I read somewhere that if something starts out moist and gets dry with time, then it's a cake; if it starts out dry, and gets moist with time, then it's a biscuit. Also, happy birthday!
I LOVE moon cakes. They have beautiful golden brown designs on the top and fluted edges typically. The inside is filled with a dense, rich, sweet bean paste. I know eating a sweet bean paste is weird to many westerners, but nothing about the bean paste is savory. It’s like red bean paste or mung bean paste. Sometimes the moon cake has a salted egg yolk in the middle. The yolk is not runny or wet, it’s similar in texture to the bean paste. The combination of yolk and bean paste is salty sweet and yummy. Not to mention the bright yellow yolk looks beautiful against the red bean and pastry. This cake goes well with a sip of unsweetened green or oolong tea between bites.
Happy birthday! And there's always Pound Cake, which is really more of a loaf than a cake, but it's alleged to have gotten its name because its ingredients include a pound each of the cake trinity -- butter, sugar, and flour. It looks a lot like the Madeira cake, but I don't think they're the same. BTW, the Depression Cake recipe you posted did include sugar, although the original cup and a half was marked down in a handwritten note to half a cup. Also, in the U.S., this would have been a recipe for city folk. People who lived in rural areas on farms would have still had free access to eggs, milk, and butter because they grew their own.
Happy womb escape, matey! If I could share a cake today with you, I'd like to serve you some legitimate Brazilian Souza Leão's Cake. IDK exactly who Souza Leão was (some aristocrat from colonial times), but it is a historical middle finger to the court in Portugal who tried to have a monopoly on sugar here by simply creating a cake with 1.5kg (3 pound-ish) of cane sugar in the recipe.
Battenburg cake is known as "Dr Who" cake in my family. That's because we always seemed to eat it when Dr Who was on the telly and 5 year old me thought it was mandatory. Happy birthday Patrick!
An ad campaign some years ago for Fig Newtons (and the company’s spinoff cookies Strawberry and other Newtons), an endless ribbon of thick fruit jam, wrapped in a crumbly layer of cake, and cut into approximate squares with the jam exposed on each cut end, had skits in which a parent or other caregiver admonished a little boy not to eat cookies [American for British biscuits] before dinner. The boy replied, “A Newton is not a cookie. A Newton is fruit and cake.” A Jaffa could be described similarly.
@@aisling1551 To elaborate on this: According to QI, the company which makes Jaffa cakes demonstrated in court that their product indeed belongs in the cake category because it turns hard when it goes stale. Cakes go hard while biscuits/cookies go soft, apparently.
“The day after this video goes live will be my birthday, and then I’m taking the next week off to unwind and relax, etc..” “but then I carried on thinking about cake, and all the origins of the different cakes and how they got their names, and the meaning behind them.” Yep, that’s a fellow Virgo for you - (Sep 5) 🤗💕. *Side note - my birthday is September 7!* My friends and family always tell me how I’m trying to find out the origins of things all the time too lol. Happy Belated Birthday Virgo Bro 🥳🎂🎉🎊🎁🎈
Happy Birthday, Patrick!!! One cake/pastry/confection you missed explaining the name for is the Napoleon. I assume that it was named after the (in-)famous Corsican who took control of France in the post-Revolutionary period and declared himself emperor, but I'd like to know why.
Battenberg was the original name of the Mountbattens (Prince Phillip and his famous uncles), changed during WWI to sound less German, just like Saxe-Coburg and Gotha became Windsor.
Firstly: Happy Birthday Patrick Secondly: Jaffa = Haifa not Tel Aviv Thirdly: Jaffa cakes are cakes Just ask HMRC, who lost a famous court case on taxation on this matter. Cakes & plain biscuits were not subject to VAT, but chocolate biscuits were. When the UK government tried to get Jaffa Cakes taxed as biscuits, McVitties took them to court to prove they were cakes. Its one of the most interesting cases in UK taxation law.
Nope, Jaffa is part of Tel Aviv, as in Tel Aviv-Yafo. It's the Old Town that has been named since 1440 BCE, known then as Yapu (Greek-Latin: Joppa). Also mentioned as early as in the Book of Joshua (19;46). It's name was Arabized as Yafa, or Yaffa. In some transcriptions that would be Jaffa.
Happy Birthday and a swiss roll cake with a curious name in my country as a present. Swiss roll cake in Spanish are called "brazo de gitano" (literally "gipsy's arm", yes they have a slur in the name, though in Spanish gitano often doesn't have that bad a connotation). And that weird name has two explanation, one having to do with Caló people (Spanish Romani by their proper name) and other with the origin of the name "gitano" itself. The first is that it was created by a Spanish monk while in Egypt, so it was a "brazo egiptiano" the adjective egiptiano in mosern Spanish turned into "gitano" and that's also why the term also exist in Spanish for the kaló, because people in the XVI thought that Kalo and Romani people came from Egypt. The other has to do with the XIX travelling Kalo merchants in Barcelona, who sold and fixed pots and pans for local pastry shops and when their work was particularly good, were rewarded with some free slices of swiss roll to take on the go, but because their hands were full with their wares, they took it on their arm and ate from there, so from that curious habit the cake began to be called "brazo de gitano".
Obligatory “not a lawyer but” I’ve worked with British VAT law a lot. The controversy about cake vs biscuit for Jaffa Cakes dates back to 1991 when McVities took HMRC to court over the right to be zero VAT rated on their biscuits, which they proved to the satisfaction of the judge were technically cakes (LON/91/0160). The crucial deciding factor being how Jaffa cakes go hard when they go stale, as do cakes, unlike biscuits which go soft when they go stale. This is important because cake of any description is considered an “essential food” item under law, and not subject to tax. Plain biscuits are also essential food, but biscuits that have a significant proportion of their surface coated in chocolate are considered to be non-essential, so subject to 20% added tax. By being zero VAT rated, Jaffa cakes were able to price themselves cheaper than other half coated chocolate biscuits, giving them a competitive price advantage. They are still one of the cheapest chocolate coated biscuits available today. Happy cake day! (Tax law can be fun, tax law also defined the meaning the meaning of “brothel” as well as the meaning of “cake”)
Happy birthday! I hope you enjoy your festivities and break from work. A type of cake from my home area is the shoo-fly cake. It seems particular to Pennsylvania in the US and specifically the Pennsylvania "Deutsche" community. Like a depression cake, it uses no eggs, only a bit of fat, and bakes up with a moist, tender crumb. The result is like a honey/molasses-cinnamon coffee cake. And now that you have me so excited about cake, I think I know what I'm making tomorrow.
According to QI, the company which makes Jaffa cakes demonstrated in court that their product indeed belongs in the cake category because it turns hard when it goes stale. Cakes go hard while biscuits/cookies go soft, apparently.
Happy Birthday! 🎂 For the next video on cake, I'd recommend the Guglhupf or bundt cake, which has a variety of different names depending on the region. And just - you know - German cake in general.
Depression cake was sometimes called Wacky cake in the U.S. It was the first cake I learned to bake, and my mom, who was born during the Depression, got the recipe from her mom (who must have gotten it from a magazine).
In swedish the word cake is devided into to different words and categories depending on what type of cake it is refering to. The first is kaka (which also refer to cookie/biscuit) which usually have no whipped cream on it or in layers, or the types typically served for fika (either just having a cup or coffee, tea time or just be out in a cafeteria or bakery having some pastery), such as sockerkaka (sponge/sugarcake), kladdkaka (mudcake), tigerkaka (tigercake, it's basically spongecake but with chocolate batter poured into the spongecake batter, making it look like tiger stripes when cut hence the name), Battenbergkaka (Battenberg cake that you mentioned), morotskaka (carrot cake) among others. The other term is tårta (coming from french torte), which is more for birthdays, celeberations or when you feel for something richer than just kaka, like jordgubbstårta (strawberry cake/strawberry short cake), cheese cake (which has the same name as the english version to distinguish it from ostkaka, which is more of a pudding than a cake, introduced by imigrating swedes and can be found in Minnesota where many have swedish ancestery, on a side note, swedes typically have a cakebottom made from digestive crackers rather than spongecake, though personally I prefer the latter), chokladtårta (chocolate cake but there is chokaldkaka as well, mudcake or other kinds of kaka), rulltårta (swiss roll, swiss roll cake, jelly roll, roll cake, cream roll or swiss log) and bröllopstårta (wedding cake). There is one type of tårta which is a not an actual cake but technically a big sandwich that looks like a cake, smörgåstårta (sandwich-cake or sandwich-torte) which is made of several layers of white or light rye bread with a creamy filling (typically mayonaise) and the base and filling can contain one or several of these: egg, liver pâté olives, shrimp, ham, cold cuts, caviar, tomatoes, cumber, grapes, lemon slices, cheese and smoked salmon. Even if many swedes disagree with me, this is not a real cake, it's a psuedo cake, that is served as an alternative to an ACTUAL cake/torte at parties which doesn't agree with my taste buds (I find totally distest it with a burning passion, it's just disgusting, nothing I personally recommend but hey who am I to stop from taste, just don't say I didn't warn you).
Happy Birthday! I'm thinking the "pick-me-up" quality of Tiramisu might have a lot to do with the espresso that the lady fingers are soaked in. Now that's a "cake" name: lady fingers. Where does that come form? And Black Forest Cake. That would be a good one, too.
Happy Birthday! Speaking of Better than sex Cake, it is the most frequently requested of all my potluck recipes. I especially get a kick out of making it for church events and telling everyone the name. 😆
Happy belated birthday! In the USA, Madeira cake is called "pound cake," because the recipe supposedly calls for a pound of butter, a pound of flour, a pound of sugar, and a pound of eggs. And Jaffa Cakes are cakes. This has been scientifically proven. 😉
Anyone who watches _The Great British Baking Show_ would call you out for missing the *Genoese* cake, though perhaps you ...ahem... _rolled_ it into your Sponge category.
an interesting name for a dessert commonly associated with birthday parties in Brazil is the "Brigadeiro", which means brigadier and as a dessert used on a brigadier's campaign for office (don't remember which position in office it was though)
I'm German and once a american friend asked me, if we could make some German cake together. I was asking slightly confused "Well, what kind of German cake do you mean in particular?" It came out that there's a cake in the U.S. called the german cake, that we in Germany have never heard of, because it doesn't have anything to do with Germany, just the guys name who invented it is Samuel German.
I accidentally made a Victoria cake - I was trying to make something with very little fat in it, and I made a plain sponge cake with just eggs and sugar, and sandwiched the layers with jam.
Devil's food cake was originally made with one or both of two variations. Brown sugar instead of white, which gave a darker color, plus extra flavor, and/or sour milk and baking soda to rise. Some old recipes call it "Black Joe Cake." That was an old name for the devil, which would not be acceptable now.
Because scientists are extremely creative about naming things. *grin* Uranium salts can form several very bright colors -- including a certain infamous red-orange glaze on FiestaWare table ceramics. The yellowcake stage of processing is, predictably, a usually-yellow solid isolated as a cake (also called a puck) on the filter.

Fun fact to the latter: there is a chocolate confectioner in Brussels called Laurent Gerbaud. Slightly different writing of the name, but it's funny and weird that he is also a confectioner.
Let me get this straight, you're a fellow Brit, you're talking about funny/interesting cakes and desserts and not once was Spotted Dick mentioned. I am so disappointed
I think you could make a video on cake, tart, biscuit, etc. And maybe track the same confusion in major languages, like French (gateau, galette, tarte), etc
In Sweden we have the tasty 'princesstårta' (princess cake) and the boring tasting but uniquely designed 'spettekaka' (pointy cake?). It would be nice to know where they got their names from.
McVities and the HMRC (UK Tax) actually went to court over the definition of Jaffa Cakes. As chocolate covered "biscuits" were liable for VAT as a luxury. The manufacturers won ,Jaffa Cakes are legally cakes .
I think the reason why devil's food cake is called that is because black and brown usually connotate as bad, evil, yang, which is all about the 'devil'. While angels food cake is white and that color usually represents pure, good, kindness, ying, which are characteristics of angels
I read somewhere that if something starts out moist and gets dry with time, then it's a cake; if it starts out dry, and gets moist with time, then it's a biscuit. Also, happy birthday!

Tomorrow
I've always wanted a moon cake, but instead I eat a Hostess moon pie on lunar new year lol
They’re very dense. Best split between a couple people and served with tea.
They aren't great Tbf
Rail Wall I like them. I wouldn’t eat them everyday.
Couldn’t the name tiramisu as “pick me up” also refer to the caffeine in the cake without the activities that followed the caffeine?
Happy birthday! And there's always Pound Cake, which is really more of a loaf than a cake, but it's alleged to have gotten its name because its ingredients include a pound each of the cake trinity -- butter, sugar, and flour. It looks a lot like the Madeira cake, but I don't think they're the same.

You didn’t mention it but damn do I want a German Chocolate Cake...
German chocolate cakes was invented in England . . . by a guy named German. 🤣
Devils food cake is just what it’s called when I make a cake
Happy early birthday by the way!

yes! cookie

Why is yellowcake (the stage of uranium processing) called that?
Because scientists are extremely creative about naming things. *grin* Uranium salts can form several very bright colors -- including a certain infamous red-orange glaze on FiestaWare table ceramics. The yellowcake stage of processing is, predictably, a usually-yellow solid isolated as a cake (also called a puck) on the filter.
Happy early birthday !
Happy belated birthday!
Happy Birthday!!! 🎈🎂🎉
PS:
Jaffa Cake is DEFINITELY a biscuit!
If you’re able to try the Better Than Sex Cake, it’s soooo good 😊
Happy upcoming birthday. Get yourself a variety of cakes!
There are two famous cakes in Hungary:
- the Dobos torte (Dobos torta), with the caramelized sugar icing, named after its creator József C. Dobos - his name translates to Drummer,
- just like Gerbeaud cake (zserbó (torta)), which was named after the Swiss-Hungarian confectioner Émile Gerbeaud - his name comes from the Germanic name Gerebold, and Garibaldi is an Italian version of it.
Fun fact to the latter: there is a chocolate confectioner in Brussels called Laurent Gerbaud. Slightly different writing of the name, but it's funny and weird that he is also a confectioner.
Let me get this straight, you're a fellow Brit, you're talking about funny/interesting cakes and desserts and not once was Spotted Dick mentioned. I am so disappointed
Here in Croatia we call jaffa cakes the equivalent of biscuit. Therefore I call it a biscuit.
I wish I was this excited for my birthday
Happy birthday Patrick 🎂
happy birthday!
Happy early birthday 🎂
Happy B-day!
Cake or biscuit? Neither. That's a cookie! And it does look tasty.
(Early) Happy Birthday Patrick! 😁🎂🎈
I think you could make a video on cake, tart, biscuit, etc.
And maybe track the same confusion in major languages, like French (gateau, galette, tarte), etc
Could be a collab with Tasting History.
In Sweden we have the tasty 'princesstårta' (princess cake) and the boring tasting but uniquely designed 'spettekaka' (pointy cake?). It would be nice to know where they got their names from.
Happy birthday, Patrick! Make it a good one! :)
Happy Cake Day!
Ever since seeing it on the Great British Bake Off, I really want to try a Vicoria Sponge cake but I've yet to make one
It's also my brother's birthday today :)
Happy Birthday! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
Happy Birthday :) .
Happy birthday :)
McVities and the HMRC (UK Tax) actually went to court over the definition of Jaffa Cakes. As chocolate covered "biscuits" were liable for VAT as a luxury.
The manufacturers won ,Jaffa Cakes are legally cakes .
Have a fun and safe birthday 🎂🥳
Happy birthday Patrick
Have you done a vid on the things the same, the names are different. Like British biscuits vs cookies in the states? Happy b-day BTW. 🎂🍾
I think the reason why devil's food cake is called that is because black and brown usually connotate as bad, evil, yang, which is all about the 'devil'. While angels food cake is white and that color usually represents pure, good, kindness, ying, which are characteristics of angels

Hope you have/had a great cake!
Happy birthday
