Cake Discovery of the CenturyMany food authorities have declared that Chiffon Cake was the cake discovery of the century. This was an entirely new cake that combined the lightness of angel food cakes with the richness of butter cakes. The secret ingredient, discovered by an insurance salesman who enjoyed cooking, was cooking oil! Harry Baker made these cakes for special Hollywood occasions beginning in the late 1920s. He felt a special kinship with Betty Crocker, having listened to her radio program for a number of years, and decided that Betty should bring this new cake to the general public. He came to Minneapolis to offer the recipe to General Mills, and the deal was completed in 1947. After the home economists did some fine-tuning, the recipe and several variations were made public in a 1948 pamphlet. Betty had helped create the first really new cake in 100 years!
