Vintage Recipes?
Do you have an old Cookbook From like the 1800-early 1940’s? And are willing to copy down a recipe for me? Dessert especially. I’ll award my fave 10 points! But to get the 10 points I want the recipe not to be found on the internet! Thanks!
Hartford Election Cake (Recipe 100 years old)
5 pounds of dried and sifted flour
2 pounds of butter
2 pounds of sugar
3 gills of distillery yeast, or twice the quantity of home-made yeast
Four (4) eggs
A gill of wine and a gill of brandy
Half an ounce of nutmegs and two pounds of fruit
1 quart of milk
Rub the butter very fine into the flour; add half the sugar, then yeast; then half the milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm, then the eggs well beaten, the wine and the remainder of the milk.
Beat well in the morning, adding the brandy, the sugar and the spice. Let rise three or four hours, till very light.
When the wood is put into the oven, put the cake in buttered pans, also the fruit, as directed previously. If a richer cake is wanted, add a pound of citron.
I got this recipe from a cook book put out in 1902. The one I have is the 1919 edition. You will notice that this recipe was 100 years old in 1919…wow! that’s something. The name of the book is
“Practical Cooking & Serving” by Janet McKenzie Hill
A lot of the recipes and menus are colonial style. You are welcome to e-mail me and I’ll share more recipes with you.
