14 July 1921 - ITALIAN ANARCHISTS FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER: The robbery of
a Massachusetts shoe company resulted in the shooting death of two
employees, and two Italian-born anarchists are now found guilty of the
murders. Despite much controversy over the trial, and a growing belief
in their innocence, Sacco and Vanzetti will be executed six years later.

But the case against them was hardly clear-cut; much of the evidence was
circumstantial at best. As the story of these two possibly wrongfully
convicted men spread, many of the world's most powerful and respected
thinkers joined in the cause celebres to protest their conviction.

      Title: Anarchy Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Fruits, Desserts
      Yield: 7 Servings
 
  1 1/2 c  Fruit; sliced if using
           - peaches, apricots, or
           - plums (neatness does not
           - count); if using cherries,
           - pit them
           +=OR=+
      4 oz Chop'd bittersweet chocolate
    3/4 c  Cake or pastry flour; (A-P
           - flour works in a pinch)
    3/4 ts Baking powder
        pn Salt
      1 lg Egg
    1/2 c  Superfine sugar; + 2 tb
    1/4 ts Fine grated lemon zest
    1/4 c  Extra-virgin olive oil
    1/4 c  Milk
    1/2 ts Balsamic vinegar
 
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Line bottom of a 10" diameter springform pan with
  parchment paper, brush with oil, and lightly flour.
  
  Gently toss prepared fruit with 1 tablespoon of sugar
  and set aside. (If using chocolate, do not toss it with
  the sugar, just put aside until needed.)
  
  Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and
  set aside.
  
  Using an electric mixer, beat the egg with the 1/2 cup
  of superfine sugar and lemon zest until light, fluffy,
  and pale in color. This could take as long as 5 minutes.
  
  Add the olive oil, then the milk and balsamic vinegar,
  beating until fully combined.
  
  Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour mixture.
  
  Pour batter into the prepared springform pan and drop
  the sliced fruit over the top. Sprinkle with a
  tablespoon of sugar.
  
  Bake for 50 minutes, until the top is a beautiful golden
  brown. A knife blade inserted into the cake’s center
  should come out clean.
  
  Makes 6 to 8 servings
