Not to brag, but cakes are kind of our thing. From the 1920s to today, we’ve been shaping America’s sweet tooth and providing must-make recipes for 100 years. From birthday parties to mid-week pick-me-ups to holidays, you’ve trusted us with it all. For that we thank you with these "happy tiers!”
In honor of our 100th birthday we thought we'd take a sweet trip down memory lane with a look back at iconic cakes from each decade. Here are our 11 Most Popular Cakes of the Century. Warning, drool-worthy content ahead.

Okay, so who else is craving cake now? You can’t say we didn’t warn you! Whether you're a history buff and Betty super fan or just looking for a timeless recipe, you can’t go wrong with any of these cakes. Now, all that’s left to do is head to the kitchen and take some whisks.
