CAKE
The baking of cake is of primary importance. Regulate the oven before
putting materials together. When a cake is baked it shrinks from the
sides of the pan. A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark
is another indication that the cake is baked. Small and layer cakes
require a hotter oven than loaf cakes.
Where fewer eggs than called for are used, increase the amount of Dr.
Price's Baking Powder about one teaspoon for each egg omitted.
If an unsalted shortening is used take slightly less and add a small
quantity of salt.
Sift flour before measuring and use level measurements for all
materials.
