Notes

  • This is served at high tea in England - a very highly prixed receipe shared only in the family

Modern Notes

  • By “done with tester”, I assume she meant until a toothpick or possibly a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean – David S
  • It’s unclear to me whether she meant to use the syrup Maraschino Cherries are sold in, the liquer Maraschino cherries would have been sold in at the time of the purported original of this recipe, or actual cherry juice. I made it with actual Cherry juice for the image on this recipe. – David S
