1914 sponge cake


I had made a syrup accidentally, and decided it would pair nicely with a sponge cake! So I asked my mom to dig out my 1914-17 Fannie farmer Boston school of cooking book and send me photos of this sponge cake recipe 🙂

Turned out very nice the first day, but did not hold up well for the next!

    Sponge cake is my favorite, I use a recipe from a 1930’s Better Homes and Gardens binder.

    Very similar recipe only mine has 1/2 cup of liquid (water, oj, or milk) and the flour and sugar are 1.5 cups.

    I make it 10 or more times a year, I can practically make it with my eyes closed.

    If you ever do the math on how much a sponge cake costs to make it is obvious why they were so popular.
