1890 CREAM CAKE
This is from one of my most prized cookbooks Compendium Of Cookery and Reliable Recipes.Copywrite 1890.It is so old I'm almost afraid to touch the pages.I wouldn't make this but I thought it would be fun to post it.It dosen't give a baking time so I'll guess at it but keep in mind they cooked on wood stoves then. Them measure in goblets!!
