A VALENTINE for your family?
Then bake this cake. It has two
layers of nut-filled chocolate and
it is somewhat like brownies in
texture and flavor. Fill and cover
the cake with pink peppermint
frosting and arrange a pretty heart
of 'tiny pink candies over the top.
We used nonfat dry milk in the
cake, sifting it in with the dry
ingredients. Nothing new about that
?we've often suggested this meth
od. But we did try something a lit
tle different in making the frost
ing: we used the dry milk solids in
it. too.
If you are serving a Valentine
meal to your family, you might
Start off with Tomato Bouillon.
Make the soup with tomato juice,
chicken bouillon cubes and such
seasonings as minced onion and
celery, Worcestershire sauce and
basil. Cut heart shapes out of toast,
spread them with butter and run
them under the broiler a minute or
so: float the toast heart on the soup
just before serving.
The main (course for your Val
entine lunch or supper might be
slices of cooked chicken or smoked
turkey arranged over stalks of
cooked broccoli. Cover them both
with a rich cream sauce, sprinkle
the -top with lots of grated Par
mesan cheese and place in the even
until bubbly hot. If the top doesn't
brown enough fpr your taste, run
the casserole under the broiler.
Salad? How about romaine and
pink grapefruit? For dessert, this
Sweetheart Fudge Nut Cake.
If the cake is to be served for
an evening supper, you might pref
ace it with chicken salad garnish
ed with hearts cut out of canned
jellied cranberry sauce. Or if you
prefer to serve sandwiches instead
of a salad, cut the bread in heart
shapes and use a filling of deviled
ham or one of ground bologna mix
ed with finely diced celery, pickle
relish, prepared Bahama-type mus
tard and mayonnaise.
