It is pretty good! I added a tsp of Almond and Vanilla extracts to it and skipped the glaze as there's A LOT of sugar in the batter.

This is the only picture I got before it was demolished.

I was worried because my oven preheats with convection, but even so the cake was perfectly done in 90 minutes! I'd never made a cold oven cake before but will feel a little more confident about it next time.

The cake was sweeter than I expected, so a side of strawberries and whipped cream was perfect without being too much. Happy belated birthday to my husband!

I got this recipe about 15 years ago and I still can't figure out what it says. I can only make bits and pieces out. Can u guys help me out please?

I was hoping someone could help me find an old recipe. It was on the side of a box of pasta, but I can't remember the brand. It was for stuffed shells. The recipe was very simple, ricotta, sausage, some spinach and eggs. I remember it being very good. If anyone can remember or has something similar, I'd appreciate it a lot.

My grandmother's cherry cake recipe... It says to use a tube pan but I don't have one. I don't have a bundt pan or anything else that has some sort of center taken out of it. Could I use a loaf pan? A normal cake pan? Help! Thank you :-)

I have a small collection of about a dozen or so cookbooks from the 1980s-1990s that I want to scan, but I don't really want to sit there and scan every page front and back. Plus, it would be impossible to get them all back in the plastic binding.

Anyone know what's the best course to get it done in bulk? Tangentially, anybody know where I can upload a dozen old cookbook PDFs that's not a Google Drive?

My daughter who hates cake loved it.

Would anyone be able to recommend to me a good, classic, wet bottom shoo fly pie recipe? It happens to be one of my favourite pies and I want to find a good recipe for one.

Subsidiary question for the group, I am absolutely PANTS at making pie crusts myself... Would anyone be able to recommend a storebought crust for a shoo fly pie?

Thank you :)

Does anyone happen to have the original oatmeal cookie recipe that used to be on the outside of the cylindrical Quaker Oats box? I had cut it out and stored it inside a big glass storage jar of oats and my husband apparently tossed it. Whoops!

I’d really appreciate the help! Thanks!

The words "coal black" were used in the description, so i used black cocoa. Also tried half with sparkling sugar and I think I prefer it. The heat is only noticeable on the tongue and back of the throat after you've finished the cookie. Very mild sweetness and a good crunch.

Some years ago, I worked at a restaurant that had the best bacon jam I've ever had... The problem is; the chef made it exclusively, and kept the recipe close to her chest. It had maple syrup and bourbon for sure, those flavors popped out whenever I ate it (and I ate it as much as possible haha)

So, I'm posting to see of anyone has a bacon jam recipe that they wouldn't mind sharing. I love trying new ones with different ingredients, as one simple ingredient change/variation can change the flavor of this simple condiment so much.

Thanks much everyone and happy cooking ♥️🖤

I recently stumbled upon this food processor that my mom kept around and never used (!) after all these years. My guess is it was gifted to her years ago, and she just completely forgot about it.

It came with a booklet of recipes meant to be made in a food processor, but I'm sure they could be made without one. The booklet is so old, it says it's printed in West Germany. I have no idea how old the machine is, but it's ✨new to me✨.

Because I like desserts, I'm sharing the dessert recipes 😁 Enjoy!

It came out great

These have been on my shelf - or the shelf of someone in my family - since new, still in regular use. Didn’t realize that the 90s is ‘old’ recipes. Heh, ugh. Anyway, interesting to see the introduction of processed food ingredients over time

My great aunt worked in an admin role for many years, and she was allowed to use the typewriter for personal work on her lunch break or during slow periods. Her spelling has always been...creative... and her typing got sloppy the faster she tried to go, so recipe cards that she cranked out on busy days were full of typos.

That's how this ended up as a "self curst" instead of "self crust" pie, and "the curse" lives on in family legend. I personally have never made it, but the handwritten notes are from my grandma, and my mom has always been a fan of the self crusting dishes (such as Bisquick "Impossible" recipes).

SELF CURST COCOANUT PIE

4 beaten eggs

1/2 cup self-rising flour (note from Grandma: 1/2 t. baking powder, pinch of salt [to substitute regular flour])

2 cups milk

1 3/4 cup sugar (note from Grandma: 1 1/2 cup)

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 stick butter

2 small cans coconut (note from Grandma: 4 oz x 2 = 1 cup)

makes 2 large pies. Pour into ungreased pie pans and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
