In honor of our December 2019 issue, which highlights recipes from electric cooperatives across Kentucky, here is a look at a cake baking contest from 1951. 

The Nash-Kelvinator Corporation was a sponsor of this contest which was held during the 5th annual statewide electric co-op meeting in Louisville.

The grand prize winner J. T. Tupman–of Columbia, Ky.–won a Kelvinator electric range. She made the best cake out of 22 entries.
