CAKE
The baking of cake is of primary importance. Regulate the oven before putting materials together. When a cake is baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan. A light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another indication that the cake is baked. Small and layer cakes require a hotter oven than loaf cakes.
Where fewer eggs than called for are used, increase the amount of Dr. Price's Baking Powder about one teaspoon for each egg omitted.
