kaberettA little while ago I put a cake in the oven. The tin is from my grandma; the Kenwood mixer I used from Papa; and the recipe was e-mailed me by my mother: she transcribed from Grossmutti's copy of the recipe in Cornwall, which she in her turn transcribed from Grausi's recipe in Feldkirchen, probably sometime in the forties.
Happy birthday, me. :-)

Date: 2014-05-16 10:32 pm (UTC)I have a birthday cake recipe very much like it, from the Great Depression era. No other cake recipe tastes like a birthday cake unless it's made without eggs or milk. :)
Also our birthdays are so close! I'm at the end of the month.
