MODIFIED YELLOW SPONGE CAKE

This recipe will make a deep mock sponge
cake—or you can turn your batter into two
8-inch square pans (if your pans have been
greased before, they should be buttered and
lightly floured, as taught earlier in-this lesson).
When the cakes have been inverted and
cooled, each one can be split and given a
delicious filling (such as the lemon filling and
others given in Lesson 10). I give the top of
the cake a light sprinkle of icing sugar.

Oven temperature—rather slow, 325°.

LESSON 8

MOCK ANGEL CAKE

A little “‘pullier’” than a true white sponge
cake, this modified angel cake is nevertheless
quite tender and is of very good flavor and
texture for this more economical kind of cake.

It has been said that the mock sponges
can be split and filled; let me mention ice
cream as delectable in this cake—for a gala
moment, whipped cream on top!

Oven temperature—moderate, 350°.
