What does washington pie mean?
- Washington pie
- Washington pie is, despite its name, a cake found in American cuisine. Its said to be a likely origin of the classic Boston cream pie. The earlier Washington pie was a sandwich cake of two yellow sponge layers filled with jam and dusted with powdered sugar, later evolving into the better known chocolate-covered pastry cream filled version. Raspberry jam was a common choice, though any type of jelly could be used. Additional flavorings like kirsch or rosewater could be added. Some modern variations use a vanilla cream filling topped with cherry pie filling and whipped cream. The sugar can be sprinkled using a lace doily to create a decorative pattern.There was another form Washington pie, closer to a true pie, but filled with pieces of stale and leftover cake moistened with cream, and raisins and spices. It's been described as a "nefarious fraud", but was served at elegant hotels and boarding houses in the Northeastern United States, more commonly than other pies, and it was also sold in quantity by bakers. Its popularity eventually wanted during the American Civil War when it started to be sold at coffee stands and other establishments around docks and railroad depots, because "certain bakers, in their efforts to produce great quantities of it, were not so very careful as to what it was composed of. Some bakers got to making it out of stale bread and the like".In 1904 it was a recommended dessert for a Fourth of July luncheon.
