Culinary Arts of
Prisoners Produce
Wonderful Cake
- " . ?
PORTLAND, July 13 (UP):
LI.' Charles R'. Stafford, of Port
land, a prisoner-of , the Germans
for 18 months, offered his culin
ary abilities' to ration-weary"
housewives across the nation to
day. While irt a German prison
er of war camp in western Ger
many, the AAF' pilot picked up
some revolutionary ideas of cook
ing. One of Stafford's favorite reci
pes, cooked up through the inval
uable aid of Red Cross packages,
was a sort of fruit cake a la stal
agluft, which lie says, "Is enough
to last six hungry Yanks until
they get tired of it."
"You grind up 12 boxes of
service biscuits they are the K
ration wafers of whole wheat,
soy beans and vitamins and you
add a pound of dissolved pow
dered milk. You stir this up into
a thick paste. Then you add a
pound and a half to. two pounds
of German beet sugar, 'three
pounds of raisins, a pound of
slewed prunes. : Then you grind
up a dozen bicarbonate of-' soda
pills, tricked from the Germans,
and dump them in the batter to
raise the dough a little."
"After you bake the cake you
melt some chocolate, bars taken
from D ration packages and you
have a-eiiocolatc-. frosting," Staf
ford said.' ...
Stafford said the results tasted
like fruitcake a real heavy one
at that. In fact the cake; which
measures about 18 inches long, a
foot wide and four inches deep,
weighs just about 25 pounds.
