  • COFFEE CAKE #1

    Coffee cakes make a big appearance in these cookbooks, implying that they were all the rage at the time. This recipe includes a topping that caramelizes as it bakes, resulting in a fluffy cake with a crispy, candy-like topping. The perfect sweet balance to a strong cup of coffee.

  • QUEEN OF BISKITS

    A fluffy, delicious biscuit, perfect for a Saturday morning breakfast treat with a lovely cup of coffee.

    If you like a savory biscuit, double the salt. I you like a sweet biscuit, double the sugar. If you like both, double both!

  • Carrot Bread

    My mother loved making this Carrot Bread. You can see her handwritten “good” notation on the recipe page. It was decadent when I was a child, but people I’ve served it to have ask, “Where’s the cream cheese frosting?” Nice idea.
