This Betty Crocker’s Cake and Frosting Mix Cookbook (1966), is a beloved classic cookbook that guides home bakers with tips on how to use packaged cake mixes and frosting back in the 60’s. I’ve included original vintage cookbook clips on classic cake mix basics, some tips on cake pan sizes, and a few cake mix recipe variations.

Lady Baltimore Cake Recipe
How are Lady Baltimore Cake and Lord Baltimore Cake different? The Lady Baltimore cake recipe has egg whites, lending a lighter texture and has a dried fruit and pecan filling. The Lord Baltimore Cake recipe uses egg yolks, yielding a richer crumb along with a filling made of crushed macaroon cookies, nuts (walnuts and almonds), and cherries. Here is the recipe for my Lord Baltimore Cake.
