So when they started cake mixes in the '40s, they would take this powder and they would put it in a box, and they would ask housewives to basically pour it in, stir some water in it, mix it, put it in the oven, and -- voila -- you had cake.
Cando apareceron os preparados  de torta nos anos 40, consistían nun po que viña nunha caixa e o que tiña que facer a ama de casa  non era máis que botalo, engadir auga, remexer, meter no forno e voilá! A torta estaba lista.
