My almond pound cake tastes like eggs??? Its weird--I followed the recipe-6 eggs- and now my "pound cake" tastes like an almond omelette. Any one know why this might happen? ...And how I can prevent it from happening again??? TIA

Could it be the eggs you have used are just extra tasty? or that a flavouring might have been omitted? Apart from these possibilities I wouldn't have a clue - looking forward to reading others' experiences.

That's funny that you said that Glorious, as I DO use different eggs than most. I have very strong feelings against factory farming and because of this, I get all of my eggs from friends that have chickens (happy, veg-fed, free range, never slaughtered chickens!!). But I've never noticed that they taste any "stronger" in any of my other food...But I guess its possible

Small farm eggs DO taste stronger than factory eggs. They are usually a different breed of chicken. (Commercial hens are usually Leghorns.) Quite often they are also larger, as the hens live longer than a year.
My chickens lay HUGE brown eggs with strong-flavored dark orange yolks. I always use less than the recipe. (There are weight and liquid measurements for eggs to see if that is the problem.)

7yyrt--

Then I bet you are right--these were large brown eggs! I have never noticed a stronger than usual egg taste from them, but I have never made any recipe that called for 6 eggs. So I'm going to assume the mystery is solved and cut back the eggs in that recipe to 4 or 5. Thanks for responding!
