Archie’s Recipe Book

Pages 15 and 16 added

Pages 15 and 16 have been added to the site. An epic fruit cake recipe begins on page 15 and continues onto page 16 followed by a Queen of Hearts cake (which seems positively dainty compared to the fruit cake).

I’ve added the second index page (there are 8 total) as page 16 is linked there. It’s a sneak preview of recipes to come.

Pages 13 and 14 added

Pages 13 and 14 have been added to the site. Recipes include angel food cake, pound cake, apple sauce cake, fruit cake, and chocolate cake.

It’s interesting that some of these recipes only include ingredients, but no instructions. These recipes appear to be variations on a theme, like they are variations on other recipes — only differing in ingredients, but not technique.

One of the recipes comes from someone who’s surname I don’t recognize, “Alma Jeague” - I’m not sure if I’m transcribing it correctly and the name doesn’t ring a bell. Whoever she is, she puts brown sugar in her chocolate cake, which I approve of.

Pages 11 and 12 added.

Pages 11 and 12 have been added. These pages continue the cake section with recipes for layer cake, cocoa cream cake, a ‘dixie spice’ cake, and a pecan cake (soaked in brandy).

So many cake recipes! I am reminded how important dessert is down South.

Page 10 - cakes continued

Page 10 has been added. This page continues the cake section with recipes for Devil’s Food Cake, Irish Potato Cake, and Danish Orange Cake. My favorite parts of this page are the cross references to frosting recipes, and the very minimal instructions. I think, by the time of writing this page, he had cake technique down, and only needed the ingredients list.
