A cake baked 79 years ago during World War II has been found in the Old Town district of the city of L&uuml;beck in Germany which was bombed by the British warplanes, according to a <a href="https://www.livescience.com/cake-mummy-found-in-germany">Live Science</a> report.</p>
<p>
Dirk Rieger of the Hanseatic City of L&uuml;beck Historic Monuments Protection Authority said that the city, although a non-military target, was bombed by the British Royal Air Force on the night of March 28, 1942, in retaliation for the Nazi blitz of Coventry, England, in 1940.</p>

The cake was found in the remains of a building that collapsed into its cellar during the air raid. Later, a new house was built on top of the ruins.</p>
<p>
Wrapped in wax paper, the hazelnut and almond cake decorated with sugar icing was carbonized and preserved, Rieger explained. Plates, knives, spoons, and vinyl records, including a recording of Beethoven&rsquo;s Moonlight Sonata, were found nearby.</p>

&ldquo;Because this was a family celebration, they listened to music, they wanted to have a nice cup of tea, they wanted to have this cake,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a very intimate situation that was immediately destroyed by this war.&rdquo;</p>
