MRS. JOHNNY HALFORD
Aunt Biddie
Kitchen
A lady next to me at the church supper the other night was looking
over the spread of stuff on the table. “I like anything,” she said, “as
long as it’s made out of flour and sugar and grease.”
My sentiments, exactly. That is why, 1 guess, so many of our recipes
we’ve saved are for something baked, and most of it something sweet.
The recipe drawer even smells of the ghosts of Christmases past, when
dabs escaped from beater or spoon and stuck to the recipe, even
though the cook almost never did.
Our finest cakes we always make at Christmas. We make coconut
cakes, with hand-grated coconut on top and lemon jelly filling. And
that is an all-day job. We make chocolate cakes; my mother had learn
ed from her elders the habit of always taking a special gift to the
mother of a newborn baby: a plate with half a chocolate cake, and half
a coconut cake, put together. I don’t know where that notion started,
but it sure was nice.
One cook in the family made a Lane cake every Christmas, and that
was something most too fine for words. 1 have never duplicated hers,
but here is one way:
LANE CAKE
3 cups cake flour, sifted with
3 teaspoons baking powder and
1 teaspoon salt
Vs cup shortening, or half butter
1% cups sugar
4 egg whites
IVa cups sweet milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease three layer cake pans and put
waxed paper in the bottoms. Cream the shortening, add the sugar and
cream it together. Beat in the vanilla. Beat in the egg whites, one at a
time - an electric mixer really spares the muscle. Add flour mixture
..nd milk, alternately, ending with flour. Beat the batter well, and pour
it evenly into the pans. Bake the layers - begin testing for doneness at
about 20 minutes, and let them cool while you start the filling:
Chop fine or coarsely grind together
1 cup pecans
V4 cup candied cherries
1 cup golden raisins
Put a cup of sugar and a cup of water together in a pot on the stove.
Bring it to a boil, add a pinch of salt and stir in the fruit, stirring till it’s
thick. Stir in a spoon of butter and about a fourth of a cup rum, and
pour on the first and second layers of the cake. Top with third layer
and when it’s all thoroughly cool, ice it with thick boiled white icing.
Best if it stands a day before cutting.
