How to Serve a Tasty Cake Continued from page forty-nine included in the "Cakes Which Have Won Prizes" leaflets, mentioned in the box on page 48. I want to tell you her recipe for Premium Cocoanut Cake. But first let me give you a recipe which, in twenty minutes, will turn out a eake that will get "Bravo's." SWEET MUFFIN SPEEDCAKES (Preparation time — 20 minutes) 2 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder *4 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons soft shortening % cup sugar 2 eggs 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon flavoring Cream sugar and shortening. Sift dry ingredients. Blend well-beaten eggs and milk. Add milk and flour to sugar mixture alternately, blending gently. Add flavoring. Spoon into 12 well-greased muffin tins, making each two-thirds full. Slip into a moderate oven — 375 degrees F. — and bake for 15 minutes. Split open. Insert a spoonful of jelly, or 3 seeded prunes, or some fresh chopped berries or other fruit. Top with whipped cream and serve. In regard to cake cautions, almost every young cake baker whom I know swears allegiance to the following practices: 1. She uses STANDARD measuring cups and spoons. 2. She makes LEVEL measurements. 3. She buys a NATIONALLY KNOWN BRAND of cake flour.* And sifts the flour before measuring. 4. She avoids CHILLED eggs, milk and shortening, since those at room temperature make a lighter cake. 5. She beats the cake mixture VIGOROUSLY before flour and baking powder are added; GENTLY afterward. 6. She uses a CONTROLLED OVEN and a definite baking temperature. 7. She has an ELECTRIC MIXER or is "saving up" for one. Now for that Cocoanut "Queen": PREMIUM COCOANUT CAKE (Prize-Winner at Famous Food Show) V2 cup shortening 1% cups sifted sugar 1 teaspoon grated orange rind large whole egg extra egg whites teaspoon salt teaspoons baking powder cups pastry flour cup orange juice cup cold water cup shredded cocoanut mixed with 2 tablespoons flour Set your oven at 359 degrees F. Grease and flour tins. Sift together sifted flour, salt and baking powder onto a folded square of paper. Cream shortening with wooden spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar by table * Upon written request, Grace Ellis will furnish the names of brands of flour — or of any other ingredients listed in her recipes — which she has personally tested in her famous testing kitchen and found satisfactory.— Ed itor. % % % % spoons and beat until very light. Drop in that nice big egg, and the grated rind and beat until mixture is as light and fluffy as whipped cream. Sprinkle a little of the flour over mixture and blend. Add orange juice and water alternately with sifted flour in small quantities, beating gently after each addition, until all has been added. Fold in cocoanut sprinkled with flour, and then stiffly-beaten whites of eggs. (If you use the mixer for beating the eggs, stop as soon as they barely hold a peak.) Pour into greased, floured layer cake or loaf pans. Spread dough slightly toward outside edge of pans so that layers may be flat on top when baked. Bake at 335-350 degrees F. for 35-45 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool. Cut an oblong cake into halves to form layers. Join layers with Gold Coast Orange Filling and ice with California Cocoanut Icing. (Recipes for both are in the leaflet, "Prize-Winning Cake Frostings," mentioned in the box on page 48.) Or frost between layers and on top with: PREMIUM PRUNE ICING Make a boiled or four-minute frosting — (See leaflet, "Cakes and Frostings Made With a Mixer")— using 2 egg whites. Fold in 1V2 cups of cooked and seeded prunes, which have been well drained and cut into quarters, 1 cup of sliced bananas and Vi teaspoon lemon extract. Blend lightly. Spread between white cake layers, and cover top and sides. Decorate cake top with prune sections, slices of banana and marachino cherries. No cake has more masculine fans than good old Chocolate Cake. You'll like the Million-Dollar Devil's Food Recipe in the "Cakes Which Have Won Prizes" leaflet. And you will like this favorite of my own. YEAR-AROUND CHOCOLATE CAKE (This cake is red, and it's good.) V2 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 1 egg well beaten 1% squares chocolate dissolved in Vz cup boiling water and milk to fill the cup 1 teaspoon vinegar 1% cups flour 1 teaspoon soda dissolved in 2 teaspoons vanilla Cream the shortening until it is light and fluffy. (Use your electric beater here, by all means, if you have one.) Add the sugar and cream some more. Add the remaining ingredients in the order given — letting the chocolate mixture cool before adding it. Blend well and bake in a moderate oven (350-375 degrees F.) for 35-45 minutes, the time depending upon whether it is baked in loaf or layer pans. And do write for-your copy of the recipe of Clark Gable's favorite cake. It is easy to make. Serve it and you will find it as popular at your table as Clark Gable is on the screen. Don't forget that I am always happy to get letters inclosing cake queries. Let me send you a special cake recipe for any particular occasion at which you want to serve a surprise cake. You will want a set of the Prize-Winning Cake leaflets, too. Don't forget to enclose a stamped, addressed return envelope with any query. HOLLYWOOD
