While browsing through some old recipes handed down to me by my mother, from the early 1920’s. I was reading an old cake recipe and thought some of the younger cooks might enjoy reading about the cooks from long ago and what they had to go through to make a simple cake. The first thing on the agenda was “Start a fire in the stove” After the fire is going well and you are ready to mix your batter, add 3 sticks of wood to the fire. Using a regular teacup, measure the flour and sugar and a regular teaspoon to add your other dry ingredients and again add a tea cup of milk. When the batter is ready to go into the oven add another stick of wood which should be sufficient to have the oven at the proper temperature and bake the cake. Today we are so lucky to have proper measuring utensils, an electric mixer to do the work of mixing and just turn a dial or punch a button, set the correct temperature for our oven. We have “come a long way Baby” in our cooking and baking through the past 100 years. And of course, if you don’t have the time or don’t want to take the time to bake a cake, we have an abundant number of resources to buy a ready baked, frosted and even decorated cake. Pretty lucky, aren’t we? I thought I would share some easy desserts this week. And you don’t even have to build a fire!
