Low Cost Frosting for Cake
tBy Biddy Bye)

y@Sby B1ddy Bye)
 Notnly for the sake of economy in sugarss>5s for the sake of variety and labor saving as we'll, it is a good plan for the housewife to keep in her mind, and in her menu catalog, list of simple but delicious frostings and filings for plain cakes.
 Here are some that were tried and tested, during the war time sugar saving period, and which proved so delicious they are regarded as treas ures in this high cost of living crisis.
 A one-egg cake, or simple sponge cake is transformed into a satisfac- tory dessert by the addition of one of these filings or frostings.
 For plain cake, instead of icing, try spreading the top with this mix ture and serve with or without cream.
 Stir 3-4 cupful of chopped nuts in to 1 cupful of apple or peach butter, sweeten slightly, and spread on cake.
 An eggless chocolate filling for sim .ple cake is made by heating cup- fuls of milk in a double boiler, and adding IA cupful of cornstarch dis solved ina little cold milk. Cook the
 
 of sweet chocolate and 1-2 teaspoon full of vanilla. When the chocolate is dissolved beat the mixture well and spread between cake layers.
 Cream and Fruit Filling-Whip 3-4 of a cupful of thick cream until stiff and fold in 1-3 cupful of powdered sugar and IA cupful of chopped nuts. Chop 1-3 cupful each of figs and prunes and moisten with table, spoonfuls of lemon juice. Add the fruit to the nut and cream mixture and spread thickly on sponge cake.
 Mocha Frosting, Uncooked-Cream 1-3 cupful of butter and add gradu- ally 1 1-2 cupfuls of confectioners' su- gar. Rub the two together we'll Add tablespoonfuls of strong black cof- fee and 1 teaspoonful of vapilla Beat until thin and smooth enough to spread on cake or cup cakes.
 Orange Honey Filling-Boil togeth- CT IA cupful of sugar and 3-4 cupful of light corn sirup, adding IA cup full of water and IA cupful of orange juice. Cook until the sirup spins a thread from the spoon, then stir in 1-3 cupful of grated orange peel. Boil up the sirup again, cool, and use for cake filling.
