TENDER TEXTURE. Swans
Down Cake Flour Is essential In all
cakes, for soft, tender texture. Spe
cially milled from carefully selected
soft winter wheat. Swans Down is
velvety-smooth, fine, and snow
white. It contains only a small
amount of delicate, tender gluten
very different from the tough gluten
of ordinary flour. This tender gluten allows a Swans
Down Cake to rise quickly to light, feathery perfection.
FLUFFY LIGHTNESS. Use Calumet, the Double-
Actlng baking powder, to give your cake
the fine even grain, and airy lightness
that will win the judges favor. Calumet
brings sure success . . . every time ... be
cause It acts twice. More economical
too. Only a teaspoon to a cup of sifted .
flour that's the standard Calumet proportion.
