Does your family like cake? Why

Cakes are easy to freeze. and keep
a uniform quality throughout stor-

storage period.
Cakes can be frozen in two ways.
Either frozen in batter form or fro
zen after baking. AS a general rule
butter cakes. or those which contain
added fat. such as chocolate cake,
white cake and layer cake, can be
frozen by either method. The stor-
age leriod for butter cakes should
not exceed four months.
Butter cakes freeze well, but the
texture may be finer and the cake
more firm than freshly baked cake.
Frozen butter cakes should be thaw-
ed at room temperature, allowing
two hours to thaw completely. For
best results. cake batter should be
baked Immediately after the batter
is thawed.
Sponge cakes, which contain no
added fat, such as angel food cake.
sunshine cake, and lemon sponge
cake are usually frozen after baking.
Since these cakes are leavened by
air. frozen batters are not satisfac-

man for the chapter.
Manning added thhat in the last
four months, approximately 400 in
structors had been trained, but even
this rapid increase is not meeting
the need. 1--WE should have at least
1900 instructors to do the job facing
