releasing carbon dioxide, a gas which
is to make the cake light. The claim
is that if put in at the last after the
batter has been we'll beaten, nearly
all the gas is availa BILE for raising the
cake. Whereas, if sifted with the flour
and added with it to the cake. that
much strength is lost. The best way
is probably to experiment and find out
which method brings the best result
with your baking powder and your
way of doing.
The most difficult muscular part of
cake making is the Dreaming of the
butter and the sugar. If the butter
is very cold and hard 1t is better to
bring it to the kitchen some time be-
fore needed for it should be about 10
degrees f. to be successfully and easily
creamed. The mixing bowl may be
heated with hot water before begin
ming to cream the butter, but the but
ter itself should never be heated or
melted except by standing in the room,
whose temperature may or may not
be particularly warm. Cream the but
ter in bowl with a wooden spoon,
then add the sugar gradually. stirring
carefully. The butter should first be
of soft. creamy consistency, and
when sugar is added, sufficient beating
must be done to have the mixture
creamy and not like hard sauce. If the
sugar has not dissolved before the
cake is baked, the grains. in melting
in the cake in the oven, make holes in
the cake and spoil the texture. Coarse
grained cake again and again comes
from not sufficiently mixing and beat
ing in the sugar.
If one egg only is to be used, 1t
should be beaten very light without
separating, and added to the butter

ton. The whites of eggs are beaten
to break up the tenacious albumen and
fill it with air. In order to accomplish
this the egg must be lifted. not beaten
round ana round, and the air admitted.
salt should be added, a small amount
to every cake, to enhance or bring out
it's flavor and If it is added to the
whites while they are being beaten, It
hastens the process by taking up some
of the water. The eggs should he suf-
ficiently dry to stick to the platter, and
as they cannot stand after being
beaten without separating, they should
be used without any great delay.
In mixing the whites Of the eggs
with the batter, lift and fold them in;
do not beat again Stirring indicates
a circular motion; beating a lifting, In
which the ingredients are turned over
and over; but folding in means a
gentle motion--a vertical downward
move and a deft turning over Of the
mixture. folding in as much at a time
as possible. Stirring mixes ingredients:

cutting i'll retains the air already in

and sugar. If moro eggs are used the
usual process is to beat the yolks and
whites separately, adding the yolks to
the butter and sugar, the whites later.
Occasionally, a recipe calls for more
sugar than can be beaten properly
with the butter, and in that case a
portion of it may be beaten with the
yolks, and this mixture added TO the
butter and sugar When the egg or
IN" yolks are we'll beaten in, and the
mixture is light and full of bubbles,
begin to add flour and milk alternately,

to secure light, flne-gralned cake.

Mes are but notifications. embelhsh-
mcnts or different combinations Of
these two cake foundations. There are
rakes without butter, of which sponge
cake is the best example, and cake

cakes are best known.
There is no such thing as luck in
cooking. It is like any other art. the
result of skill; in some. in part Unborn;
in others acquired: but in either case
the result of practice. And the first
step is preparation. How to measure,
and then persistence in doing it, is one
of the first maXins of good cooking
A measuring cup holds one-half pint
or two gills--or sixteen level table
spoOnfuls of dry material. Teaspoons
and tablespoons for kitchen use should
be of regulation size, just as much as
the cups used. Any cup or spoon or
handy utcnsil will not answer.
In general, dry materials should be
sifted before measuring, and when
cupful is called for, the cup should not
be dippcd into the flour or sugar and
shaken down until levelcd. This not
alone adds more of the particular in
grcdiCnt than is called for, but it is
apt to make a messy process out of
one. All measurments are level unless
the recipe states to the contrary. and
rounding spoonful equals two level
ones. For it should round as much
above as the spoon rounds underneath.
TO measure IL Cupful, put the mate
rial in by spoon or scoop. round slight
", then level with knife. DO not
shake the cup to settle the Hour or
whatever 1t may be- To measure
spoonful dip it in, then level quickly
ana deity with the knife. Halves are
divided lengthWise of the spoon.
A cupful or spoonful of liquid is all
the cup or spoon will hold, not to
carry from pantry to kitchen, but all
il Will hold right there. where every
thing should be ready. For The proc
ess Of cake making resembles diroc-
lions for Il childish game: one, to
make ready; two, to prepare; three,
to so slam bang-and then-there you
are.
Let it be cup cakes with butter that
are about to be made-that difficult
cake called onC-eeS cake.
The first step is to get butter. sugar
eggs. milk, flour. baking powder. bowls,
spoons. fork or beatcr and pans ready
creased, all there at hand. The next
is, not to begin to mix, but t. attend
to the fire and the oven. for if the
proof of the pudding is in the eating,
the test of cake making is in the hak-
ing. There arc no infallih!e rules to
guide the seeker to success here-cV-
ervthnG depends. Ovens are as indi-
vi1ual as people, and ranges form nab
Its of their own. The fire should he
clear and even. and in such condi-
