  Subject: Calumet One Egg Cake

  I am searching for a recipe that I used as a young girl in the mid 1940s.  
  It was on a Calumet Baking Powder hand out calendar and was called 
  "Calumet One Egg Cake".  It was the one I used many years to make pineapple 
  upside down cake and they were the best.
  I made the cake by memory and as I have gotten older, well you know the 
  rest......  If you can help me, I would very much appreciate it.
  Thanks
  Flo
  

Hi Flo,

Well, I can't find a Calumet one egg cake, but I do find several one-egg cake recipes. A few are below. See if one of them suits. If none of them is quite right, let me know what should be different and I'll look again.

Phaed

I later found the recipe:

Calumet One-Egg Cake

Two cups sifted Swans Down Cake Flour
Two teaspoons Calumet Baking Powder
One-quarter teaspoon salt
Four tablespoons butter or other shortening
One cup sugar
One egg, unbeaten
Three-quarters cup milk
One teaspoon vanilla

Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift together three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, 
creaming together until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat very thoroughly. Add flour, alternately with milk, a small amount at a 
time. Beat after each addition until smooth. Add vanilla. Bake in a greased pan, 8x4x3 inches, in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) 
one hour. Spread chocolate or mocha frosting over top and sides of cake. May also be baked in two greased 9 inch layer pans in 
moderate oven (375 F) 25 minutes. Double recipe for three 10 inch layers.All measurements are level.

   1 1/2 c. flour
   2 1/2 tsp. baking powder

   Preparation : 
      Blend butter and sugar together.  Mix baking powder with flour. 
   Gradually add and mix the two mixtures together with egg and milk. 
   Blend altogether.  Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

   1 egg, well beaten
   2 c. sifted flour
   1/4 tsp. salt
   2 tsp. baking powder
   3/4 c. milk
   1 tsp. vanilla

   Preparation : 
      Cream butter, adding sugar gradually and continue creaming until
   light and fluffy.  Add egg, sift dry ingredients and add alternately
   with milk and vanilla, about 1/3 of each, at each addition and beat
   until smooth.  Turn into greased layer pans and bake in moderately
   hot 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes.  When cold fill and frost
   as desired.  Or bake in a greased loaf pan in moderate 350 degree
   oven for about 40 minutes.  This makes a good plain cake which,
   however because of the small amount of shortening and egg, will not
   keep moist as long as nicer mixture.
