abandoning the idea altogether for
the duration some Sweetening
agent other than sugar Is needed.
The problem Is, how can we
achieve sweet but sugarless cakes?
One very satisfactory solution Is
corn syrup. For baking with corn
syrup you will, Of course. need
special recipes. The cook cannot
just substitute a cup Of corn syrup,
let us say, for cup OF sugar IN
her favorite cake and expect the
usual success. Below are several
recipes in which corn syrup Is
used. New and scientifically de-
veloped, these recipes. If carefully
followed. are guaranteed to be
failure-proof.
Since frostings require the ex-
travagant use Of sugar. they must
be counted "out" for ordinary oc-
casions for the duration. The
sugarless but not SweetlesS cake
with Jelly spread between layers
and whipped cream topping is sure
to become a war time leader. An
other idea that will be liked is to
