The Dolly Varden is a pretty cake which would be appropriate for company, while also not being too difficult to make. A single cake batter is mixed up then divided, and spices and dried fruit are stirred into one half of the batter.
As part of our historical recipe project, our Assistant Manager of Communications Caitlin Coleman brought in Dolly Varden cake! Dolly Varden is a Charles Dickens character from his historical novel, Barnaby Rudge , which was set during eighteenth century anti-Catholic riots in London.
This time it was a Dolly Varden cake for Holly’s second birthday. Not only was it a Dolly Varden cake, but it was a Dolly Varden Cinderella cake.
The novel was never one of Dickens’ big hits but the character Dolly, a young, charming and fashionable girl, became incredibly popular.
