The Victory Binding of the American Woman's Cook Book, Wartime Edition---1943
I'll be honest: I made this coffee cake months ago, but got so busy setting up BBM and getting into the swing of the new school year, I allowed Wartime Wednesdays to lapse.
So...I can't really say much about it. It was a breakfast cake, it got eaten.
A return to new WW dishes next week...
November brings a bit of the glitz & glamour to Blog Party, as we celebrate The Holiday Edition, 2.0, this month. RSVP no later than Thursday, 20 November...hope to see you there!
