1950 Six Cake Recipes

A half dozen cake recipes that may have been found in your grandma's recipe box.

What would a mid-century woman’s magazine be without a recipe or two? Many of the recipes I’ve collected from these old pages are nothing short of disgusting. This one, however, is quite clever with delicious possibilities. It contains the following cake recipes.

Party Patchwork
Snow-Capped Devil’s Food
Caramel Walnut
Daffodil angel
Lord and Lady Baltimore

Bonus: Swiss Chocolate Layer Cake (an ad for Swans Down flour)

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
