Secret of Cake Making

Papering Is no trouble II 10 cents
worth Of yellow wrapping paper Is
bought and cut in leisure moments TO
lit your various shaped pans. Keep
In an alright box in the kitchen
closet
A good cake baker makes sure that
her cake pans are not used for other
purposes by keeping them under lock.
In the same place have all the utensils
needed and there will be no delays.
Here also have an extra supply Of
baking powder. flavoring extracts,
chocolate and the special sugar used.
DO not get more than five pounds at
a time of the latter, and see that Il
il rolled and sifted before using.
II the mixing spoon Is a wooden
frame, beating is expedited. II one OF
these spoons cannot be bought, any
carpenter can make one.
In mixing a cake, cream butter and
sugar together-not with the hands.
II can be done just as well and more
hygienically with a spoon. Butter
should be soft to save work. This
does not mean melted, which makes a
heavy batter Beat 10 light cream.
Next put In the well-beaten yolks of
eggs, stirring vigorously. Add the
flour and milk alternately, just stir
ring in and not beating.
Mix the baking powder with a little
flour and add after the flavoring.
Last stir in the whites of eggs beaten
so stiff they adhere to plate when
turned upside down. They should be
stirred In with least possible motion.
When a cake is done il will have
drawn slightly away from the edges
Of the pan. 1t can also be tested by
clean straw. Do not bake more than
a delicate golden brown. II the oven
is too hot and the batter browns
quickly. cover with a paper. Turn the
cakes upside down on q clean towel
or sheet of waxed paper. There viii
be no sticking il bottoms of pans have
been papered and creased properly.
Otherwise, IL cakes stick put wet
cloth over bottoms of pans for a
minute.
Small cakes stick less II the pans
are flat-bottomed and the sides tall
and rather straight. After greasing,
flour we'll. then shake off superfluous
flour. Run knife around sides before
turning cakes out.
Do not ice until cakes are cold.
Boiled white icings are preferable to
the uncooked. and soft fudge to

8 every one should know how
a. 90 bake delicious cake
- whether she makes use Of It
S or not, here are a few rules
49, that are essential:
Use the best materials. SO-called
cooking butter and stored eggs will
make poor cake. and let no economical
one persuade you otherwise.
What is known as soft A sugar
makes a cake OF nicer grain than
granulated or powdered sugar. In
measuring stint rather than heap up
the cup or the batter Is coarse
grained.
Baking powder should be measured
by gently rounding, not heaped or
flat. teaspoonfuls. with sour milk
recipes use baking soda and cream OF
tartar rather than baking powders.
Never guess at measurements. Most
recipes give exact proportions-which
a good cook sometimes modifies. A
cup, when not defined. usually means
the stone china kitchen coffee cup
that holds a little more than half
pint
The richer the milk the better the
cake. More than is called for is
often permissible to keep the batter
from getting too thick.
Stinting flour is the secret Of good
cake. Few realize this as can be
told by two persons making up the
same recipe with results totally DIFF
ferent from the cook who is heavy on
flour. It is safe to allow quarter
to half a cup less flour on most
recipes.
Judgment is important in cake mix
ing. Flours differ in heavness and
eggs in size; therefore to keep the
batter from being too stiff see that 1t
runs easily from the spoon, yet Is
not "runny." Thinning must be done
before baking powder and whites OF
eggs are in.
Have all ingredients ready before
beginning to mix a cake. Once started
It should go into the oven quickly.
One mixing bowl and two smaller
ones for eggs will be needed. also a
wooden paddle and a wire egg beaten.
Sift flour twice before measuring and
put into batter through sitter
Get ready pans before starting cake,
There is but one sure way to prevent
sticking-paper the bottoms of pans
and grease 1t, not the pan, which is
only buttered on the edge Many per-
sons use lard for greasing, but butter
never tastes.
