Celebrate Presidents Day with Lincoln Pound Cake
From left: Lincoln Cake from bakinghistory.wordpress.com; Abraham Lincoln.
When you think of Abraham Lincoln, who would have celebrated his bicentennial this week, do you think of pound cake? This vintage recipe for Lincoln Cake found on the blog Baking History was first published in The Godey’s Lady’s Book Receipts and Household Hints in 1870 to honor the sixteenth president. The lemon pound cake doesn't have any overt Lincoln qualities, but sure looks tasty. [via Frederick Kaufman]
