
      Thank you so much for your message!
      As any recipes, it is open to many variations.
      Of course chicken can be used although the taste will be blander, unless you fry it with some more seasoning.
      As for oil, use your favourite one!
      Duck breast is sold frozen in any big supermarket (Shizutetsu, Kimisawa, Coop,…) and department stores in Shizuoka!
      Cheers,
