Today we have cake decorators and beautiful cakes in the bakeries, the grocery stores, discount stores, etc. But I still like to go back to the cakes of my childhood and I'm sure many of you do too. These recipes are for old fashion cakes that go back to my childhood and perhaps yours. Velvet Crumb Cake is a small square cake with a crumb topping that is perfect with coffee or tea. The Pineapple Flavored Pound Cake is perfect served with fresh fruit or berries. These cakes are especially good for occasions that call for a light dessert with coffee or for transporting to the office, a reunion, or church social. You don't have to worry about the frosting running or keeping your cake in the shade at picnics.

3/4 cup sugar
