The following rules are given by a' French cook : ' “Try the oven every ten minutes with a piece of white paper. If too hot the paper will blaze up or black- en. When the paper becomes dark brown the oven is fit for small pastryâ€"it is ready for tarts. When that is the color for really nice past*iâ€"it is ready for tarts. When the paper turns dark yellowâ€"the color of dealâ€"you can bake bread, large meat, pics or large pound cakes, While if just tinged the oven is right for sponge cake, meringues, etc. The best kind of fire for baking cake is one of coal or hard wood, and unless it be a cake requiring an extra length of time, no more fuel should be added during the process, at least, avoid adding much ,light fuel, or allowing your fire to "run low.” . If a cake cracks open when bakâ€" ing, it is either because the oven is too hot and cooks the outside beâ€" fore the inside is heated, or the cake was made too stiff. Ilich cakes, containing much butâ€" ter, must be baked in a moderate oven with a decreasing temperature. Sponge cake requires a moderate oven ; if too hot, the cake will al- most aIWays rise too quickly and fall again. The eggs it contains, with no butter to offset them, cause the surface to harden quickly, while the inside is scarcely heated. ’ Most cakes (sponge cakes espe- c1ally)are done when they stop “Singing.” Place your ear close to a half-baked cake and listen, and you will soon detect the sound. Another Way to ascertain whether cake is ready to leave the oven, is to thrust a clean straw into" the thickest part. If it comes out clean the cake is done. Whenever you get a new broom pull out a dozen or more straws to have whenever you want to try a cake. Cakes with molasses in them are more apt to burn than any other kind. * While the molasses to be used is greatly improved by being first boiled, then skimmed. Grease your pans either withwashâ€" cd or melted butter that it may be free from salt. If the cake. requires long baking or the pans be large, line them with thin white papers, spreading it smoothly on the greased tins. - CIl.(')SOL[‘JI‘A CANDI ES.
