A Perfect Cake!
Cake when properly made of good wholesome materials is a nourishing and excellent food. While some prefer a light, fluffy cake and others a moist cake, everyone will agree that to be good a cake must be evenly baked, the crust thin and without cracks and an even brown, the texture fine and even-grained without being close and above all the flavour sweet and delicate.
To always have a perfect result without worry and effort is within every ones reach if certain simple rules are followed.
1. Plan so all materials and utensils are at hand when wanted.
2. Choose only the best materials. The best is most economical in the end.
3. Follow directions exactly as given.
4. Be systematic and accurate in all measurements so that results will never vary.
5. Use level measures for all materials.
6. If inexperienced choose a plain cup cake without frosting for your first attempt.
7. Remember that the baking of a cake is as important as the mixing and an oven thermometer is a good investment.
8. Layer cake tins and loaf cake tins come in various sizes, so note how much each recipe makes before deciding on tin to use.
9. All cakes should be baked in the center of the middle shelf__where the heat is uniform. Layer and small cakes should bake quickly in a hot oven and loaf cakes should bake more slowly in a moderate oven.
