The amazing history of Betty Crocker

This is way more interesting than you might think.  For example, she got married.  Kind of.

Oh, and there's a recipe here for pineapple upside down cake which looks spectacular.

  1. My mother and her mother always made the pineapple upside down cake in an iron skillet. Works great!

  2. When we started watching that, the last thing I expected was to watch all of it, but the guy made a good show out of it.

  3. My mother still has her Betty Crocker cookbook that was a wedding present in 1959.
    Lot's of good basic recipes in there.
    Always looking in thrift stores to find a copy.

  4. My mother made the pineapple upside down cake only a few times a year. If she's made it daily there would have none left by each following morning.

    One of the very few recipes I am aware of that looked exactly like the picture when done.

  5. Pineapple upside down cake is my second favorite right behind authentic German chocolate cake. It's the first cake I learned to make. I also received a BC cookbook as a wedding present in 1960 and having never cooked anything it was a godsend. If it hadn't been for Betty I think we might have been eating PB&J that year.
