SHEEP WAGON CAKE (CARROT CAKE)



Sheep Wagon Cake (Carrot Cake) image

An unusual name but cannot be changing a name of a recipe that has withstood the test of time! This cake was one made by pioneers and carried across the country in covered wagons. The recipe is well over a hundred years old. Years back I was gifted with a pan containing this delightful loaf along with the recipe which had been printed in the 'Fort Times.(Anne's Kitchen) We so enjoyed that we now make it every Christmas. It is a hit on the holiday tray ... guests enjoy the cake as well as the pioneer story that goes with it.NOTE January 2010- love to go through my community cookbooks, today reading through Anne Davie's 'Fifty- Five Years in Anne's Kitchen' much to my surprise find this recipe is far older than I had thought - over 200 years old! Be it in her lovely century old farm house or in her town home, Anne is a most gracious lady who shares her recipes, serves up awesome goodies at coffee time, as well as sharing her lovely gardens. A great loaf to serve any time of the year - at our house it has become one of our Christmas traditions in the making - thank you Anne!

Time 2h25m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/3 cups sugar
1 1/3 cups water
1 1/3 cups finely grated carrots
1 cup raisins, washed and drained
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon clove
1 cup chopped nuts (for Christmas I use 1/2 cup nuts and 1 cup glazed fruit)
2 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 teaspoon salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • In mid sized sauce pan, put sugar, water, carrots, raisins, butter and spices, bring to boil turn down and simmer five minutes.
  • Remove from heat, cover and rest for 12 hours, Comment on the recipe "the secret of this cake is to let the boiled ingredients stand for twelve hours" I have always followed this step.
  • Then add the baking soda mixing to dissolve, add the flour, salt and baking powder. Lastly fold in the nuts (if you decide to also add the glazed fruit as I do for the holidays, fold these in as well).
  • Put the batter into two well greased loaf pans or 1 tube pan -- (as with many of the old recipes I use my judgement on the loaf pans) Have used the 8 1/2 x 4 x 2 1/2. One friend makes these for gifts using a number of small sized loaf pans. I would think it depends on the size loaf you are wanting.
  • Bake 275 for 2 hours. This may vary from oven to oven.
  • Cool and wrap -- I like to leave this one mellow a few days before using. Keeps well. Yield depends on serving size but should make for 10 to 12 servings.

SHEET-PAN PANCAKES



Sheet-Pan Pancakes image

Last year, when it seemed like the whole world was cooking from scratch and tending to sourdough starters, Ree Drummond had other ideas: She gave herself permission to chill out and take some shortcuts. Her seventh cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Super Easy!, reflects her current zero-stress attitude in the kitchen. "It was really fun developing the recipes," Ree says. "I'd made many of them on my show during quarantine, and to me it was a creative challenge to strike a balance between home cooking and convenience cooking." These sheet-pan pancakes, for example, save her from having to babysit individual pancakes on a griddle. They also include a triple whammy of toppings - strawberries, blueberries and chocolate chips - so everyone in the family is happy. What's the Pioneer Woman's favorite of the three? "Yes to all!" she says.
