I am from Collingswood.Does anyone remember the LaRitz bakery in our town?They had wonderful cheese sticks. The Delaware Valley was[and still is]noted for their grand bakeries. My mother was reared in Tacony,and always talked of the George Washington cakes baked in Philly. Food is as much a part of "fleshing out" our ancestors as finding their deeds,birth and death certificates as far as I am concerned.

Wow, George Washington Cake. That was a real favorite of my childhood. Every summer we visited my grandmother, Camilla Happold, in South Philly. She lived next door to and worked at Kessler's Bakery. The Kessler's were German and they had some of the best food. George Washington cake was a favorite of mine along with the cheese cake, little lemon pies and snow flake rolls. I was born there but raised in Florida. Chris MAY YOU ALWAYS WALK WITH ANGELS

http://www.post-gazette.com/food/20020328mailbo0328fnp1.asp Philadelphia German Butter Cake 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup solid shortening, butter-flavored 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 1 envelope active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm milk (105 to 115 degrees) 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon vanilla Butter Cake Topping (recipe follows) Mix sugar with shortening and salt; add egg and beat with mixer about 1 minute until well-blended. Dissolve yeast in warm milk. Add flour, then milk/yeast mixture and vanilla to dough batter. Mix 3 minutes with dough hook or by hand. Turn dough onto floured board and knead for 1 minute. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel, and set aside in a warm place to rise for one hour or until doubled. Meanwhile, prepare topping and set aside. Divide dough in two, roll or pat to fit two well-greased 8-inch square pans. Or fit all the dough in one 9-by-13-by-2-inch greased pan. Crimp edges halfway up sides of pan to hold topping in. When dough is spread, prick lightly with a fork to prevent bubbling. Spread topping over dough. Let cakes or cake stand 20 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. Do not overbake. Topping should be crusty but gooey. Let cool before cutting. 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter 2/3 cup flour 2 cups extra-fine sugar 2 extra large eggs 4 to 5 tablespoons milk Butter Cake Topping Cream butter. Stir together flour and sugar. Gradually beat sugar mixture into butter. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. By the teaspoon, add just enough milk to bring mixture to a consistency for easy spreading over the cake, being careful not to make it too runny. Use as directed in recipe for Butter Cake. Note: We used all 5 tablespoons of milk. Note: Our cake was ready in about 25 minutes.
