Two things are essential to good cake-making — the measures accurate and the heat of the oven right. The success of all cake depends largely upon the heat of the oven. For a thick cake a very slow oven is needed; for a thin layer cake more heat is required.
Do not stir cake; beat it, lifting the batter from the bottom of the bowl at every stroke.
Cream the butter; never melt it. Add a tiny pinch of salt to all cake. If, in baking, the cake rises un- evenly the oven is too hot. If it falls in the middle and is spongy and crumbles, not enough flour was used. If it cracks open in rising too much flour has been used. Add flour last to cake; beating it injures it.
Grease all tins with lard. Dredge all fruit with flour. If cake tins have a tendency to stick, warm them on top of range and rub well with salt.
Have everything in readiness before beginning to mix cake, and get it into the oven as quickly as possible.
