[Lady's Human]

I'm about to make a blueberry cake.

Anyone want some?

[Karen]

Blueberry cake, please! And a glass of lemonade, too, barkeep!

Blueberry cake is a family favorite, not too sweet, moist and full of yummy blueberries. Still warm with a but of butter - yummmmmm!

Cassiesmom, what does red velvet cake taste like? I've heard of it, but never seen it in person, I gather it's a traditional Southern thing?

Oooh, blueberry cake and lemonade, those sound really good together

I thought red velvet cake originated at Eaton department store of Canada in the 1950's. I've had it as typical cake batter (mild cakey flavor) with cream cheese frosting to set off the red color, but I've also seen a couple of recipes for it with cocoa powder in the batter. PTers, does anyone else know more about it than I do?
Thanks,
elyse

They add red food coloring or beet juice to the homemade style cakes.

One BBC and lemonade?

DONE?


Shall we open the doors and sit on the patio?



I have a nickel for the juke box too....

I'm gonna raise a fuss, I'm gonna raise a holler
About a workin' all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby, and try to get a date
My boss says, "No dice son, you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

Well my mom and pop told me, "Son you gotta make some money,
If you want to use the car to go ridin' next Sunday"
Well I didn't go to work, told the boss I was sick
"Well you can't use the car 'cause you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

I'm gonna take two weeks, gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem to the United Nations
Well I called my congressman and he said Quote:
"I'd like to help you son but you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues

DONE!

POM,

A Jewish Apple Cake?

DONE!

Actually it was supposed to have been popular at some fancy hotel in NY in the 1920's, but where it originally came from, I don't know.

[slick]

Does this mean we can have our cake and eat it too?
Well I guess that will be a cake walk!
Won't that be a slice.
It would the icing on the cake.

Ok, Ok, I'm having a crumby day. Got a lot on my plate.

Oh please, I'll stop now. No cake for me. I'll just have Mocha Frap please.

[RICHARD]

One Mocha Frap...
Remember, there is always someone having a WORSER time than you are having....

DONE?

[Pinot's Mom]

Ok, first order of business....Red Velvet Cake is a a devil's food cake originally. It was a signature at the Waldorf Astoria in New York in the 1920's. Eaton's department store in Canada had a recipe in the 40's and 50's, but it was not original. As far as it being southern; that came from the movie Steel Magnolias.

Now, I'd love blueberry cake, please. A vodka and lemonade would be nice with that, thanks! I have no access to my kitchen (as some of you may have read in Pinot's post).

Thanks for the info!

DONE!

[Catherinedana]

OOOOooo Cake! I haven't had cake in quite a while. . .

I'd like chocolate and vanilla swirl pound cake (the end piece) with a scoop of chocolate chip mint ice cream. I get the feeling that I may have requested this at Thursday's before. . unless I'm having a voo ja day!

[smokey the elder]

The recipe for the red velvet cake at the Waldorf Astoria was supposedly "top secret" for awhile, but it seems simple enough to have been "reverse engineered". My grandmother used to make something called "wacky cake" which was a variant on sour cream cake; I suspect vinegar and baking soda were involved; the CO2 acts as the leavening agent. The cake was darker than chocolate, as I recall, and very moist.
