Story behind the song
The lyrics tell the story but for one tidbit: it's a Prune Cake (secret family recipe).
Lyrics
“Mama Bakes a Cake” Dwight Lakey My Mama was a product of the Great Depression When getting by was anything but great Grandma had to sew up all the clothes they wore And whip up all the meals they ate When Mama’s time came to feed our family There was TV dinners, minute steaks and Spam In the “Betty Crocker Kitchen” ready meals were found In the freezer, in a box or in a can That’s why it’s so special, now that Mama’s old and grey She takes a faded family recipe And just like Grandma builds a cake from scratch And she bakes that cake especially for me When I come home my Mama Bakes a Cake A pinch and a shake…stir and bake When I come home my Mama Bakes a Cake Made from scratch with love Made from scratch with love Made from scratch with love
