释义 | Lady BaltimoreUS noun (More fully Lady Baltimore cake) a light-textured white layer cake, traditionally iced and with a filling containing pecans, dried fruit, etc.
OriginLate 19th century; earliest use found in The Ladies' Home Journal. Apparently either directly from the title of Lady Baltimore, wife of George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore, the founder of Maryland, or from the name of the Lady Baltimore Tea Room in Charleston, South Carolina, where such a cake may first have been made (although the shop may alternatively have been named after the cake). |
