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.

Time 1h

  • Grease and flour an 8x4-inch baking pan.
  • Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

  • Mix with confectioner's sugar, a drop of vanilla, and a pinch salt. Glaze the cake while hot.
