Snackin’

If you are a child of the 70’s/80’s “Snackin’ Cake” (Betty Crocker) was a staple in most kitchens to keep up with the ever increasing demands on the working wife’s time. Even back then , without the help of cellphones and automated everything, companies were developing ways to save time. All you needed was a pan, a fork and a measuring cup!

I was looking through my old tin and found my “snacking cake” recipe. It’s really simple, mixes up in one bowl and has a few variations using pantry staples everyone has.

The recipe photo I posted on Instagram shows the recipe from Homemakers Magazine circ. 1999. I still use that recipe today! It’s great for using up the last browning banana or the rest of an opened tin of pumpkin puree. I don’t tend to put any icing on mine but a blanket of sifted icing sugar over the top does the trick.

It’s great in a lunch, to transport to work for your friends to share or if you have unexpected company drop by.

Enjoy!
