Archaeologists have made an astonishing find, uncovering a nearly 80-year-old hazelnut and almond cake that became a 'heavily charred and blackened' after a British air raid hit a historic German city during World War II. The cake, which was still wrapped in wax paper, was discovered in a cellar by construction workers in the port city of Lübeck, according to a translated statement from Hansestadt Lübeck. In addition to the cake, other items were found, such as coffee service (consisting of plates, knives and spoons) and records. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-10120399/Heavily-charred-blackened-nut-cake-baked-World-War-II-preserved-German-town.html 1 Like 1 Share

The British Royal Air Force bombed the city in retaliation for the Nazi blitz of Coventry, England in 1940, according to Dirk Rieger, head of the Department of Archaeology for the Hanseatic City of Lübeck Historic Monuments Protection Authority. The cake was recently unwrapped when the Palm Sunday bombing started and everything collapsed into the building's cellar and buried Rieger told the news outlet. However, the cake was not crushed and it is 'currently the only pastry of its kind that has been archaeologically uncovered in northern Germany,' the statement added. 2 Likes

Experts Lisa Renn (left) and Doris Mührenberg (right) noted that the cake still has roughly the same shape as when it was baked.

It also has its nut filling and the sugar decorations are 'clearly visible' on the cake, according to the statement. 'Although it is heavily charred and blackened with soot on the outside,' Renn said, adding, 'the heat has shrunk to only a third of its original height.' The cake was burned during the air raid, which occurred between March 28 and 29. 1 Like

OK Me I just unearthed the Ijebu Garri that my grandmother was about to soak in 1967 before Gowon and his murderous soldiers struck. The Garri still has groundnut inside (similar to this cake). There's a little Ororo and salt. Overall its in a good condition. 5 Likes |
