Merri,I posted a lembas recipe on the "Arda recipe book" thread, but it is really just a coffee cake.

Raefindel's Lembas
Cake batter

1 cup butter or margerine , softened
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sour cream


the cinnamon sugar stuff
3/4 cups sugar
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped Pecans

In large bowl, cream butter and 2 cups sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla & eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt: add alternately with sour cream, beating just enough after each addition to keep batter smooth. Spoon 1/3 of batter into a greased, 10inch tube pan. Combine cinnamon, nuts & 3/4 cup sugar; sprinkle over batter in pan. Repeat layers two more times. Bake @ 325 for 45-70 min or until cake tests done. COOL FOR 10 MIN BEFORE REMOVING FROM PAN. Remove to wire rack to cool. Slice into wafers and wrap with mallorn leaves.
