Electric Beating
Dear Aunt Daisy, I heard your request for help to the woman who is having trouble with her sponges made with an electric beater, I
have found that by leaving the baking powder until the very last, I always have good results. The length of time for beating the eggs and sugar doesn’t seem to matter, but the more the better, then adding the flour and butter (melted in hot water) alternately; and then the baking powder last. As soon as it is mixed in, which is only about a couple of seconds, switch off. I found this out by experience, and that if beaten" tvo long the mixture would go heavy and
battery.

Dear Aunt Daisy, I heard you speak of a woman whose sponge mixture was very dry when cooked. Your questioner has probably beaten the eggs and sugar too long. I am a baker and we always beat our sponge mixture till the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is fluffy-not nearly as long as hand’ beating. The machine revolves hundreds of times faster than hand beating.
