Quick Chocolate Cake Recipe
Through the Kitchen Door - May 1968 - In sharing these recipes from the 60's I must admit that they include poems that I wanted to put here also. I hope you all like them as much as I do.

Ingredients
  • Childhood's Day
  • by Lillian Burns Hudson
  • How I remember Saturdays
  • In the days long gone by,
  • When Mother in the kitchen
  • Was baking bread and pie.
  • How anxiously I waited
  • For the bread and pie to bake,
  • Then Mother took a mixing bowl
  • And began the chocolate cake.
  • She beat the eggs and sugar well
  • And added other things,
  • Then with a big spoon stirred it
  • Till the batter stood in rings.
  • The batter looked delicious
  • As she placed it in the pan,
  • Then set the bowlon the table . . .
  • That's when our fun began.
  • I remember as though 'twere yesterday
  • How my mother, gentle soul,
  • Would smile and look at me and say,
  • "Now you can lick the bowl."
