NOTES : I got this recipe from the Civil War Cookbook by William C. Davis.
It said this before the recipe. “As the war progressed and many
items became scarce, cakes were often only made for holida
ys and special occasions. The extravagant (by Civil War
standards) recipe below using nine eggs and brandy, is typical of
cakes baked in the most affluent of homes for a homecoming or
wedding party.
