The Beaver River Power Co CALDWELL, IDAHO Practical Baking Lessons CAKES, (Continued) In last week's lesson, I gave full directions and two simple recipes for cake baking. The cr essentials in making cakes, are to use good material*' to measure carefully, and to use care in baking, a cak should look appetizing. A Careless cook will seldom make a good cake or one that looks good. It i 3 V/or .™ while to use a little extra care and attention in order . bave a nice appearing cake. 0 White Cake V, cup butter 1 CUP granulated sugar cup milk or water "Whites of three eggs 2 cups sifted pastry flour 3 level teaspoonfuls K Ç Baking Powder 1 teaspoonful vanilla extract. To mix white cake, measure the flour ana s!it it at least three times with the baking powder. Next cream the butter and sugar together until creamy and white; then add the water or milk and the flour mixture a little at b time, alternately to this creamed c.ixture, stirring it all the time. After all moisture and flour are added and. the batter is perfectly smooth and glossy, beat the whites of tho eggs until they are very stiff, adding these to the batter last. Bake in two medium sized layer pans ana put to gether with chocolate, pineapple or plain icing. Simple Chocolate Filling IM cups of powdered or confectioner's tfugar and enough milk or water to dissolve the sugar. Work it into a smooth paste by stirring, then add 2 tablespoonfuls of melted cooking chocolate and when smooth, spread upon the cake. To melt the chocolate break iu lumps, place in a cup sot in boiling water or over the steam of the tea kettle. Uncooked Pineapple Icing yi cup grated pineapple 1 egg white (unbeaten) * 2 cups powdered or confectioner's sugar Put ecB white in bowl with the pineapple; take a rotary egg beater and beat the sugar in u very little at a time and continue beating until icing is stiff enough to spread. This i .'ing is improved by long beating and adding eugar gradually, not much at a time. This recipe may be varied by using X cup of any Lina of crushed fruit, such as grated sour apple, strawberries, peaches, bananas, orange Juice, or lemon juice diluted one half with water. Boiled Icing Ü cup boiling water White of 1 egg 1 cup granulated sugar. Stir sugar and boiling water until sugar Is dissolved; put over fire and cook without r'.irring until the syrup will form a soft eponcy boll when dropped ip cold wateii then pour into the white of egg slowly, beating constantly until stiff enough to cpreod. flavor to suit and spread upon the cake; a little lemon juice added to the syrttr makes tlie icing spongy. This makes enougl for two layers. Instead of M cup water use U cup of any fruit juice to make different rings. Nuts, raisins or figs can be added if dssircd. Egglei» Icing 2 cups powdered or confectioner's sugar; juice of }i lemon and water, cream or milk t J soften su^ar to consistency to spread. This cannot fail for if one should get it too soft, simply add a little more sugar. This can also bo made with any kind of fruit juice to soften sugar instead of water, cream or tnillr. *1 Qold Cab H cup butter Yolks of 4 eggs X cup sugar H cup milk or water 1 cup flour, less 2 tubli'spoonfuls 2 level teaspoonfuls K G Baking Powder Grated rind of orange ConHght Uli 61/ Jaqihi» Ufa.

The beating kills all egg tast<f »> improves the texture of the cake r ' Cake can be baked in a small tube' nan "* in layers, using the same directions for h of the oven aaln the white cake above. Chocolat» Cake 54 cup butter H teaspoonful aalt 1 cup sugar IX cups pastry fl u „. Yolks of 2 eggs, beaten light 23 i level teanpoonfuli K C Baking p 0W( i . Whites of 2 eggs, beaten dry 2 squares ordinary cooking chocolate, mettan 1 teaspoonful vanilla extract X cup milk or water To mix: Sift together three time« flour and baking powder; cream butter and sugar, add beaten yolks of the eggs and adJ these to the creamed mixture, then thj melted chocolate, and alternately thj moisture and flour and the well-beaten whites of the ears last. Bake in layers, orloaj Things to Remember Always have the cake batter so It will drop easily from the spoon, adding more moisture if the amount called forby tta recipe doesn't make it soft enough. CÎka batter that is reasonably soft wul become much lighter. Always use a to guard against cake falling, assured of a light fine-textured cake. KC Baking Powder is a modern double taito baking powder, always giving unifona results. It is a baking powder with two distinct raises, first when moisture ia added, and again when heat is applied. This sustains the raising until the batter ia cooked, when, of course, it cannot fall. Yolks and whites of eggs should be beaten separately. Use a rotary beater for the yolks and a flat or spoon whip for tho whites. Never grease tho sides of the cake tina. Let the batter stick to the sides and cut loose with a knife when baked. This keeps the layers even. If the sides of the pan are greased, the cake will pull away, making the top of the layer narrower than the bottom, nnd making it impossible to stack the layers evenly. Bear in miiid that baked dough cannot rise. Always start baking with a low flame or moderate oven, and allow the cake to double in size before increasing the heat; then büke with a hot oven until the top ia brown, and the center responds to the louch. To eut a cake when still warm or quits fresh, dip the blade of the knife in hot or cold water and cut with the damp blada This prevents the cake from stickinf ta the knife.
