TIDBITS® SAYS
LET THEM EAT CAKE!by Kathy Wolfe
This week’s Tidbits really takes the cake! We bring you all kinds of information about several different types this sweet treat, from bundt to sponge. •AncientEgyptwas home to theworld’s firstlarge-scalebakeries,whichwerethefirsttouseyeast 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-bakingunderwentadramaticchangeinthe 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 classifiedby itsproteincontent.Thehigher the protein, the harder the flour.All-purpose flour has a protein content of 10-11percent and is a good choice for cookies. Bread flour’scontentismuchhigher,15percent,andisnotsuitableforcakes.Cakeflour’sproteinmeasures 7-8 percent, and its low gluten content makes it a perfect choice for delicate cakes.
•Spongecakeusesonlyeggs,sugarandflourinits 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’llreceivelayersofladyfingerssoakedinespressoliqueur and layered with a custard mixture, toppedwith 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 theKingofFrancetoItaly.Theyarealsousedin trifles, a layered dessert that incorporatescake, jam, custard, fruit and whipped cream. Thetrifleisservedinaclearglassbowlsothatall the beautiful layers can be seen.
•Bundt cakes have been around since 1950,when the fluted tubular pan was created bythe founder of the kitchenware manufacturer Nordic. A group of Jewish women inMinneapolis 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 chocolatelayer cakewith coconut pecan filling toppedwith chocolate frosting and more coconut, has nothing to do with Germany or its inhabitants. Back in 1852, an employee of the WalterBaker chocolate company developed a milder, sweeter baking chocolate than the bittersweet chocolate that was commonly used. That employee, an Englishman, was named SamGerman, and the Baker company named the invention after him.
•Do you know where the pound cake getsits name? Developed in England during the1700s, the recipe called for a pound each of butter, eggs, flour and sugar.Maybe it couldalso mean how much you’ll gain from eating this delicious confection!

Although this dense cakedates back to Roman times, its popularity increased greatly in the 1800s, when it became the preferred choice at Christmas gatheringsand weddings. Loaded with glazed dried fruit, raisins and nuts, fruitcakes are often soaked in brandy, whiskey or liqueur.

•In 1832, Prince Metternich of Austria wasexpecting important guests for dinner and gave his head chef the task of creating something new and sumptuous for dessert.
