05 Decemebr 1865 - SLAVERY IS ABOLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES: Eight
months after the end of the Civil War, the 13th amendment is ratified
by the required number of states, abolishing slavery in the US. Its
passage was secured after intense lobbying by President Abraham Lincoln,
whose Emancipation Proclamation had declared slaves free, but their
status after the war was still uncertain.

MMMMM---------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
2 c (240 g) unbleached A-P flour
1/2 c (99 g) granulated sugar
1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Baking powder
4 tb (57 g) butter; softened
1 lg Egg
1/2 c (113 g) milk
1/2 ts Almond extract
1 ts Pure banilla extract
1 ts Lemon zest; grated rind
2 c (340 g) blueberries
Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
Lightly grease (or line with parchment) a 9" square pan.
TO MAKE THE STREUSEL: In a medium bowl, stir together
the sugars, salt, flour, and spices.
Work in the cold butter until the mixture is evenly
crumbly, then stir in the chopped walnuts. Set aside.
TO MAKE THE CAKE: In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand
mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and baking
powder.
Cut the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl of
dry ingredients. Beat at low speed until the mixture is
sandy looking.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk,
extracts, and lemon zest. Add the liquid ingredients to
the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Note: the
batter will be very thick.
Using a spatula, carefully fold the blueberries into
the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, gently spreading
it evenly across the bottom.
Sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter, shaking
the pan to distribute it evenly.
Bake the cake for 45 to 50 minutes, until it's brown on
top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool to
room temperature, right in the pan, before serving.
STORAGE INFORMATION: Store any leftover cake at room
temperature, covered, for up to a week. Freeze for
longer storage.
