@@ingridpear1882 Texas sheet cakes, coffee cake, upside down pineapple cake, sock it to me cake, angel food cake, bread pudding are still common now. I don't know who came up with this list very odd!
Most Supermarket bakeries still sell plane angel cakes ready for you to decorate any way you choose. My grandmother buys Betty Crocker's angel cake mix on a regular basis when she makes her strawberry Sparkle angel cake for birthdays.
I have always preferred the 1950's Chiffon Cake over Angel Food, which is too sweet for me. You can use Chiffon Cake the same way you use Angel Food. And try making Pineapple upside down cake with canned coconut milk instead of dairy milk. It's fantastic!
I remember angel food cake...we had it with strawberries and whipped cream a lot, mmmm...coffee cake is still around, I love them! And lemon merengue is still available at any bakery. I've never had pineaapple upside down cake, but it looks delicious!
These foods were common where I grew up in the 1960s-70s and had disappeared by the 80s. It does remind me of when I lived in Missouri for a few years and people ate still more like this though.
Uh pretty sure almost all of these are still made today. I know I've made (and eaten) quite a few of them myself. And if I ever manage to go through a bake sale without having to bake half a dozen pineapple upside down cakes THEN it can go on a forgotten desserts list.
Non stick cake pan made pineapple upside down cake popular, ok, why aren’t they using a non stick pan in the video 🤪 . Lemon meringue pie was always popular, it was one of the first things I learned to cook in the 60s… Thank goodness these videos are made for fun entertainment and not facts 😂
70 years ago I would assemble a refrigerator cake for my mom’s monthly meeting to include members of her club. I would also assemble, with crustless bread, the 3 layer sandwich loaf. I believe we used ham (not sure of the other layers). Then I would frost it with cream cheese.
I remember that sandwich loaf and most of these desserts from the Betty Crocker Cookbook. I still have my family's copy. It was published in the late 1960s.
Ham Salad, Chicken Salad, Egg Salad and Tuna Salad were the most popular. Use any three, spread between four layers of a Pullman loaf, sliced horizontally.
I agree. This is another video which the creator did not do research for and probably doesn't care to do research because they only created it so that they get paid
@@michaellaclark1148 There's a lot of that on RU-vid. RU-vid tries to ban people who make good, useful content, but seems to encourage this sort of garbage.
Texas sheet cake is so good! My supervisor in the kitchen of the nursing home I worked at would make this for special occasions. I got the recipe from her & tried it at home. Didn't taste like hers. She asked me if I cooked the wet ingredients. Cook? Guess I didn't read that part. lol
I grew up in the 70's and 80's and never had any of these cakes or knew they existed until later!😂 My mother made boxed cakes and brownies. We couldn't afford to have many desserts made from scratch. Just something like rice pudding.
I must be in an alternate lost zipcode bc we still eat every single one of these at some time of the year. Even the weirdo tomato soup came except we use 1/4 of soup with mashed sweet potatoes and shredded carrot. Weird but has a great taste. The chocolate and mint pie we add pistachios to the cream. My waaay younger cpusins like the jello bc we put a gumball in the bottom. Siiighh good ole 80's. You're not dead yet lol.
If you think about it, tomatoes are technically fruit so I can see them lending themselves to dessert. Same with avocadoes. I've made avocado mint ice cream and they add a fudginess to things like brownies.
I used to think mayonnaise cake sounds disgusting but as long as you make the mayonnaise without adding the seasonings like garlic powder then it's simply just oil and egg, so I can wrap my mind around that lol
Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake uses commercial mayonnaise made with oil and eggs, such as Kraft or Hellman's. Do NOT use a similar product called "salad dressing" spread such as Miracle Whip. These "spreads" are made from other ingredients, including vinegar and spices.
My grandma has an old Betty Crocker cookbook and every single one of these dessert are in there with comments that they were the thing at the time. The cookbook is from the 60s. Growing up in the 80s I don’t remember these being particularly popular. A “traditional” creaming “method”? THATS ALWAYS HOW YOU CREAM EGGS SUGAR AND DRY INGREDIENTS
Oh, yes. I have a copy now. I just posted a like reply to someone else's comment. I can see the pictures of these from the book in my head because I pored over that thing for hours and hours as a kid.
Wait, wait, wait ! So in this video about 80's forgotten "we want back" desserts they mentioned mayoneise chocolate cake and 7 days later they make a video 70's desserts we want to keep in history and forget and add chocolate mayonaise cake ? Soooo, who is insane ?
I've been looking for a Lady Biltmore cake for the last twenty years . I lost the recipe and no one around here has even heard of it . Please print it out. I will forever be in your debt.
I think the reason why things aren’t made as much is because women aren’t staying home as much and also because there in now an over abundance of store bought junk food, so people don’t appreciate homemade desserts like they use to.
Tomato soup cake?? I need to look up a recipe for that one and try it. Tomato ice cream used to be popular in some countries so maybe the flavours do work ok for sweet dishes
In the 1960s I had a friend who would bring tomato soup cake to school for lunch. It always fascinated me because it did not taste like tomato soup at all - more like a cross between chocolate and carrot cake. She told me her mom brought the recipe from the Netherlands to Canada. So it is older than the 1980s. Delicious!
Since when was pineapple upside down cake forgotten? My closest grocery store has all the ingredients as an end cap every year, so clearly I’m not the only one making it.
My mother made lemon meringue pie with a biscuit base, i still make it like that for my kids. Wednesday was baking day, bread, scones and pie. Still remember coming home from school to the smells....
Tomato Soup Cake, Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake, Coca-Cola Cake and 7up Cake, among others, were created during the Great Depression, or immediately following the Second World War.
