Almost Eureka!  In the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper on July 2, 2003, 
there was an article in the Food Section highlighting the "old" head baker fromt 
Hough Bakeries!  His name is Archie Garner and he has his own bakery now where 
he is using the old Hough Bakery recipes.  He is trying to get permission to 
use the Hough Bakery name for promition, but so far, has been unsuccessful.  In 
the meantime, he is making cakes and selling them at 14906 Lakeshore 
Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio, phone: 216-481-4188.  Hope your readers will enjoy the 
info.  It was the best bakery!!!!  Linda
P.S.  I'll see if I can pull up the article on the internet and email it to 
you.  
 

Thanks Linda! The article is at:

  Dear Phaedrus,

  My German mother-in-law was tight with her recipes. We were able to piece together several 
  after she passed but  we never got the ingredients of her Sour Soup.  Or zour zuppe as she 
  called it.  There was ham, onions, probably vinegar and maybe buttermilk.  Do you think you 
  can help us out with this.  Her sons would love to have a bowl of that again.

  Thanks

Arabian Ribbon Cake Filling

Subject: Arabian Ribbon Cake Filling info, also an icing for this cake

Dear Phaedrus, my MIL recently gave me her mother's old recipe cards, from
the '30/40's, and this was evidently a favorite cake, the recipe is almost
unreadable, its so worn!

There is a fruit filling that goes between the layers, hers calls for the
baking of three separate layers, I can't imagine how you'd do this cake in a
bundt pan....this might have been an "updated" 60's or 70's version, when
bundt pans were the "thing".

Anyway, here goes:

Arabian Ribbon Cake, Fruit Medley Filling

This version calls for water, you could of course sub in orange juice, for
extra flavor.

1 cup water
2 tbs butter
dash salt
1 cup raisins
1 cup figs
1/2 cups dates

Boil slowly 6-8 minutes, or until thick enough to spread, stir constantly.
Cool, add 1 TBS lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp lemon rind.  Spread evenly between
layers.

The white layer of the cake would go in between the two dark layers

This makes a HUGE cake...here is the frosting she used, tart to offset the
sweetness...

Tart Lemon Frosting

Cream together 1 tsp grated lemon rind, 4 TBS butter.  Add gradually, 3 cups
sifted confectioners' sugar, alternately with 3 TBS  lemon juice, beat
thoroughly after each addition, add a dash of salt.  Frost top and sides of
cake, sprinkle grated lemon peel on top of cake.

Even though this particular filling doesn't mention nuts, things like this
are up to the baker, the nuts would also cut down on the sweetness factor,
I'd just subsitute for one of the fruits.

Hope that helps a little!

Laura  

Thanks, Laura!
