    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!

    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.
    I've been finally defrosted by cassiesmom!

    I do love the idea of Wacky cake!! If you bought that in Amsterdam, it might truly contain a secret ingredient!! I'll have that instead!! Or is it too late to change my order?

    Oh yeah - I remember that. I had the recipe at one time - a friend had given it to me. She called it Crazy Cake tho, and yes - it was very moist.
