What is Lady Baltimore cake?

Lady Baltimore Cake is a multilayer white cake that cooked white icing between its layers and coated its upper and side. What distinguishes from ordinary white layered cake is the addition of chopped nuts and ground candied or dried fruits mixed to the icing. It was a popular wedding cake at the beginning of the 20th century and remains among the best elections of many brides today. Because there is no mention of literature or evidence that this is a recipe before 1906, it is unlikely that it would have to do with the real Lady Baltimore. Ann Arundel, who died in 1649, was called Lady Baltimore because she was married to an Irish man who inherited the whole state of Maryland in the United States (USA), including her big city of Baltimor, from his father. Interestingly, she never visited the North American continent, just like Lord Baltimore never did.

The most likely origin of Lady Baltimore cake was a novel with a novel called Lady Baltimore , writtenOwen Wister and published in 1906. The legend has that before writing the book, Wister was given by the cake of South Belle from South Carolina, South Carolina, entitled Alicia Rhett Mayberry. The clothing impressed him so much that she included him in her novel, in the story that he had bought a cake for his own wedding in a tea room from a lady named Lady Baltimore, and then named the cake in her honor.

Wister's description of the appearance and taste of the cake was so attractive that readers of the novel desperately gained a recipe. Because it was not created, bakers decided to create a cake that imitated Wister's enthusiastic but vague description from the book. The only thing they had to continue was the passage: "Oh, my God!;; “

The first recipe for Lady Baltimore cake was released shortly afterwards. December 24, 1906 published a version that is still in the press. The only variations over the years have beenicing, which often included chopped figs and raisins, as well as the decaying cookies of macaroon.
