With the advent of the movie A Quiet Passion, Emily Dickinson has come to the fore of public consciousness. I had never previously heard of Emily and her poetry (it wasn't part of our English curriculum), so I am grateful for the movie making me aware of Emily and her work.
I was really excited to discover that Emily was a passionate baker. Hooray! A kindred spirit. There are a number of her baking recipes floating around online. The recipe for black cake contains 19 eggs and feeds 60!
I decided to make Emily's more modest coconut cake. You can find the recipe online here.

This looks great but I'm really intrigued by the black cake! :D I must look that up!
ReplyDeleteI confess to not reading much of Emily Dickinson, although I do know her (but didn't know about the movie). The cake sounds delicious though!
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious and I have to make it. Coconut love for sure! We read some Emily Dickinson's works in school and am familiar with her, but not her recipes, etc. Thanks for sharing!
