This is a weird old slogan invented by a weird old man. It doesn't have any real meaning to anyone else, and it doesn't really match any patterns of real English language. It was probably just fun to say and brought to mind images of a "traditional" family decades ago.
I might guess that it's a pun on "lifetime," as in it's the best cake you'll have in your life, combined with the expectation that a man's wife would bake cakes for him.
