Today is World Baking Day!
The 1970s was a golden era of home baking in Australia, with many recipes inspired by the iconic Women’s Weekly cookbooks and made using simple pantry staples like condensed milk, coconut and cocoa.
Some of the baking classics many families remember from the decade include:
🍍Pineapple Upside Down Cake
🍫Chocolate Crackles
🥥Lamingtons
🍪Anzac Biscuits
🍰Sponge Cake
