phamplet dated 1940, which featured Kate Smith's favorite Cakes. It was
published by General Mills, and the pampHlet is falling asunder! I am glad to
be able to save these old recipes. For those who too young to retrieve,
where
it calls for the use of a rotary mixer in these recipes, just use your
electric social, or hand mixer as requisite.
