bring you all kinds of information about several different types this sweet treat, from bundt to sponge. • Ancient Egypt was home to the world’s first large-scale bakeries, which were the first to use yeast to make cakes rise before baking them on hot stones. To the ancient Romans, cake meant a small bread, as there was no sugar, and honey was an expensive commodity. • Cake-baking underwent a dramatic change in the mid-1800s. Previously, yeast was used as a leavening agent, but yeast was replaced with the introduction of baking soda and baking powder, both of which are greater raising agents. Temperature-controlled ovens also contributed to increased success. • Flour is classified by its protein content. The higher the protein, the harder the flour. Allpurpose flour has a protein content of 10-11 percent and is a good choice for cookies. Bread flour’s content is much higher, 15 percent, and is not suitable for cakes. Cake flour’s protein measures 7-8 percent, and its low gluten content makes it a perfect choice for delicate cakes. • Sponge cake uses only eggs, sugar and flour in its preparation, with no fat or leavening. The trick to a perfect sponge cake is to beat air into the batter at several stages during preparation.

CAKE (continued): • Order up tiramisu for dessert, and you’ll receive layers of ladyfingers soaked in espresso liqueur and layered with a custard mixture, topped with chocolate shavings. Ladyfingers, light sweet sponge cakes about four inches long, have been around since the late 1400s, when they were created to celebrate a visit of the King of France to Italy. They are also used in trifles, a layered dessert that incorporates cake, jam, custard, fruit and whipped cream. The trifle is served in a clear glass bowl so that all the beautiful layers can be seen.

• Bundt cakes have been around since 1950, when the fluted tubular pan was created by the founder of the kitchenware manufacturer Nordic. A group of Jewish women in Minneapolis approached David Dahlquist, asking him to design a pan based on an old European kugelhopf mold brought from the old country. The name “Bundt” was derived from the German word bund, which translates “community” or “gathering of people.”
• German chocolate cake, that rich chocolate layer cake with coconut pecan filling topped with chocolate frosting and more coconut, has nothing to do with Germany or its inhabitants. Back in 1852, an employee of the Walter Baker chocolate company developed a milder, BETTER KNOWN AS GREEN $2 BUD $2 BUD LIGHTBAR sweeter baking chocolate than the bittersweet Come out for chocolate that was commonly used.

• A dome-shaped cake filled with mousse and/or custard is known as a bombe, from the French word meaning domed or rounded. The cake is flipped from its dome-shaped mold onto a plate, then covered with a layer of chocolate or meringue. • What’s full of spices, frequently “re-gifted” and the subject of comedians’ jokes? That’s right, a fruitcake! Although this dense cake dates back to Roman times, its popularity increased greatly in the 1800s, when it became the preferred choice at Christmas gatherings and weddings. Loaded with glazed dried fruit, raisins and nuts, fruitcakes are often soaked in brandy, whiskey or liqueur. • The first boxed cake mix in the United States appeared around 1930, distributed by a molasses company, O. Duff and Sons. Seven other companies followed suit over the next 15 years. Betty Crocker and Pillsbury didn’t hit the grocer’s shelves until the late 1940s. • When Charles and Diana wed in 1981, they had 27 wedding cakes. Their official wedding cake was prepared by the head baker of the Naval Armed Forces, a process that took 14 weeks. Two identical cakes were made, in the event one might be damaged. The bottom layer required 12 hours to bake.

CAKE (continued): • A roulade is what most of us know as a jelly roll, a sponge cake that is filled with buttercream, fruit, lemon curd, whipped cream or ganache, then rolled up. At Christmas, you might see a Buche de Noel, or Yule Log, a roulade filled with chocolate buttercream and frosted with yet more chocolate, then decorated with chocolate branches to resemble a tree log. • In 1832, Prince Metternich of Austria was expecting important guests for dinner and gave his head chef the task of creating something new and sumptuous for dessert. The only trouble was that the chef was sick, leaving a 16-yearold apprentice in charge. Young Franz Sacher set to work inventing a chocolate sponge cake cut into three layers, filled with apricot jam and frosted with a rich icing. The dessert became known as Sachertorte and endures today as Vienna’s most famous specialty, with its recipe a safely guarded secret. • A 1906 romance novel was the source of the name of the lady Baltimore cake. The story, set in post-Civil War Charleston, mentioned the title character serving the dessert, a creation of tall white cake layers with a filling of chopped nuts and candied fruits, frosted with boiled white icing. The actual recipe was developed by two Baltimore women who opened a tea room after the success of the novel. These days, this cake is a popular one for Southern weddings. • Another Southern custom is the Groom’s Cake, a separate wedding cake traditionally served to unmarried women attending the wedding. This confection, much smaller than the regular wedding cake, is taken home and placed under the lady’s pillow, with the hope that she’ll dream of her future husband.

• Author Washington Irving is credited with the first written use of the term “dough-nut” in his 1809 publication “History of New York.” He described them as “balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog’s fat.” An American named Hansen Gregory maintained that he invented the ringshaped treat in 1849 while aboard a trading ship, when he punched a hole in the center of a ball of dough in an attempt to get rid of the raw center of the pastry.

• Quincy, Massachusetts, was home to the very first Dunkin’ Donuts shop, opened by founder Bill Rosenberg in 1950. Five years later, he was selling franchises for his new business. Today, the company is the world’s leading baked goods and coffee chain, with close to 9,800 outlets around the globe and $6 billion in annual sales. Dunkin’ Donuts serves up 52 varieties of donuts to more than three million customers on a daily basis. • Portland, Oregon’s Voodoo Doughnuts offers glazed donuts topped with vanilla frosting and your choice of Cap’n Crunch or Froot Loops cereal. For chocolate lovers, there is a chocolate donut, iced with chocolate frosting and topped with Coco-Puffs cereal. These varieties have achieved a higher approval rating than some of their earlier offerings, such as donuts glazed in Pepto-Bismol, Jaegermeister and a drowseinducing cough medicine (a variety that was pulled by the FDA).
