I'm afraid of pressure cookers too!
My mother had one and though we never had an awful beet incident, I'm glad no one has one anymore, at least anyone I know!😬

My maternal Grandmother made gingerbread with hard sauce that I loved. She also made whole orange cake (she ground up the whole oranges).
My maternal Grandfather made the best apple pie served warm with slices of sharp cheddar cheese.
They had owned an upscale supper club that they lost (along with their house) during the depression.

My only grandmother made what she called a 'potato cake'.. It was basically a white cake with cocoa powder, spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, chopped pecans and a cup of mashed potatoes. OMG, it was the best thing ever.
Second in line was my aunts coconut cake. Wow, it was good. I miss both them and their cakes.

The potato cake you're referring to is known as a Potato Caramel cake. My mom made the cake often using a tube pan, and covered it with warm caramel sugar glaze.

Growing up at Easter my mom was given lamb pound cakes with icing and all the works. Shredded coconut for grass (green dye), with jelly beans and colored eggs. We always had two lambs.
When I was in my early teens my Aunt made minature donuts with all kinds of different frostings and toppings and they were so good.

My grandmother,who was born in 1895, was a "health nut" before her time. Never smoked or drank, ate sparingly, walked for exercise and didn't eat sweets. The only sweets she ever had were lady fingers or a Pepperidge Farms Cake at a birthday. She was a wonderful lady and so nourishing in so many ways but not with sweets!
