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

Add the rest of the salt to the egg

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.)

TWIN PLANTS BY
SEVERING SEEDS
Feat Unknown in Nature
Performed Through New
Technique Opens Vast
New Study Opportunity
By Howard 'iV. 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."

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. Drive into
the neighborhood Richfield station for a tankful. -
