1841 Cider Cake
1841 Cider Cake.
The American Housewife
By and Experienced Lady
1 tea-cup butter
3 tea-cups sugar
4 eggs
6 tea-cups flour
A grated nutmeg
1 tsp saleratus
1/2 tea-cup milk
Stir together a tea-cup of butter, three of sugar—beat four eggs, and put into the cake, together with two tea-cups of flour, and a grated nutmeg. Dissolve a tea-spoonful of saleratus in half a tea-cup of milk, strain it, and mix it with the above ingredients— stir in a tea-cup of cider, and four more cups of flour.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? No
Notes: I had high hopes for this one. A written not next to the recipe said “good.” I tried it twice. The first time I think I replaced the saleratus with too much baking soda. Unfortunately, even the second time with less baking soda it didn’t come out that great. I did cut the recipe in half. Maybe that’s where I went wrong.
