Southern Cakes by Nancie McDermott
Admittedly, I bought this regulations because of the pictures; they are very attractive. I have cooked for a long, long time and I do know my way around my kitchen. I'm wondering if anyone really baked these cakes and made the frostings, each and every one, to see if the recipes work. I followed directions to the exact specs and the results were not celebrated...I was expecting something spectacular with lots and lots of GOOD TASTE! The lemon-filled coconut cake, for prototype, is pitiful. I think the ingredients are wrong: when making "fluffy white frosting", it seems that only light corn syrup OR cream of tartar would be required and there is no way this gear needs to be beaten for 16 minutes! I think the "Lemon Curd" is missing an ingredient; seems like there should be a thickening agency, like cornstarch for this stuff to set up -- it did not. I did not expect to have soup for the cake filling. Beautiful looking cakes are exacting, but in my world, the cakes ABSOLUTELY MUST taste good and these do not and I'm not really interested in proving out each recipe. I'm really miserable to have purchased the book...
A well written and photographed cookbook that brings the most simplified Southern cakes to the modern kitchen
I grew up in North Carolina surrounded by relations members and friends that loved to cook. Cakes were for special occasions like birthdays, kinsfolk gatherings, holidays, and church events.
The dessert table at a church dinner on the grounds was a pretty and much anticipated site. Everyone knew who made the best cakes, and these cooks were expected to bring their specialties. At the church I attended as a skimpy girl, there was an annual Harvest pig picking/dinner on the grounds along with an auction to raise money for numerous church projects. Along with quilts made by a quilting bee that met in the fellowship hall, miscellaneous crafts and other items, there was always a record of the most luscious pies, banana pudding, and glorious cakes to be auctioned off. The cakes were a big seller.
I warmth all things culinary, but I have a deep love and interest in Southern foods, especially the cakes. I have several old cookbooks that detail the report of different cakes with Southern roots.
This cookbook is one of my favorites. The recipes are easy to follow and there is a portion on basic cake baking instructions so even the inexperienced baker will have success with these recipes. The classic Southern layer cakes and pounding cakes are included as well as more everyday cakes like Mississippi Mud, apple, pear, Louisiana syrup and Ocracoke Archipelago fig. Coconut cake has a dedicated chapter since it is such a Southern tradition and favorite and has so many different versions. There is also an added chapter on frostings, icings and fillings on top of the versions included in many of the cake recipes.
If I could only have *one* cookbook of Southern cakes, I would decide this one. The recipes are historically accurate, and whatever Southern cake you can think of is included, from Lady Baltimore, Charleston's Huguenot Torte, New Orlean's Doberge, and Ozark Pudding. The excellent pound cake is eerily similar to my Great Aunt Maggie's award winning secret recipe. I can't postponed to make all of' my family and friends' favorites from this cookbook.

These recipes aren't upright -- don't be fooled by the pictures
I've cooked a lot of cakes in my day, and I have never had such unfailingly bad luck with recipes as I have with pretty much every single recipe -- from cake to frostings -- that I have used from this book. I bought it for the swell pictures, but the recipes were awful, time after time.

When our electricity was out the day before Christmas and the warmest spot in the house was by the wood burner, I unquestionable to tackle my Mother’s recipe box. That recipe box was about the only thing I received from her estate because I wasn’t going to participate in what appeared was prevalent to be a vulture attack. You know how that goes if you have ever been involved in settling your parent’s estate. My mother faithfully watched what purposes was the first cooking show on television and she faithfully copied down the recipe of the day. She amazed me because she only went to the sixth grade and was surrounded by Italian-speaking immigrants growing up, yet her spelling and calligraphy were excellent. I was a high school freshman and taking my first session of typing and was awful at it but my mother asked me to typewrite her recipes on cards. I did a horrid job but never threw away her hand-written ones. Oh yes, the cooking show was
