grounds that other trunk mains In the

This cake, made by the Cottolene recipe, using only Cottolene for short
ening, won the first prize three separate times at the Texas State Fair.
Cottolene recipes are all winners, at home or elsewhere.
Remember, however, that you do not need to use as much Cottolene as
you would of butter or lard Always use one-third less when cooking with Cottolene, for
Cottolene goes much farther. ;
You save money, any way you figure, if you cook with Cottolene, and your food is more
wholesome and more digestible. If you will give Cottolene one fair trial, you will continue to use it for every
thing except on the table.
This is the recipe for the
Three-fourths cup of Cottolene, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, 1 cup mUk, 2 teaspoons baking
powder, 6 whites of eggs beaten to stiff froth, 2 teaspoons lemon extract. Cream 3-4 cup of Cot
tolene with sugar, add milk and flour alternately until well mixed, then add whites of eggs and
extract. Grease tins and flour them; light the gas just as you place cakes in stove. Put all three
layers in and cook at once. Let the cake cool an hour or so before icing.
FILLING Two cups sugar and just enough water to moisten, cook until it threads from the
. spoon. Beat whites of 2 eggs to stiff froth, pour the boiling syrup over the whites and beat con
stantly, then add 1 teaspoonful of lemon extract and 1-2 package shredded cocoanut, and ice your
cake. If icing begins to get too stiff to ice add about 2 tablespoons of boiling water and beat well.
Give yourself the satisfaction of knowing what Cottolene can do. Order a pail of it from
your grocer, also send to us for the interesting FREE Cook Book, HOME HELPS,
written by five leading authorities. Write for it today
