Cool to lukewarm Add vanilla and beat until creamy and right consistency to spread. (Use level measurements for all materials.) For Perfect Results Use BAKING POWDER (Absolutely Pure CAKES 15 CARE HINTS ON MIXING CAKE Creaming the shortening means mashing and beating it with a spoon until it has the texture of very thick cream. Then add the sugar, and continue creaming the mixture until it is light and fluffy. Add a small amount of sifted flour and baking powder to the creamed mixture, before the milk, so as to prevent .separation. If this separation occurs, the cake will be coarser grained than otherwise. Beat the mixture after each addition of flour and milk to insure a fine grained cake. Do not beat the egg whites until ready to use them, or the air that has been beaten into them will be lost. Eggs may be beaten most successfully if they are cold. Beat the whites until they are stiff enough to hold up in peaks, but not dry. If egg whites are beaten until dry, the cake will not be as light, fluffy, and moist as it should be. Fold beaten egg whites into the cake mixture. When egg yolks are used in a butter cake, beat them until thick and lemon colored, add them to the thoroughly creamed shortening and sugar, and beat the mixture well. EMILYS SPICE CAKE y2 c :.
