Devil's Food Chocolate Cake: How to be a Cake Genius

On Mother's Day I posted a Mother's Day Sunbeam Mixmaster Ad and recipe for Chocolate Cake. The Mother in that Retro advertisement looked more like my grandmother. It got me searching, and I found this Sunbeam Mixmaster Pamplet from May 28, 1945 (below) with a recipe for Mix Easy Devil's Food Chocolate Cake. The woman in the pamphlet looks more like my Mother. Don't you think? (see photo below)

And, since today is National Devil's Food Cake Day, this Sunbeam Mixmaster recipe is perfect! This handy dandy little cake pamphlet has a great cover -- How to be a Cake Genius with your Sunbeam Mixmaster. Pretty fabulous, don't you think?

So here's a great recipe for Devil's Food Chocolate Cake.

Mother's Day Chocolate Cake: Retro Sunbeam Mixmaster Ad & Recipe

I adore Retro Advertisements, and this one is particularly close to my heart. My mother had a Sunbeam Mixmaster. So many cookies, cakes and brownies were made with that Mixmaster. I don't have my mother's Sunbeam Mixmaster, but I have my Mother-in-Law's -- the same model with all the attachments. I use my Kitchenaid Mixer mostly, but I love the functionality of that old Mixmaster War Horse. It still works, and I'll bet my mother-in-law got it in the early 50s.

So, for Mother's Day, here's a Sunbeam Mixmaster Mother's Day Advertisement from Life Magazine, May 1, 1950, complete with Chocolate Cake recipe. What are you making for Mother's Day?
