Those cakes look good! I may have to look up some of those recipes when I find my mixer. I'm sure Ultramatic has posted some. |

Have an old Betty Crocker cookbook (with a red cover) that think is from the 1940's. It was given to me by the husband of a neighbor who passed on several years ago. Given her age at the time it is likely she was a young woman in 1940's and thus setting up her own housekeeping.
On another note, sad thing about that video is most of those girls/women likely had college degrees (Home Economics probably) and were paid very small sums, but suppose work and or career for females then was where you found it. Considering the other options open (teaching, nursing or the convent) baking cakes/cooking doesn't seem a bad way to go. *LOL* |

I've seen this video a number of times over the past year. One of my favorites, actually. Too bad the sound is so muffled---can't hear an 's' or 't'---but love the woman doing the demonstration. The history lesson at the beginning is cool, as well.
Oddly, haven't actually tried to make a cake using the 'new' 4-minute recipe. Will have to do that sometime. |

Note the clever product placement of the General Mills 'Softasilk' cake flour... LOL
What a neat old film! I recognize the names of several of the cakes as recipes included in the Dormeyer mixer cookbooks from the late 40s.
After seeing this, I have the urge to dust off the 3B Mixmaster and make that silver white cake (with the frosting and chocolate drizzle, bien sûr).
Thanks for sharing this!! |
