Most of these are on the forum. That cake was her cake ans supposedly Lincoln's favorite. I will bring up the thread.

Thanks for adding. Always great foods from that era.

I figured nothing new here, just thought I would share anyway. I am glad that the recipes are mostly authentic!!! I'll have to try some soon. Particularly Mrs Lincolns delicious looking white cake recipe.
