This is a recipe taken from a Magic Baking Powder promotional booklet aimed
at the Canadian market. Though there is no date on it, the cars in the
graphics are pre 1950, I think perhaps the 1920s or 30s. This was one of
"Six Prize Winning Recipes: Each recipe on this page won a first prize of
$250.00 in the National Mystery Cake Contest."
