With no lingering style of the vinegar that’s added, it’s gentle and fruity, with a tender crumbly texture. Nevertheless, “Vinegar desserts” weren’t simply widespread in the course of the wartime period – utilizing vinegar in cake making was countrywide observe when the hens “had been off lay”.

She got here from Swaffham in Norfolk, and the opposite identify for this Wartime Eggless Fruit Cake (Vinegar Cake) is Norfolk Vinegar Cake, because it was very fashionable on this English county. Nofolk is a really rural county, and my grandmother’s household owned a smallholding, the place they reared and stored rabbits, goats, chickens, geese and geese.
