20 Forgotten Desserts From The 1980s We Want Back!

[@brigitasehgal2937]

[@carolshannon6449]

I remember angel food cake...we had it with strawberries and whipped cream a lot, mmmm...coffee cake is still around, I love them! And lemon merengue is still available at any bakery. I've never had pineaapple upside down cake, but it looks delicious!

Pineapple upside down cake is easy to make and tastes as good as it looks.

[@ReillyWilde]

Oooo, you had me at Grasshopper Pie! 😍

[@sandralouth3103]

I have always preferred the 1950's Chiffon Cake over Angel Food, which is too sweet for me. You can use Chiffon Cake the same way you use Angel Food. And try making Pineapple upside down cake with canned coconut milk instead of dairy milk. It's fantastic!

[@RiaLake]

Thanks, I'll use 🥥 milk for a vegan version of 🍍 upside down cake. 🙂

[@StamperWendy]

Mexican wedding cakes, Swedish snowballs, Russian tea cakes, Noel nut balls All the same recipe, from what I've heard

I got married in 1977 and my Mom made these desserts in the 1960s. She frequently made meringues so not sure what changed in the 80s?

I remember I had a notebook full of pudding and jello recipe. I still make some of them.

Thank you! That was a very video.

[@zoesummer1076]

These foods were common where I grew up in the 1960s-70s and had disappeared by the 80s. It does remind me of when I lived in Missouri for a few years and people ate still more like this though.

[@phoebe2234]

My mother made lemon meringue pie with a biscuit base, i still make it like that for my kids. Wednesday was baking day, bread, scones and pie. Still remember coming home from school to the smells....

[@dianekurley4963]

70 years ago I would assemble a refrigerator cake for my mom’s monthly meeting to include members of her club. I would also assemble, with crustless bread, the 3 layer sandwich loaf. I believe we used ham (not sure of the other layers). Then I would frost it with cream cheese.

[@royst.george7328]

Ham Salad, Chicken Salad, Egg Salad and Tuna Salad were the most popular. Use any three, spread between four layers of a Pullman loaf, sliced horizontally.

[@Olivia-pe5vf]

Bread pudding. Yes please.❤❤❤

Millionaire Pie is still a holiday favorite in my house.

Before Jell-o 123 my grandmother would make her own version Jell-o Cool whip then Jell-o and cool whip again. she used the fruit flavors and pudding.

[@mariannemaalouf9730]

I discovered streusel cake when I was studying in University back in the 2000s. I heard about upside-down pineapple cake in 2008 when Iwas in Wales (UK) attending a conference. The speaker cited it as a classic American dessert. He was speaking about iodine supplementation.The first time I had Angel food cake was after the year 2010. To me these are new desserts!

[@billtheslink4541]

I forgot about mayonnaise cake! I gotta bake one.

[@Miminini79]

Some of these cakes were common in South American where I grown up. My favorite is kuchen! I bake them all the time, adapting the recipe for those used by Germans immigrants use to bake in Brazil. Here in southern USA where I live now we easily find at any Publix (local supermarket chain): lemon merengue pie and coffee cake. Now I’ll have to bake most of these recipes to taste and be the judge of how good it truly is😂😂

[@maryannstout7600]

All of these desserts are familiar except the canned tomato soup cake. Never heard of it. I made some of these both in the 1960’s thru to now. I always made my kids birthday cakes when they were little, and I made them in shapes. As they grew older their dad made the cake. My favorite thing to bake were pies 🥧 of all kinds. I began baking when I was 13 years old. And I also taught my children to bake as well. By the time that the older ones were teenagers they did the baking. They even made Thanksgiving dinner. They divided up who did what and then sent me into the living room to prop up my feet and read a book. They would carefully get out the good china, silver and glassware, gently clean them,set the table. They did everything. Some of them get together even now and have formal dinners with their friends. They divided up all my fancy dinner things among themselves and then bring it all together for a formal dinner. I don’t go because my health has been quite bad for the past 15 years or so. But anyway, these beautiful desserts are alive and well with my grown children today.😊

[@mntns2014]

Texas sheet cake is so good! My supervisor in the kitchen of the nursing home I worked at would make this for special occasions. I got the recipe from her & tried it at home. Didn't taste like hers. She asked me if I cooked the wet ingredients. Cook? Guess I didn't read that part. lol

Non stick cake pan made pineapple upside down cake popular, ok, why aren’t they using a non stick pan in the video 🤪 . Lemon meringue pie was always popular, it was one of the first things I learned to cook in the 60s… Thank goodness these videos are made for fun entertainment and not facts 😂

The glass punch bow with mini matching cups hanging on the edged of the punchbow. The sherbet, lemond-lime soda, Hawaii Punch fruit juice was introduced to me at my child birthday party in the late 60s. This wasn't an 80s items. Most of these desert presentation I experienced from house parties as early as the 60s. Especially pineapples upside down cake and lemond margarine pies, not Key Lime pies. People get those two confused and I don't know why?

[@CelestialKitsune13]

Uh pretty sure almost all of these are still made today. I know I've made (and eaten) quite a few of them myself. And if I ever manage to go through a bake sale without having to bake half a dozen pineapple upside down cakes THEN it can go on a forgotten desserts list.

Even the weirdo tomato soup came except we use 1/4 of soup with mashed sweet potatoes and shredded carrot. Weird but has a great taste. The chocolate and mint pie we add pistachios to the cream. My waaay younger cpusins like the jello bc we put a gumball in the bottom. Siiighh good ole 80's. You're not dead yet lol.

[@bikingbuggy4199]

I think the reason why things aren’t made as much is because women aren’t staying home as much and also because there in now an over abundance of store bought junk food, so people don’t appreciate homemade desserts like they use to.

In the 1960s I had a friend who would bring tomato soup cake to school for lunch. It always fascinated me because it did not taste like tomato soup at all - more like a cross between chocolate and carrot cake. She told me her mom brought the recipe from the Netherlands to Canada. So it is older than the 1980s. Delicious!
