When baked, turn the cake upside down on the galley table,
and brush the paper over with a wet brush ; allow this to soak for
about one minute, and the paper can then easily be removed. Then
spread the cake with jam, roll it up, and it will be ready for serving.
A FEW RECIPES FOR MODERN CAKES.
By FREDERIC HOUGHTON,
Author of “ Cakes as you like them,” “ Gateau Sandwich,” etc.
The advantages of using “ Cottolene ” in all cakes and pastries
are so numerous that it would take a deal of space to describe them,
and the user will undoubtedly find fresh benefits from its use almost
daily. It creams up much quicker and lighter than either butter
or lard, and gives a rich, creamy tone to the finished goods. Cakes
which “ burst ” at the top have a rich looking burst, and not a hard,
dry crack such as is derived by the use of lard or maigaiines.

“ Cottolene ” contains neither salt, water, or colouring matter,
is neutral in flavour, and is guaranteed to be absolutely pui e. It
can be applied to any recipe where butter is named, and if you try a
mixing of half butter and half “ Cottolene you will be astonished
at the improvement that has been made by the introduction of this
perfect cake maker.
Here are a few recipes for cakes, and if “ Cottolene is used in
the proportions given, success is certain, and you will never consider
your stores are perfect unless you have a supply with you.
MADEIRA CAKES.
4 ozs. of Cottolene
4 ozs. of butter
8 ozs. of sugar
12 ozs. of flour
5 eggs

Place the Cottolene, butter, and sugar into a bowl and beat it
up till nice and light. Now take your eggs, one at a time, and beat
them in. When this is done take your sifted flour and powder, and
make into a nice smooth mixture. Bake in paper lined tins accord-
ing to the size you choose.
FRUIT GENOA.

6 ozs. of currants
2 ozs. of cut candied peel
Pinch of baking powder✪ Fruit Genoa

A pinch of baking powder✪ Raspberry Sandwiches
Cream up the fats and sugar in a bowl, and beat the eggs in one
at a time, and when all are in, take in the flour, mix this very lightly,
and divide your mixture into well-greased shallow tins. Level off
the mixture so as to have the tops quite even, and bake off in a
moderate oven. When cold, split them through the centre with a
sharp knife, spread on a nice layer of raspberry jam, and place the
top piece in position. Dust with fine sugar and serve.
