In fairness, the cookbook photo looks like a sponge, so I’m not sure you would have fared much better even if it had come out correctly lol

Did it taste good? That’s all that matters.

Too accurate 😭🤣

Did the 1939 cookbook give dimensions for the pan? The your crumb doesn’t look denser than the book’s crumb. It looks like you used too wide of a pan.

There was no way that amount of batter would ever have risen to that height.

“Started baking it, had a breakdown, bon appetit!”
I’m sorry I did laugh. However, it made me think of James Ascaster in Bake Off, but I still would eat that lil’ cake with a bit of tea.

Honestly? Frost and cut into squares, you’ve got yourself a great cake. Slices would keep well in the freezer and then you can just have a hit of cake anytime.

As long as it tastes great, the outside no longer matters.

I have an old Better Homes & Gardens dessert cookbook that has a recipe for a layer cake and on the next page, a picture with small print underneath: _To match the picture, double the recipe._ I suspect that a lot of those recipes are like that😉

If it makes you feel better, I’m making a Texas sheet cake today which is intended to look like that. You can tell people that’s what it is! 🤣
