MARIE FOGLE, Twisting Department, is shown in the kitchen of her residence on Union Road adding the finishing touches 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.” Little Leaguers (Continued From Page 1) Series for Little Leaguers will start August 24, in Williamsport, Pa., the town where Little League Baseball was founded in 1939 by Carl Stotts.
