CHAPTER XXII
10/13

When baking Angel cake always be sure the oven bakes good brown under bottom of cake.

If cake does not crust under bottom it will fall out when inverted and shrink in the fall." "I never invert my pans of Angel cake on taking them from oven," said Mary's Aunt, "as the cakes are liable to fall out even if the pan is not greased.

I think it safer to allow the pans containing the cakes to stand on a rack and cool without inverting the pan.
"Suppose, Mary, we bake a Gold cake over the recipe from 'Cake Secrets,' as eggs are plentiful; but we haven't any Swansdown flour.

I think we will wait until we get it from the city." GOLD CAKE.
Yolks of 8 eggs; 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of butter, 3/4 cup water, 2-1/2 cups of Swansdown cake flour, 2 heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoonful lemon extract.

Sift flour once, then measure.
