Old-Fashioned Cake Recipes
Old-fashioned cake recipes, made from scratch, traditionally were a home baker's pride and joy. A cook was judged by her baking expertise.At family gatherings, such as picnics, reunions, church functions, etc. homemade cakes were the table's focal point.
If a cook had a reputation of "could make the best cakes", the guests grabbed them up, even before the fried chicken and roast beef.Many of these cakes have been entered into county fair contests and won Blue Ribbons (1st Place). The Sour Cream Coffee Cake was sold in a local wine cellar, where it was so popular, all the cakes sold out the day they arrived. Some were served in the best restaurants and cafeterias. All old fashioned cake recipes listed here, have been in our family for many years, passing the "tried and true" tests.
