history of different foods

In the spirit of sticking to what my blog is about,i will start off with the history of different foods....i hope to post a history of a different food everyday!!!Today i will start with cake because that is what im craving as i write this post!!!!The most common cakes especially back home in kenya are blackforest and chocolate fudge cake.I dont know if its just me but we like sticking to what we know and don't experiment that much.On one of my siblings birthdays i got the chance to taste an ice cream cake....it was DIVINE!!!!!!
The idea of ice cream and cake evolved from Renaissance-era where people had desserts composed of cream and biscuits. These were called trifles. These fancy desserts were enjoyed by middle class and wealthy people. The difference? Freezing technique. Victorians prided themselves on fancy ice cream "bombes" (ice cream molded into special shapes). A survey of old cookbooks confirms biscuits (Savoy, sponge) were sometimes used to line the mold that held the ice cream. Voila! Ice cream cake!!!(www.ehow.com)
So the next time your out to buy cake,why dont you try and have a slice of ice cream cake....i am sure u will love it as much as i did!!!!i hope the picture i have uploaded will inspire you to go out and get a slice.....:)
