Any- one, who bakes a Christmas cake per- fectly, has accomplished something to be proud of. There are two methods,. of cooking the cakes. Originally, fruit cakes were always baked, but of later years, a great many women steam. them before baking. Personally, 1 think that cake that is cooked com- pletely by baking, has a shade better flavour, but the cake that is steamed first, is a moister cake, and is much less worry to cook, If you have not tried steaming your fruit cake, it is well worth trying. A large cake should be steamed for 3 !hours, then baked in a slow oven for another hour to dry out. Anyone who has a canning rack for their boiler is in luck. Otherwise, to steam two or three cakes, your own and the neighbors' steamers will be called in- to requisition. Thanks be for neigh- bors. To Line The Pans Fruit cake pans should be well lin- ed with paper. The method of lining to line the pan. I like to cut the pa- per wide enough, sothat it will fold across the top, and protect the top of the cake from too much heat. To ciit the lining press the paper over the bottom of the pan. This marks the paper and makes a pattern to cut by. Cut about ; inch larger than the mark. Cut, a stripof paper the height of the pan, if you are steaming the cake. If you are baking it, cut the strip several inches wider. Fit this strip around the edge.. Then put in th,e bottom piece, bringing it up a lit- tle on the side. Butter well. The chief thing to remember in baking your cake, is to use three or four thicknesses of paper and to fold it over the top. To Mix the Cake ' Fruit cake is hard to mix. If you have a bread mixer, use it, as that simplifies the work. If not, take two days to make your cake, that is if it is a large one, as they are heavy to mix. Cream the butter very thorough- ly and add the sugar gradually. Then cream at intervals. 'If themixture is left in a warm room and creamed fre- quently, a few minutes at a time, the work seems so much easier. In any case the cake must' be thoroughly worked, to ensure success.
