The Over-baked Cake
Dear Aunt Daisy, I heard the request from a "Young Marrried" about her over-baked Christmas cake. There is no necessity to turn the cake into pudding. If she puts two or three slices of bread in the tin, for a few weeks, changing the bread each week, the cakes will be quite moist. At times I have not had tins large enough for my cakes; I have ‘therefore left them in the tins they were baked in, placing the bread on top, holding it on with waxed lunch paper and then wrapping around with a face towel. Last year I ‘follbwéd the latter way with the cakes I had made for a "Twenty-first," a Christmas, and a wedding cake, to be sure they would be all right. Many years ago I thus kept a cake that I wanted to try, and after 12 months the cake was like rich puddine!
