Cook it Overnight!
Dear Aunt Daisy, Do you remember the "Custard Fruit Cake" recipe which you gave over the air just before Christmas? Until then I had often tried making Fruit Cakes, but always’ without success. However, I jot down your recipes, and included the Custard Fruit Cake. Now I would not lose that recipe for anything. I made two of the cakes for Christmas, and three since, at odd times, and all were very good; but this is what I would like to pass on to you and others. Last week I learned from a very good Fruit Cake cook this secret. She told me to cook my cake OVERNIGHT. I mixed. my dry ingredients in the morning, and finished the whole thing off at eight o’clock at night; popped the cake into a fairly hot oven, then turned the electric oven to "top off, and bottom low." Then I slept-till seventhirty a.m., when I came back to the oven, and turned the top to low, and bottom off, for half an hour. Then out came the cake, golden brown. It has since been cut for a peep, and it is beautifully cooked. "Overnight Cook,"
