Yes I love it.

It holds a special place for me as it was the very first cake I made. I think I
was 13, 14 or thereabouts.

It is a great first time recipe and any upside-down cake is a breeze to make.

I thought that the microwave made it's first appearance in the 1946-ish
world's fair...Where I believe GE had a radar range oven on display.

I did, I did! It was delicious. The meal was a success from start to
end, and the PUDC (oh dear!) was very tasty indeed.

Doubtful since Raytheon invented the Radar Range.

True, but Tappan introduced the first microwave oven for home use. I
think it was quite a few years yet before GE microwave ovens came
about.

The First "Radarange"

In 1947, Raytheon demonstrated the world's first microwave oven and
called it a "Radarange," the winning name in an employee contest.
Housed in refrigerator-sized cabinets, the first microwave ovens cost
between $2,000 and $3,000. Sometime between 1952-55, Tappan introduced
the first home model priced at $1295. In 1965 Raytheon acquired Amana
Refrigeration. Two years later, the first countertop, domestic oven
was introduced. It was a 100-volt microwave oven, which cost just
under $500 and was smaller, safer and more reliable than previous
models.

Wow. Tammy was looking for a specific recipe from many years ago. I
gave her an old one, hoping it was "the one".
How on *earth* is this already morphing into a discussion about
microwaves? (Shaking head).

Eh. It happens.

Point is, your recipe certainly tasted MUCH like I remember Aunt
Marie's PUDC. I invited over the Demo Dollies, my sis & BIL for a
decidedly untraditional Easter dinner, and the PUDC was dessert. When
I brought it out of the oven, Auntie (Demo Dolly #2) said, "WOW! I
haven't seen one of those since Aunt Marie made them!" To which I
replied, "precisely the point!" So we all enjoyed the PUDC and were
transported for a brief moment back to happier times.

Thank you, Dora, for helping to make that momentary transport
possible!
