"The history of cake dates back to ancient times. The first cakes were very different from what we eat today. They were more bread-like and sweetened with honey. Nuts and dried fruits were often added. According to the food historians, the ancient Egyptians were the first culture to show evidence of advanced baking skills. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the English word cake back to the 13th century. It is a derivation of 'kaka', an Old Norse word. Medieval European bakers often made fruitcakes and gingerbread. These foods could last for many months. "
Excerpted from: http://www.foodtimeline.org/foodcakes.html |
Is that the reason that most fruit cake can double as a doorstop?
|
No, that's the job of a rock cake. Fruitcakes keep the world interesting.
|
What's a rock cake?
|
Something between a cake and a (cookie) biscuit, slightly sweet, a little crumbly, often eaten with butter and jam. A sprinkle of sugar before baking gives it a faint crust. Volcano shaped, not a scone. It's a mid-afternoon break kind of thing. Some are heavier than others, with really heavy ones living up to their name. About 5 inches across. I think they're a Scots thing, but no hint of shortbread.
Google/Wiki has pictures and references. |
Do you have a recipe you'd recommend?
|
Wiki's looks fine.
|
I spent some time in a boys' dorm and caught something.
|

I was actually productive last night. My g/f and I signed up our puppy for training, did part of the grocery shopping, I cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed and shampooed the living room, bought and potted some ivy, did the dishes, and laundry. Now tonight all we have to do is finish the grocery shopping and chill.

I found a lost dog this morning. Collar with no tags. Now I have to wait for the office to open in order to find out if he's a tenant's or from one of the surrounding neighborhoods. |
Turns out the lost dog was from about a mile or two away. He's just lucky he was micro chipped.

I'd love to, but Casa Del Oldfart has priority. I've been slow with the photos because the changes are now mainly internal. |
