During World War II, housewives in England used sweet products such as carrots to make their confections sweeter, and the first modern carrot cake recipe was published in 1943 by the Ministry of Food.

LEMON POUND CAKE - Lemon pound cake has a rich history. Legend tells the pound cake originated in Northern Europe in the early 1700s.

One famous recipe is the one served at the Ritz Carlton tea room, since the 1920s.  This recipe for this mix is an adaption of one Lady Bird Johnson made famous while entertaining at the white house.  The perfect balance of tart and sweet, it is a deliciously indulgent way to end any meal.
