CAKE-MAKING, BAKING, ETC. 5
Eggs. —Eggs must be fresh and well-beaten; and it is claimed that all cakes are better if the yolks and whites are beaten separately. This may be true, to a certain extent, but my wife who has made cake for me (or seen that it was done as she desired) for over forty years, claims, and I have no doubt of the fact, that the difference, for general use, is not sufficient to pay for the extra trouble; while, for nice cake, for special occasions, it may be best to beat separately.
Spices are always to be ground, or very finely pulverized, where the old fashioned mortar is still in use.
