Baking Pointers

Some facts about cake baking,
which have been proven by research
and experimentation:
An egg white usually contains q
thin, as well as viscous portion. The
thinner portion beats up to greater
volume. A small amount of water
added to egg white when being beat
en- makes a more tender cake.
If egg whites are at room tenn
perature when beaten, the volume
is greater than when eggs are chill
ed. ~. .
An egg two or three days old is
better than a freshly laid one for
cake making.
Beating egg whites until dry and
powdery is inadvisable, since wa
ter has been lost in this process.
The flour and sugar in the cake
both need that lost moisture. Over
beating also gives the cake less vol
ume. Undertaking may give q
tough, rubbery layer at bottom OF
cakes.
Cream of tartar whitens the cake
and makes it tender, but too much
makes the cake tart and moist.
