WW2 WAR CAKE

WW2 War Cake image

An eggless, almost fatless, milkless cake, very aptly named - it was popular during wartime shortages. It is dense and delicious uniced. For those who yearn for a good cake, but must resist fat, this will do it.

10 WARTIME RECIPES FROM A BYGONE ERA - INSANELY GOOD

Victory Borscht. One ingredient that wasn’t always available during wartime was oil, which is why borscht became such a popular dinnertime option. You’ll start with a beef or vegetable broth base and then add a ton of fresh veggies – onions, beets, celery, tomatoes, carrots, etc.
Woolton Pie. Woolton pie was popular in Britain in World War II. It’s a bit like vegetable pot pie, only the crust is much different because you’ll make it from mashed potatoes, along with the flour and shortening.
The National Wheatmeal Loaf. The wheatmeal loaf is another World War II recipe, and if you’re looking for a simple way to make bread, you’ll like it, as well.
Spam Fritters. Spam fritters may seem like a super weird thing to make, but they were cheap and contained 15% of a person’s daily needed protein, so they were pretty popular.
Homity Pie. Homity pie may not be familiar, but I’m here to tell you that it’s incredible. And I mean that without any disclaimer. It’s incredible, not “incredible for a wartime recipe.”
