Olde Tyme Recipes Cakes

Baking a cake is about more than simply mixing ingredients.

This is the cake volume of Olde Tyme Recipes. Sponge and angel, a workhorse cupcake that becomes layers, pound cake, crumb cake, honey cake, apple-sauce cake, marble cake. Then the chocolate: a cream cake you do not cut for a day, fudge cake, devil’s food, Lady Baltimore with its fruit icing.

At the back: potato chocolate cake, brown stone front, and prune cake — still cake, just not Sunday anymore.

Home-sized batches. Oven temperatures in degrees. Your edition.
