A loaf cake studded with chunks rests on a wire cooling rack, the grid that lets baked goods dry and cool evenly once they leave the pan. Wire racks were common kitchen equipment in American homes by the early 1900s, when loaf-shaped cakes baked in standard tins were a household staple. The chunks in the batter are the detail worth noticing, since they show how bakers folded bulkier ingredients into a plain cake. Filed under apples, the picture ties the baking to the fruit-and-kitchen theme that home cookbooks of the period often celebrated.
