Old cookbooks

Posted by stickychewygooeyjen, May 13, 2008 at 4:11 PM

So in my never ending quest for baking recipes, a co-worker of mine lend me "The Lily Allen New American Cookbook" published 1944. Very impressed with the selection of cake/dessert recipes, personally I hate cake mix and refuse to use it, so am always looking for alternatives as I bake at least 1 cake a week.

So as I'm flipping through the pages , absorbing all of these wonderful recipes, I notice some of them are calling for yeast cakes. What the hell is that? Have you ever encountered something in an old cookbook that just makes you think what is it?
