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. SWISS ROLL 4 eggs 4 ozs. sugar 4 ozs. flourSwiss Roll jam 157 “ 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.
