Baking Cakes.
As a rule, the housewife is so anxious to have her cake done before it really is baked, that by frequent opening and closing the oven door she lowers the temperature of tho oven, and causes the cake to fall in its tin, and thus become “ sad.” Here then is a- word of advice First be certain that the oven is of the desired temperature, and supplied with sufficient fuel to maintain that temperature for the time it is expected the cake will require for baking. When the time ..has elapsed and it is thought the cake is ready, look at it, and judge somewhat by its colour, bub, at the same time, push well into the middle of the cake through one of the cracks in the top of it, a good stiff straw. Remove the straw immediately, and if the straw comes away quite clean, the cake is finished.
