This 1920s Slide Rule Hot Milk Cake Recipe Will Blow Your Mind

Welcome back to the Old Cookbook Show! Today, we’re diving into the 1920s with a unique vintage recipe card from the Rumford Baking Powder Company. Designed by the prolific recipe creator Lily H. Wallace, this card features a fascinating slide-rule-style recipe tool that brings us today’s treat: a classic Hot Milk Cake. With its simple ingredients—milk, butter, eggs, sugar, and flour—this cake has a light, tender texture perfect for pairing with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream.
