Found in a 1934 Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

For a second I thought that was a cottage pie cake lol

What is the stuff at the top?

coconut pecan frosting. traditional for this kind of cake

Wait, a 1956 recipe in a 1934 book?

yup. fhere was a bunch of old newspaper clippings

Time paradox?

no? someone clipped a recipe from a 1956 newspaper and put it in their 1934 cookbook

Ah okay. I thought you were saying that a recipe from 1956 appeared in a 1934 cookbook.

That was a wild ride.

Looks good for a 66 year old cake.

Just perfect my mom made me that cake all the time when I was a kid God I miss mom. It looks just like the way she made it Funny how different things can make u remember your loved ones. Thank you for that
