1923 Borden Apple Cake Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen And Friends Cooking How To Make Apple Cake

[@GlenAndFriendsCooking]

Thanks for watching Everyone! *What’s your favourite Apple Cake?* As always the recipe is in the description box.

[@asilverfoxintasmania9940]

I have an applesauce spice cake/bread that is my absolute favorite. I often vary the spices in it and depending on what apples are available that too changes the flavour. The applesauce I make myself and the apples in that get roasted which is just amazing.

[@cbartlett]

Russian sharlotka is a real classic that is a favorite in our house.

[@f.n.schlub2269]

Glen, however much that book may have been loved, the real problem is that Borden went the cheap route and printed the book on an unprocessed wood pulp. The book is acid-burning itself into dust. Photocopy it ... soon.

[@exchangestudent2]

Paula Deens grandgirls apple cake is my favorite apple cake. Ooh but the best from her is ooey gooey butter cake.

[@vittoriagnecchi5783]

Is a Strudel a cake? Maybe it's just a vehicle to eat yummy macerated cooked fruit : )

[@erikastoddert2655]

Ooh, first comment! Can't wait to watch! Is anyone else old enough to remember Elsie the cow ads for Borden? Looks yummy. Loved the 1st whipped cream attempt!

[@gardengatesopen]

I remember Elsie! I also remember having a milk man. How nice that would be NOW!!! He brought our dairy order to the front door twice a week. And I'm not really all that old!! It was always exciting when our milk order arrived bcuz us kids never knew if mom had ordered the ice cream bars - (She refused to tell us!). Weren't they called Elsie Bars? Or am I just making that up??! Or were they called Nifty Bars? It was just like today's Dove Bar w the vanilla ice cream covered in a thin layer of crisp chocolate. Soooo yummy!! The ice cream bars from Borden had plastic sticks with holes in them, so after you ate your ice cream you collected them, then you could build stuff with them. Great memories!! ❤

[@paulasimson4939]

I had an Elsie the Cow stuffed toy when I was a little girl - loved it!

[@joantrotter3005]

@@gardengatesopen , I'm in my 50s, and my parents had a milk man until maybe 15 or 20 years ago? The milk box on the front porch, but he often brought it in the kitchen. The one when I was little, I think his name was Kenji? If my Mom had made banana bread or plum coffee cake, he was always offered some.

Me too!

[@thomasw3285]

Agreed, though it was a let down to learn this wasn't written by Lizzie Borden. I bet she would have chopped up those apples in no time.

[@elroymartyn8429]

Evaporated milk also has it's own distinct flavour!

[@kondition-kode-nine]

Yes it does. And condensed milk is again something so different. How come? I need to research how milk processing is done!

[@RB-ib3mo]

Fresh unpasteurised cow juice is the best, I love it.

[@laerin7931]

@@kondition-kode-nine Well, evaporated milk has a different flavour because it's heated, which causes some of the sugars in milk to caramelize. Condensed milk is the same, but it also has a lot of sugar added into it.

[@TamarLitvot]

Yes! Thank you! There are times when evaporated milk is what’s needed. My mother made hot cocoa with evaporated milk (and some water added) and I just loved that flavor!

[@alexlail7481]

The cake sounds good as is, but Julie's idea of cinnamon sounds like a great next step. With the evaporated milk you could sub apple juice for the water and probably have a killer apple pie cake...🙂😊

[@alexlail7481]

Glen, you're probably already aware of this but there's some old cookbooks in the Gutenberg Project online library. Not the same, I know, but a nice resource nevertheless. Should also be interesting for all viewers who like to peruse old recipes. I even found some dutch ones in there =D

How pleasant it is to watch your "archeological" interpretation of a recipe from the 1920s ... That's remind me my great grandmother born in 1896!

[@mesummika569]

I want to give a shout-out to all the folks that have trusted Glen with something so precious and a part of the history of our world. We all share something in common around the world and that is some type of comfort through what we eat. And to you Glen and Jules as well, you share with the rest of us something given to you as well. With your kind heart and the love of what you are doing it shows in all the streams, I have seen. Plus the knowledge you have gained with research and cooking. It has sparked so much in all of us I would venture to say. Either in learning some type of history or just another take on something our families might have shared at the dinner table while telling of a long day. So thank you very much.

[@jdniedner]

I love dosing my whipped cream with flavor. Vanilla is a classic, but I've tried and enjoy: Cinnamon Dark rum Maple Cocoa

[@floief]

This reminds me of a cake I used to make for the kids when I was pushed for time. I put the fruit on the bottom and poured the cake batter on top and baked it at 325-350 for about 45 minutes, served it warm, in dessert bowls with a little cream poured over. I'm going to try this one for sure. Thanks, Glen

[@anthonymccarthy4164]

I like your videos, while listening to this one I realized I've been listening to yours longer and/or more consistently than those of any other KZbin cook. I believe I came here looking for another variation on bannock, though I can't remember.

[@rabidsamfan]

Evaporated, powdered, or shelf stable milk are all good donations for food banks. Now you have me thinking that I should include some recipes too.

[@asilverfoxintasmania9940]

Julie's giggle is delightful! I think a bit of extra cinnamon added into the batter and the cinnamon sugar on top sounds delicious!

It's such great book.

[@ackulakan]

I remember, just a few times in my life so far, where my family got some milk and the cow, assumedly, got into something it shouldn't have. Probably wild onions.

[@kondition-kode-nine]

Best Before dates are there to be challenged by good sense. A tin can be perfectly safe for a year or several if not blown or damaged. "Safety' has become an irrational fear before good sense and experience and knowledge. Which are things many people today sadly lack. Notwithstanding, sounds like a great cake, and I will so do it, thanks.

[@cynthiamorton3583]

“Best before” does not necessarily mean “deadly after”!

[@ubombogirl]

looks yum-e! love the sweater, julie!!!! btw, since it says egg not eggs i, too, would think it means only 1. btw, i keep the long shelf life milk on hand for hurricane season and have had it during this pandemic just in case i can't get out...great resource.

When she jumped I jumped. I was not expecting that lol.

[@brenthooton3412]

Love the cinnamon sugar TV magic at 6:25. Cinnamon + apples = I gotta try this.

[@nitrampd]

I remember seeing tetra-pack milk in Ontario grocery stores about 40 years ago. It was great for camping.

[@Dottie1039]

We use it in Europe in 1 liter cartons and it is used in 250ml(8 ounce) packaging for the kiddie- sized lunchpaks. We only refridgerate the milk after we open them up. AS a transplanted American, I was afraid at first to drink milk at room temperature....but it is stable and when cold it tastes fresh! Takes up a lot less space in the smaller refrigerators which we use here in Portugal.

[@janetc5605]

My mom made a recipe similar to this. She put the apples on the bottom, put lots of cinnamon on the apples, then poured the batter over the top. She served it with a simple warm lemon sauce made with sugar, lemon juice and a little corn starch. I liked the sauce the best. She called it apple pudding. My mom always baked with evaporated milk. Shelf stable and even after opening took virtually no room in the refrigerator. With 5 kids and mid century refrigerators, the small form factor was important for somebody who baked 5-6 days a week. As it was, the fridge was always packed.

[@ElizabethNorth]

I needed a larger amount for a family event. Since I was making two, I did one with evaporated milk + water and one with whole milk. The evaporated milk version was moister, so the recipe is best as it is written. Thanks, Mrs. McBride and thanks, Glen.

[@robertkordingjr8835]

I still use evaporated milk when camping.

[@mynameis999]

We always keep a can of “emergency milk” , as it’s a terrible morning if there is zero milk left for coffee/tea. 😲

[@jamesellsworth9673]

RIGHT! The texture of my cakes is better when I finish incorporating the butter with my cool fingertips! I also have a cookbook that has fallen apart a few years ago, due to frequent use. Evaporated milk was a boon to rural families that did not have cows 'back in the day.' For me, the caramelized flavor worked better in desserts than in anything else.

[@chriswarder6016]

I grew up about 15 miles from Clarksburg! It's such a small place, I never expect to run across it randomly on the internet. If life ever gets back to normal and If you're ever in the area, I recommend getting a Pepperoni Roll from Home Industry Bakery, and grabbing a meal at Julio's. The WV Italian Heritage Festival takes place there every Labor Day. Lots of good food. That cake looks like it would be a hit at one of my family reunions. I'll have to give it a try. Love the series, thanks for sharing Glen!

there's something very comforting about an apple cake..might have to veganize this one...maybe raisins in the batter?..good one

[@lisacraze1]

I've recently "discovered" evaporated milk and now put it in my morning coffee. Looking for more recipes using this product so I can figure out what else to do with the stuff. (Grocery Outlet frequently has evaporated milk at a really good price)

[@DuelScreen]

It takes the place of dairy so I know about it from dessert recipes like Seven Layer Cookies. It makes a pretty good Macaroni and Cheese too. Never thought about adding it to coffee but that makes sense.

[@bluefirexde]

Putting evaporated milk into coffee is pretty normal in my family, but I've never been a fan of it. I just use regular milk.

[@shabbesgoj]

In Germany we call evaporated milk "kaffeesahne" which means coffee cream. We only use it in coffee.

[@Default78334]

Evaporated milk the standard for making Hong Kong-style milk tea.

[@nancylindsay4255]

Yup -- when the bowl is too small to whisk the contents vigorously, twirl the whisk between your hands to get some good mixing action.

[@ubombogirl]

soooo...it's all about making it your own and using what you have...i made this today...well, sort of...added a little vanilla, used no cinnamon, exchanged the apples for some cherry pie filling...and did it gluten free...i think it turned out pretty yum-e...so did the neighbor guy! lol

[@radicalanddangerous]

About the 'Pull Date' on the condensed milk; I spent over 40 years in the retail grocery business. I remember when products didn't have 'pull dates'. Oh here were codes that the milk man could read and such but not for the general public. As you said, the can said 'Best By March 2021' Not Rotten AT March 2021. The pull dates are just a guide. Many, many times, I'd open a box of newly delivered packaged salads that were pull dated 10-12 days away and right in the middle of the box would be one bag, totally rusted and sometimes having rusty liquid in the bag. Again the dates are just a guide.

Yesss, you know I’m going to make this today because it looks so simple yet delicious.

(It’s almost like a hobby for me know taking notes on what’s in low supply & replenishing for myself & my grams& great grams) Needless to say evaporated milk is always among the supplies. Perhaps in my grams case evaporated milk was just a backup if fresh milk was in low supply, there are many recipes my great grams prefers to use evaporated milk. It’s a suggestion, during these times to indeed keep a few cans on a pantry self. Thank you so much once more for another recipes I just know will be a staple among my recipes. 💖💖💖💖

I made this over the weekend, I did change it a little. I doubled the sugar and put apples & cinnamon in the batter. I doubled the sugar based on your comments about the lack of sweetness. Even with doubling the sugar, it was not sweet at all, so I think I would quadruple the sugar. We really enjoyed it, will make again some point.

Since we, as a family, are not big milk drinkers; we actually buy the shelf stabilized milk and keep it on hand. It mostly has a 1 year shelf life; so we always have milk on hand for when we need it; and then have to come up with a use for it within 7 days. Around here, 1 quart of the shelf stable sells for $1 US, while a quart of fresh is almost $2 US and we are, ironically, surrounded by the dairy herds that supply the fresh.

Hi, Remember, Borden was a dairy company that sold milk and other related dairy products. By the way my Grand parents made this cake and would use different fruits based on the season. Cherry and peach was my fav.

[@MoYvStarkey]

I've talked to old midwives who believed PET milk was the best to use as enfant formula. That goes for Carnation too. My experience with condensed and evaporated milk was when we lived in Alaska. Fresh milk was outrageously expensive so we bought big cans of evaporated milk. It was safer and storable. We were stationed at Fort Richardson just a week after the Good Friday earthquake. Milk in cans was a life saver.

[@grou67]

Hi Glen ! The sugar makes it a chantilly (8 to 10%) ;) Keep cooking !

[@libertymicrofarm6032]

I find it funny that in European countries or the UK they call it chantilly cream when here in the US it’s just our normal whipping cream

[@kck9742]

Great episode -- I could totally make this. I like the idea that another commenter had of substituting apple juice in place of water (and adding the cinnamon sugar to the batter as Julie suggested). And I love that contraption that you used to make the homemade whipped cream... think I need that in my life. :-)

[@patmos68]

Did you remember to shake the milk can to mix it, that may be why it was, gluppy?

[@IMJwhoRU]

I also wondered about adding the cinnamon to the batter, chopping the apples and folding them in. Also, it just popped into my head to mix the evaporated (condensed) milk with apple cider/juice instead of water for more apple flavor in the cake.
