I’m not sure Linda, if you give it a try make sure to let us know :).

Hi, this is my first visit to your websiste. You are a Godsend; I have egg allergies and needed some desserts without them. Thanks for the Eggless Chocolate Cake recipe. Please keep them coming!

Happy Day Cake

2½ cups sifted cake flour

1½ cups sugar

3 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1/2 cup shortening, at room temperature

1 cup milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

2 eggs

Sift flour with sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir shortening to soften. Add flour mixture, ¾ cup of the milk and vanilla. Mix until all flour is dampened, then beat two minutes at medium speed. Add eggs and remaining ¼ cup milk. Beat one minute longer. Pour into two 9-inch layer pans that have been lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans; remove from pans and cool thoroughly on racks.

This cake also may be baked in three 8-inch layer pans for 25 to 35 minutes, or in a 13- by 9-inch pan for 30 to 35 minutes. Batter may be spooned into 36 medium paper baking cups in muffin pans, filling half full. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.

I made a cake that had the receipe on the Swans Down Cake Flour box around 1989 it was a strawberry cake with buttercream icing. Can anyone find that receipe and send it to me

I’m looking for a recipe from Swans Down “Black Magic” cake flour. I pulled it off a pad of recipes in a store around 1950. My mom raved over it, and then the recipe was lost. (very sad)

Black magic cake – was this the receipe? Care to share it with us?

My mom used to make a large red, white and blue jello mold in a glass brandy snifter. It was a family favorite and now she is gone and we cannot find it anywhere. I think the white was actually lemon with either ice cream or cool whip

My mother used to make a one egg cake. The recipe was on the back of the Swans Down Cake Flour box. Does anyone have a copy of this recipe?

i am looking for the recipe for chocolate cake as found on the swansdown cake box in the 40s or 50s

Does anyone have the old recipe for chocolate cherry cake? I think it was on the Swansdown cake flour box.
From the 40’s or 50’s
Thank you

did anyone find the recipe for the chocolate cake that has canned cherries in it? It was on the box of Swansdown cake flour. Thanks

I love the happy day cake recipe. My mom made it every birthday. I am looking for a cookie recipe which was old using cream cheese roled with a sweet walnut filling.

After years of searching I found my favorite Swansdown recipe from the forties “Magic Spice Cake” on a copy of an old advertisement, but now I’ve lost it again. I even sent it in to a heritage recipe site, but nothing stirs it up. It was one of the “one bowl” cakes, and was originally included on a folder of recipes in the Swansdown box. It called for sour milk, which we often made with vinegar in milk, and was a mild, somewhat fluffy spice cake — delicate flavor. I used to frost it with 7 minute icing and won first price a couple of years at the Umatilla Co Fair in Oregon when I was very young. I wanted to make it for my 82nd birthday!

I am looking for a 1 layer cake with coconut, pecan filling/frosting on top. After you bake the cake you put the frosting on top & put it back in the oven for a minute or two. My mother made this regularly.
Thank you.
