MEDFOTJP MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON". FRIDAY. JANUARY 3. 1935. PAC T OF CAKEFAMILY Butter Cakes and Sponge Cakes Have Countless Cousins Bureau Gives Helpful Hints in Making Thara Is an infinite variety of cakes, but there are really only two great family groups. It la helpful to remember that simple fact, says the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, tor cakes and cake-making are one of the most complex fields of cookery. One olass, or family of cakes often called the butter cakes are made with butter or some other fat. The cup cakes, foundation cake, whl'.e cake, chocolate cake, devil's food, pound cake and fruit cake, with all their countless variations, are mem bers of this family. The other class la the sponge family yellow apoiige, angel food, chocolate' feather cake, and so on. These cakes are made without fat. In the so-called butter cakes, the cake mixture la really a rich, sweet muffin batter. It contalna the same Ingredients fat, flour, liquid, egjs and leavening but with more fat. more sugar and more eggs than In muffin batter. All the cakes of this family are made with - these same basic Ingredients, In different propor tions according to the cake texture desired. A cake recipe must be balanced, however. When the quantity of one Ingredient is changed, others must be changed, when something Is added, to give a different flavor or texture, the quantities of all Ingredients must be chocked up with reference to what the new Ingredient supplies, using less fat, for instance, if nuts are add ed to the batter, lest flour If choco late Is added, and sc. on. It Is because of the effecta of the different Ingred ients on each 'other that there are so many cake recipes, despite the fact that the basic ingredients are always the same. Many cakemakers thing of the but ter cakes as four types, according to richness plain cake, "standard" or "foundation cake, "rich" cake, and pound cake. The plain cake haa least fat only 4 cup of fat to 1 cup of augar, 34 cups of flour, 1 egg, and cup of liquid. Because this cake has so little fat, and dries out so quickly it is used fresh, oftentimes hot as cup cakes, cottage pudding, Washing ton pie or Boston cresm ple, and pineapple upside down cake. It is a good batter to use for "surprise cakes" little cup cakea with dried fruit, or blueberries, or nuts. In the center. This recipe calls for cake flour, aa do the other recipes here discussed a soft-flour, with weak gluten. "Standard" or foundation cake. Is richer than plain cake It has mere fat, more sugar, and more eggs. The proportions run thus: cup 'of fat, 1"4 cups of sugar, 2 or 3 eggs. a 3-3 cups of flour, 1 cup of liquid. This batter is a good basis for nut cake, spice cake, or chocolate cake. For chocolate flavored batter, however, the recipe must be changed to reduco the amount of flour, because of the tarch in the chocolate. "Rich" cake, aa some cakemakers flail it, is really the old-time cup cake recipe 'that calls for "one of butter, two of sugsr, three of flour, and four eggs," also a cup of liquid. With cake flour, the liquid In this recipe is re duced to 4 cup. so the batter will not be too thin, but with all-purpose flour a full cup is needed. This battel makes a good rich "yellow-batter cake," or, by leaving out the egg yolks. It makes the standard while cake. Made with sour milk and sods Instead of sweet milk, and with less baking powder, It Is the basis for devil's food cake also. Pound cake, the richest of all, Is made by the old recipe of a pound of each ingredient butter, sugar, flour and eggs but there Is no liquid in this recipe and no baking powder or sods. Pound cake Is leavened a little by the air that la beaten into the egga and Into the batter, which is leavening enough for the typical pound-cake texture. Fruit cake Is pound cake with nuts and fruits added to the batter, and Is heavier, of course, because the fruits and nuts do not permit the batter to rise. With the fruits and nuta. this mixture retains moisture so well that the Chrlstmaa fruit cake mar be mde weeks In advance and stored away In a tight box to let the flavors blend. , Mixing the batter Is, of course, a very important part of the cake making process. For one thing the Ingredients before mixing should be allowed to stand In the kitchen until they are all at room temperature. In the richer cafcs, the longest and must careful method of mixing gives the best and finest cake texture, says the Bureau, and that method Is: Cream the fat by Itself until It la soft. And the sugar, and cream thla mixture until It Is light and fluffy. Then add the egg yolks, well beaten. Next add the flour sifted with baking powder and salt and liquid alternately, a little at a time, to prevent separation of the fat. Beat well after each addi tion of flour. Fold In the stiffly beaten egg whites lst of all. and do not stir after that. For plain caaes. mix the batter as if for muffins. Melt the fst. fix It well with the liquid and the eggs. 81ft the dry Ingredients totether, and combine the mixtures, stirring un'i! thoroURhly blended. Sponge cakes are a class by them selves because they hare no "ihcrien Ing." and are leavened with itr. fhef are essentially meringues rlth flour added.

Add the rest of the salt to the egg whites, beat stiff, and fold Into rhe mixture. An angel food cake has a little more sugar (1 1-4 cup), the whiles of 8 to 10 eggs, a teaspoon of cream of tartar (Instead of the lemon juice), and a teaspoon of vanilla. The pur pose of the acid Is to make the egg whites more extensive, so they will take up more air. Baking temperature for cakes de pends upon Beveral factors and spe cial directions are needed In some cases. Because of their size and shape, cup cakes and most of the layer cakes will bake evenly in a moderately hot oven, about (376 degrees P.), but this Is higher than Is desirable for loaf cakes, especially those with a good many eggs. For a white cake, baked In a tube pan. a moderate tempera ture, about (350 degrees F.) is usually best. Chocolate cakes need a very moderate oven (300 - 325 F.) because of the chocolate, and fruit cakes a slow oven. (250 275 F ) because they are so dense. A sponge cake of any kind should bake slowly because It contains so many eggs and the oven temperature should be very moderate -(325 degrees F.) 4 Roffuedale ROGUEDALE. Jan. 3.- (Spl.) "Roguedale" Is the name chosen for a tract of land comprising 20 acres, at the north end of the Shady Cove bridge over Rogue river, on the Cra ter lake highway, 21 miles out of Medford. The beautiful tract, with a half mile of river frontage, with the highway running directly through It, Is being platted by the owner. D. E. Millard, into Jackson county's new est towns! te. Mrs. Llllle Anderson and sons have moved Into the Webb Clark summfci home residence In Shady Cove for the winter.

Blakrslee Associated Prejs Science Editor ST, LOUIS, .Tan. 3.-iPj Growing identical twin plants, a feat un known in nature, was announced to the American Association for the Ad vancement jf Science here today. Identical twins, common among humans, and In the animal kingdom, are halves of the same egg. or ovum, that produce the children so similar they sometimes cannot be told apart. In plants, by a discovery made At the University of Michigan, this is accomplished by cutting embryonic seeds into two bits, so small thoy are barely visible without a micro scope. Long Sought Result Attempts to do this have bem made by scientist for 30 years with out success. It has been something earnestly sought by botanists to match , the "tissue culture" by which living flesh Is made to live immortally in test tubes. Professor Carl D. La Rue, of Michi gan, solved the plant problem by bor rowing an idea from the living "tis sue culture" technique. There em bryonic organs or tissues always show extra powers of growth and life. He tried embryonic seeds. These are unripe seeds, whose structures have Just barely begun to form. Dandelion, ox-eye daisy, wild lettuce and tomato seeds were halved. They were not planted at first, but were placed in a special mixture' of agar, salts, sugar and the recently j discovered hormone which causes plants to grow. The halved seeds grew, j at first into perfectly formed but exceedingly tiny plants. Transplanted! into soil these grew normally as oth- i er plants. Caesarian Operation Then Professor La Rue performed Caesarian operations on some grass seeds. He extracted the embryos from the unrlpened seeds at a period like that of taking a human child from its mother at two months. These grans seeds furnished a sur prise by growing into normal grass seeds as promptly as fully ripened grass seed. The Caesarian operation seeds did not require any time to complete their development which presumably was interrupted by pre mature removal. "These results," Professor La Rue reported, "are of great Importance because they open up a new oppor tunity for study in almost all fields of botany, such as physiology, genet ics, embryology, morphology, anat omy and pathology." 2 PLANS ENTERTAINMENT Townsend Club No. 3 will give an entertainment Tuesday. January 7 at 7:30 p. m. In Guild Hall. North Oak dale and Sth street, which promtscs to be a very enjoyable affair. A box social will be held following a very short business session.

NASH has always built along sound engineer ing lines. The announcement, therefore, of the new Nash "400" motor, described as the "first new kind of automobile motor in years," comes with interest not only to the motor car industry but also to the motor car buying public. In addition to several new mechanical improve ments, all models of the new Nash have been re-styled in design. Thousands of Nash owners in all parts of the Coast use Hi-Octane gasoline exclusively because of its remarkable purity, smoothness and anti-knock power.

MO SPEED GOVERNOR HINTED TO END PERILS ALBANY. N. Jan. 8. P Gov ernor Lehman told the Incoming 1936 legislature that unless highways are quickly made safer In the state he will favor mechanical limitation of automobile speed. He declared some New Yorkers aie beginning to be afraid to travel on highways. "The situation la Intolerable," he said, and announced he would rec ommend a substantial Increase In the state police force so highway patrols may be enlarged.

' Checkers were stationed at the fair grounds on the Paclflo highway, near Jacksonville and at Grants Pass. Vinson Orln Hotell of Phoenix and Dick Petersen and William Walden of this city, truck drivers, charged with violation of the basic speed law, were each fined $1 and 8450 costs! in Justice court yesterday upon their 1 plea of guilty. Hotell and Petersen were granted time In which to pay. It was charged the truck drivers were exceeding the basic speed In residential districts. 4 SUPREMACY FLAG When CCC company S94.
