to her favorite cake called “Mary’s Pound Cake”.
What’s Your Hobby?. . . .
Mrs. Fogle Tempts Her Friends
With Tasty Homemade Cakes
IN SPITE of the added heat of
her kitchen stove oven, Mrs. Marie
Fogle of the Twisting Department
will be found quite often in her
kitchen these warm summer after
noons going about her favorite
hobby: cake baking.
After leaving her first shift job
at Firestone Textiles (she has
been with the Company since
1935) she likes nothing better than
to don her apron, get out her cook
book, mixing bowls and cake pans.
With these gadjets—and a liberal
sprinkling of cooking know-how
gathered through her experience as
mother and housewife—Mrs. Fogle
produces for her family and
friends a wide assortment of
tempting, eye-appealing cakes. An
artist with the spatula, she isn’t
satisfied until her cakes have a
perfect icing to match the usually
perfect product underneath.
Her favorite recipe is for a cake
called “Mary’s Pound Cake”. This
recipe calls for 2 cups-sugar, 1
cup-butter, 3 cups-flour, 1 cup-
sweet milk, 5 eggs, 1 tablespoon-
baking powder, and 1 teaspoon-
vanilla flavoring. Instructions
are: Cream the sugar and butter,
add sweet milk, baking powder,
flour and mix well. Add one egg
at a time until all are added.
Mrs. Fogle’s recommended icing
for this cake consists of 2 egg
whites, 1/4 teaspoon-salt, 1/4 tea
spoon-cream of tartar, and 1 tea
spoon-vanilla. To make this icing,
beat the egg whites, add other in
gredients and cook in a double
boiler.
In addition to pound cake, Mrs.
Fogle enjoys making Japanese
fruit cake, which incidentally is
more difficult to prepare. The
fruit cake, however, is a seasonal
treat, whereas the pound cake is
popular year-round.
“Cake baking”, says Mrs. Fogle,
“may not be the coolest summer
time hobby, but you forget the
work and the temperature when
you take the first bite of a cake
that comes out just perfect.”
