UPSIDE DOWN CAKE In Tune With The Times By Katharine Baker Just to keep in character With the turn of world events, an upside down cake seems to bedndicated. This cake is topsy-turvey too but a much more pleasant manifestation of that state., than we find reported in the press in • connection with international affairs. This is a versatile cake too, It can be used as a dessert if desired, but the feature which will appeal to housewives most is that it is econom­ ical to make. Only one egg is used and all the other ingredients are stand-bys.

VARIED CUSTARD RECIPES IN­ TRIGUE YOUNGSTERS WHO BALK AT EGGS AND MILK By Betty Barclay Eggs and milk are a vital part of the health diet for all of us. But, all too often, through some strange perv- sersity, the growing youngsters, the very ones who need nourishments the most, develop a dislike fbr eggs or milk in their usual forms. An easy answer to this menu strike, is to ^erve varied types of custards. A short cut that makes custards surer of success and saves time, too, is sweetened con­ densed milk. The sugar and milk are already boiled down to creamy smoothness that blends perfectly with other ingredients. Tliis cuts down the danger of curdling or wateriness to a minimum. Orange Meringue Custard cups (1 can) sweetened condensed milk oranges eggs, separated tbsp, granulated sugar 3 3 3 Blend sweetened condensed milk with diced pulp and juice of oranges. Add well beaten egg yolks. Pour into buttered baking dish. Cover top with meringue, made from, stiffly beaten, egg whites and sugar.
