Southern Cakes: Sweet And Irresistible Recipes for Everyday Celebrations

Descripción

Sit yourself down on the porch swing and get ready to take a long, sweet look at the classic cake specialties in "Southern Cakes". From Brown Sugar Poundcake and fluffy white coconut cakes layered with lemon curd or raspberry jam to the chocolatey goodness of Mississippi Mud Cake and the extravagant elegance of Lady Baltimore Cake, you'll soon see why Southerners are so proud of their culinary history. Jam cakes and jelly rolls; humble pear bread and peanut cake; cakes with 1, 2, 3, and 4 layers; and even Eudora Welty's bourbon-soaked white fruitcake - each moist and delicious forkful represents the hospitality and welcome-to-the-South attitude of those who live below the Mason-Dixon line.
