Betty Crocker itself was not created until 1921, the brand has spent decades chronicling and archiving historic American baking trends. In the definitive recipe collection Betty Crocker’s Cooky Book (originally published in 1963), the "Heritage" and "Best Cookies of the 20th Century" sections explicitly preserved the exact turn-of-the-century recipes that home bakers used during the 1900–1910 era. 1. The Oatmeal Drop Cookie (Era: 1900–1910) This was officially cataloged by Betty Crocker as the definitive cookie of the 1900s. Instead of the thick, sweet oatmeal cookies we eat today, this historic version is deeply spiced, earthy, and relies on dark molasses. It is perfect for chilly fall days. The Vibe: Chewy, deeply caramelized, and packed with warm autumn spices Ingredients: 1 cup softened butter, 1 ¼ cups brown sugar, ¾ cup white sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 tsp vanilla, 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp baking soda, ½ tsp baking powder, 2 cups rolled oats, and 1 cup of raisins paired with cinnamon.The Bake: Scoop onto baking sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 7 minutes 2. The Cinnamon Jumble (Era: 1890–1900s) Popularized right at the turn of the century and featured prominently in vintage Betty Crocker retrospectives, the Cinnamon Jumble was a massive staple of early autumn harvests Exceptionally fluffy, cakey, and aromatic with a heavy dusting of cinnamon-sugar How to Make It: A simple creamed base of shortening/butter, white sugar, and egg is mixed with flour and a touch of cream of tartar for that vintage tang. The wet dough is dropped by rounded spoonfuls, heavily blanketed in a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and baked until the tops gently crinkle and crack

Grease two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray or shortening. Line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, coffee, oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of the black food coloring and mix thoroughly. Divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake 24 to 28 minutes on the center rack of the oven or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and top springs back when lightly touched in the center. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely. In a medium bowl, combine the frosting with 2 teaspoons of black gel food color and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and thoroughly blended. pread a dollop of frosting onto a serving plate and place one of the cake layers on top. Spread 1/4 of the frosting on top of one of the cakes. Top with the second cake. Using an offset spatula or the smooth side of a butter knife, frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Put on a pair of clean, disposable kitchen gloves as the marshmallows are very sticky to work with and can be a bit hot. Microwave a small handful of the marshmallows (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup) on High for 10 to 15 seconds or until just beginning to puff. Grab a handful of the microwaved marshmallows and smash between your hands in a slow-motion clapping movement, repeating until you have stretchy strands of marshmallow between your hands. Wrap the strands of marshmallow around the frosted cake. Repeat microwaving and stretching the remaining marshmallows in batches until you have the desired spiderweb effect. You may need to wear a new pair of gloves for each batch of marshmallows. Decorate with plastic spiders, if desired. Remove spiders before serving. Recipe Tips Stretching the marshmallow webs isn’t difficult, but it is very sticky and potentially messy. Make sure you don’t touch anything that you don’t want covered in melted marshmallow. The warm marshmallows harden fast as they cool, so work quickly. This means your gloves will likely stick together as the marshmallows cool. Have extra pairs of gloves on hand so you can switch between batches. Freeze the cooled and wrapped cake layers for 30 minutes to firm them up, making them easier and more stable for assembling. Optionally, keep the layers frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost about 30 minutes at room temperature before assembling.
