Old American Recipes

George Washington Cake
Early 19th century George Washington Cake Recipe
The George Washington cake is an early 19th century
creamed cake (a spicier variation of pound cake)
flavored with spices and frequently raisins and dried currants.

Though I think your favoriet dried fruits would be just as good.
Ingredients:
2 cups sifted cake flour, or 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 1/3 cups sugar, or 2/3 cup sugar and 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup heavy cream or milk
2 tbsp brandy or sweet wine (such as Port)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups raisins
1 1/2 cups dried currants
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, spices, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, gradually add the sugar,
and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add the egg mixture,
blending well. Add the cream, brandy, and vanilla.
Slowly add the flour mixture, continuing to blend.
Finally, stir in the raisins and currants.
Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan, or Bundt pan, and line the
bottom and sides with parchment paper, and grease again.
Pour into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake until
a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about
1 hour for a large loaf pan, or a tube pan.
I do think the next time I make it I will use dried cherries,
and pineapples. It just seems fitting.

A typical kitchen in the 1800's
Cooking in the 1800's
A typical day on the farm began very early. Women rose and built the fire
based on the meals planned for that day. Families who could afford to
have detached kitchens (kitchens in buildings separate from the house)
did so for several reasons.
The kitchen often was hot, smoky, and smelly. For those who's families
did not have the resources for a separate kitchen, it was the hearth that
provided the center of home life and family activity. With no ovens or
electricity, women prepared meals on the hearths of brick fireplaces.
They used different types of fires and flames to prepare different types
of food. For example, a controllable fire was used to roast and toast,
while boiling and stewing required a smaller flame. To use all of the fire's
energy, families shoveled coals and ash underneath and onto the lids of
Dutch ovens. Standing on three legs and available in a wide array of sizes,
the cast-iron Dutch oven was one of the most important tools found on the
hearth. It was used to prepare several types of food and allowed cooking
from both the top and the bottom. Dutch ovens evolved into wood stoves,
common in homes of the later 1800s and early 1900s before most people
got electricity at home. Preparing meals was not just a matter of starting a
fire for cooking. Spices, such as nutmeg and cinnamon, and seasonings,
like salt and pepper, had to be ground up with mortars and pestles. Milk
had to be brought in from the family dairy cow and cream and butter made
from it. After someone brought in the milk, it usually sat out for about an hour.
The cream rose to the top, separating from the milk. Women placed this
cream into a butter churn and beat it until it hardened, first into whipped
cream and eventually into butter!
Every family member contributed to the production and preparation of meals.
Men and boys spent most of their time outdoors. Chores included working
crops in the fields, feeding larger livestock, and hunting. Diets included wild
game, such as deer and turkeys.
Women and girls worked mainly in the kitchen and fed smaller livestock.
Clearly, meal preparation two hundred years ago involved several more steps
than it does now.
Much like today, families usually ate three daily meals. The main meal in the
1800s, however, was not the large evening meal that is familiar to us today.
Rather, it was a meal called dinner, enjoyed in the early afternoon.
Supper was a smaller meal eaten in the evening.
A big difference between the way people eat today compared with long
ago is the work and time needed. For modern families, food and meals are
merely an after thought in the schedule.
Two hundred years ago, food and food preparation stood at the center of
the family's daily lifestyle.
Without the advances in technology that help us store, preserve, and prepare
food, men and women would spend much of their time getting meals ready to eat.

For the Witch in you, Magical Food Tips:
When preparing foods for specific magical purposes, cook with
purpose and care. Keep your goal in mind, love, money, protection,
health, fertility, strength, psychic awareness.
Always stir clockwise, clockwise motion is thought to be in harmony
with the apparent movement of the sun in the sky, and has been
linked with life, health and success.
Cut foods into shapes symbolic of your magical intention, such as
hearts for love a Pentagram for protection etc.
By contemplating the energy of love, money or protection, you can
bring magic into your kitchen each day.
Foods for Love:
For centuries witches have been using foods to create powerful
magic, and lovemagic is one of the most favored. The secret recipes
and secret spices thathave been used have always been a witches
most closely guarded secret.
Witches spend many hours carefully crafting their love magic and
using the secret ingredients containing the energy of love.

The History Of Brownies
The History Of Brownies
A chef at Chicago's Palmer House Hotel
created the confection after Bertha Palmer
requested a dessert for ladies attending
the Chicago 1893 World Fair; it should be,
she said, smaller than a piece of cake,
though still retaining cake-like
characteristics and easily eaten from boxed
lunches. These first brownies featured an
apricot glaze and walnuts, and they are
still being made at the hotel according to
the original recipe.The earliest published
recipes for a brownie like those of today
appeared in the Home Cookery (1904, Laconia,
NH), Service Club Cook Book (1904, Chicago,
IL), The Boston Globe (April 2, 1905 p.34),
and the 1906 edition of The Boston Cooking
School Cook Book by Fannie Merritt Farmer.
These recipes produced a relatively mild
and cake-like brownie. The name "brownie"
first appeared in the 1896 version of the
cookbook, but this was in reference to
molasses cakes baked individually in tin
molds, not true brownies. A second recipe
appeared in 1907 in Lowney's Cook Book,
by Maria Willet Howard.
The recipe was named Bangor Brownies,
possibly because it was created by a
woman in Bangor, Maine.
Here is that 1907 Brownie Recipe
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
3 squares chocolate (you can substitute 9
tablespoons of Cocoa Powder, and 3
additional tablespoons of butter if you like).
1/2 to to 3/4 cup flour
1 cup nut meats
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Put all ingredients in bowl and beat until
well mixed. Spread evenly in buttered
baking pan. Bake and cut in strips.
Note:
These are not easy to spread into the pan,
but don't give up, they are worth it.
Remember it is only the 2nd recorded brownie
recipe. In addition, I would bake at 350 F. until
a toothpick comes out clean.
Myths about the Brownies creation:
There are three main myths about the
creation of the brownie. First, that a
chef accidentally added melted chocolate
to biscuit dough. Second, a cook forgot to
add flour to the batter. And third, and the
most popular belief, that a housewife did
not have baking powder and improvised with
this new treat. It was said that she was
baking for guests and decided to serve these
flattened cakes to them. All three myths
have gained popularity throughout the years.
