"YOU CANNOT EAT YOUR CAKE AND KEEP IT TOO."-Proverb. BEFORE beginning to mix cake prepare all ingredients, so there may be no delay in combining them quickly.
I.
Measure the butter. 2.
Sift and measure the sugar. 3. Sift the flour once before measuring. 4. Measure and sift again with the Baking Powder. 5. Break the eggs one by one, separating them. 6. Butter the tins and dredge a light covering of flour over the butter to insure a brown crust. 7. When fruit is used it should be prepared before other ingredients are ready. Wash, dry, and cover with flour, being sure to shake off excess flour.
