"This cake was served to Lincoln and Douglas during one of the stops on their debate. It is from a very old calender style cookbook of cakes. The entry starts "This cake was served to these two gentlemen after the debate with some homemade wine on the veranda of the authors grandfather's home [Jacob J Oyler] in Freeport Ill. The cake was made especially for the occasion by his daughter Miss Caroline Oyler." While the author included many frosting's and icings, she did not include any ice cream frosting recipe but i found one"
