Paula's Golden Cream Chocolate Cake: National Chocolate Cake Day, Vintage Ad & Recipe

I've been waiting awhile to post this Baker's Chocolate Cake Ad. In the 1930s and 40s, the Baker's Chocolate Advertisements told a story, and this one that appeared in Life Magazine on February 7, 1938 (and again June 5, 1939) is of my favorites. What a period piece! I mean really...just read the headline, "Paula Gives Mother-in-Law Her Come-Uppance".  And don't you just love the word "Flibbertigibbet."  Good thing Paula had a mind and talent of her own. And what a saint she was not lauding her baking skills over her mother-in-law. Such modesty. Oh puh..lease. I feel like writing 'the rest of the story.'

This recipe really is delicious. The cake is a "cross between a Fudge Cake and Boston Cream Pie." A perfect posting for National Chocolate Cake Day!
