Win Their Hearts With This Cake
*
JUT+t .A
BEAU CATCHER CAKE ? Easy to bake with prepared mix.
By CECILY BHOWNSTONE
Associated Press Food Editor
CAPTURE THEIR HEARTS
with this Cupid's cake! It will
look and taste scrumptious at a
Valentine party and you can get
a lot of servings out of it.
To make it, we used two of
the new 20-ounce packages of cake
mix to which you add fresh eggs.
One package makes a generous
nine-inch square for the base.
The other package makes two
round layers. With the help of a
paper pattern, fashion a heart out
ot one of these round layers for
the top of your Cupid's cake.
Store the other round layer away
tor dessert another day ? cake
made from this mix keeps well.
To be sure that your cake frost
ing is glamoursly smooth and sat
iny, and has a marshmallowy tex
ture, follow this simple technique.
Alter you have beaten and cooked
the frosting, pour it into.ta clean
bowl without scraping the sides
of the pan. Add the vanilla and
beat another minute or until the
frosting is just the right spread
ing consistency. Transferring to
another bowl in this way elimin
ates the possibility of stirring in
the sugar crystals that collect
around the sides of the saucepan.
And here's a decorating tip.
Use freshly sterilized tweezers to
put on those tiny red cinnamon
hearts with precision. It's so easy
to do this way, and gives such a
trim effect.
Let your heart show this Val
entine's Day?especially on your
cake!
