Causes of Cake Failures

Heavy cakes are sometimes caused by too slow an oven or by the use of too much sugar or butter.
 Coarse-grained cakes may be the re- suit of too much leavening ingredients, too slow an oven, insufficient creaming of butter and sugar, insufficient beating or batter before addition of egg-whites.
 Large-h hoIed angel cakes are usually occasioned by insufficient blending of the egg-whites with the other ingred- tents; too little sugar or too fast an oven might produce such an effect.
 When cake falls it is Occasioned by insufficient quantity of flour or ris- ing ingredient or from moving it in the oven after the cake has risen but be- fore the cell walls have become fixed or firm by the heat; too fast an oven or removing from oven before thorough ly baked.
 A cake is "bready" and solid when too much flour has been used.
 A cake presents an uneven surface and cracks open on the top when too much flour is used or, more often, when too strong heat at first crusts over the top before the mixture has risen to it's full height. Later W hen the batter, heated throughout, rises, it bursts out at the weakest place, usual ly the top of the cake.

How To Make Butter Cakes Success
 fully
 Buy the ingredients best suited to the purpose in hand, i. e., good cake flour, fresh eggs, finely granulated sugar, fresh spices, nuts and butter.
 Measure all ingredients accurately ; the cooking school cup" holds One-half pint. Measure flour after once sitting, filling the cup with n spoon and level off cup with a knife; do not pack the flour in cup.
 Have pans ready and ingredients measured before beginning to mix the cake.
 Have the fire or heat in such con- dition that the oven will be ready for use when the batter is mixed.
 Be sure your egg beater is absolutely dry and clean before using.
 Always work butter to cream before adding any sugar to it. In cold weather dry before putting the butter into it. Also warm sugar slightly.
 The flour and milk should always be added alternately, beating hard after each addition.
 The last mOtlOn III HlAlnS putltI cake is to fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites.
 Small and layer cakes call for hot ter oven than thick cakes. Do not attempt to bake cakes of varying thick ness or of different mixture at the same time The heat of the oven can be regulated to ony one mixture and one thickness of batter at a time.
 Often you may know that butter cake that has not been disturbed dur ing baking is baked by the fact that it has separated from the sides of the center of cake should come out without any particles adhering to it when cake is done.
 Never jar or move a cake in the oven before it is thoroughly baked. This contracts the delicate, incompletely stiff ened cell walls and occasions "heavy cake"

That you can line your clothes clos cts with cedar and convert them into large, roomy and attractive cedar chests.
 Cedaro Lining is not kiln dried pro- duct, therefore it never loses its pun gent aromatic quality, no matter how long in use. This volatile content of Cedaro which radiates everlastingly, is it's moth killing and preventing quality. It kills and prevents moth eggs and larvae.
 In new homes it is applied directly to the studding thus eliminating the cost of lath, plaster and baseboard. In homes already built it is installed right over the plaster. It is tongued and grooved, already for economic in- stallation.

 Bake in square or round pans 20 to 9 minutes.
 Put layers together with a thick, white frosting, lightly covered with marshmallows cut in small pieces or omit the marshmallows and press half walnuts into the frosting, while it is soft. When the marshmallows are not used add 1 teaspoon vanilla to the cake mixture.
