I have decided to let y'all in on a little secret. I collect cookbooks (gasp)! I really don't even have a good reason why. I just like the nostalgia and if they have color pictures it is a plus!
So, for our first installment I think it is only fitting that I introduce to you "10 Cakes Husbands Like Best". Now, I don't have a hubby so I have not personally tried any of these recipes and I think you have to have one to try them. (This little gem of baking knowledge may sit on the shelf awhile) I was not able to locate a date on this little gem but I am going to guess 1940-1950s. If you know the date I would greatly appreciate it because I would just like to know.
First, we have "Aunt Jenny" - and no, I didn't pick it because of her name. I like how positive she is when she says that you need to bake all 10 of these beauties to see which one wins with him. Like he is going to be the only one in the castle that will eat cake!
I am not going to share all of the recipes but I do have to share the titles of all of them.
1.Chocolate Rapture Cake
2.Spicy Prune Whip Cake - this is where I believe the cookbook took a wrong turn.
3.Marble Cake Supreme
4.Fudge Frosted Layer Cake
5."Happy Birthday" Coconut Cake
6.Twin Applesauce Loaves
7.Bonnie Butterscotch Cake
8.Triple-Tier Party Cake
9.Hawaiian Lei Cake
and...
10.Marshmallow Devil's Food Cake
They all sound fairly edible except for the Spicy Prune Whip Cake.
Do you know of a horrible cake recipe? Let me know about it and I will post it on my blog so we all make sure to stay away from your cake at the potluck next time!

Bwaahahaha!
Love "Aunt Jenny", which is obviously another way of saying the "Omaha Office Ad Copy Department".
Some of these cakes sound just a little too suggestive for the likes of HIM.
