"Oh, the War Years. Articles were being written on how to cook tempting dishes without spending money on things like butter and cream. Here is a butterless cake, devised at that very time to help people all over the country come up with a bit of magic when there didn't seem to be any stardust." Another recipe from the "Forgotten Recipes" cookbook. Hope you like it!
