Why is "chiffon pie" f[l]avored over "cream pie"? The former is
defined under "chiffon"; the latter I find only in quotations.
Menu, The Raymond, South Pasadena, California, Nov. 13, 1886. In
_Chocolate: History, Culture, and Heritage_ (John Wiley & Sons,
2009), Fig. 35.6 (page 52 of colored illustration insert).
Chocolate "Cream Pie." No entry in OED; antedates quotations 1904-.
"Sponge Drops." Nothing in OED. Fannie Farmer, _Original 1896
Boston Cooking-School Cook Book_ (reprint: Dover, 1997), p. 419:
"Sponge Drop. / Drop Lady Finger mixture from tip of spoon on
unbuttered paper. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and bake eight
minutes in a moderate oven."
"Angel Cake". Equidates OED2's earliest quotation.
