If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t you really should), you’ll know that I’ve been looking for funny vintage food ads on the internet and sharing them on my IG stories for a few months now. I created a highlight for them if you want to see the archive. I love them because obviously times were so different then, but it’s really great to see how ad agencies thought back then and how they marketed certain food products to the consumers—mostly stay at home wives—and how much different ads are nowadays. In my quest for these funny out-dated ads, I came across a 1961 ad for a company called Ann Page Foods, who among many things, produced a line of jams and preserves. The ad in question (which you can see below) featured a “Bakeless Wonder” recipe that was titled simply, Strawberry Cheese Treat. I thought it would be a fun challenge to try out the recipe and share it on the blog. In the end, it was pretty a fun exercise and I got a great treat at the end, so it’s a win-win.

Sheet cakes are the best because you can either feed a crowd with them, or just have a feast all to yourself. I actually don’t recommend eating it all by yourself…at least not in one sitting. Although, it does depends on what day of the week it actually is. If it’s Friday, and work has been hectic, then maybe you do want an entire cake all to yourself? Who’s to say, really? There’s fruit in it so it’s basically healthy. All kidding aside this Roasted Strawberry Sheet Cake is the dessert I’ll be making all summer long because it’s versatile and so easy to make. Use whatever fruit is in season to bake it again and again without getting bored of it. The base is a delicious yellow cake that lends itself to any flavor you pick. Serve it with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh whipped cream or ice cream, if you’re feeling adventurous. I really don’t cake how you make, just as long as you make it!

If you’ve never tried a classic 
Sometimes I think it’s important to keep a simple “quick bread” recipe up your sleeve. You know, for moments when you’re in dire need of something sweet, first thing in the morning. Or just a little something right after dinner. Perhaps, you’re in need of a sweet treat late at time right before bed. Whatever the case might be, whenever the craving hits, you’ll want a quick and easy recipe that requires hardly any work. That’s where this Zucchini Chocolate Chip Streusel Loaf comes into the picture. The zucchini, oil and yogurt makes the moistest cake you’ll ever have. The chocolate chip streusel in the center and the topping takes it over the top, without being too much. It’s like a spring time coffee cake that I think you should always have on hand. You never know when the cravings will hit. You’ll want to be ready with this loaf cake when it does.
