Place over boiling water and beat 7 minutes. Remove from fire and add
desired flavoring. Use this recipe for Golden Jubilee Frosting, Peerless

_Make cakes that need no frostings_, like the fruity Victorian
Applesauce Cake, nut-laden Party Cake, Orange Upside-Down Cake.

_Make small cakes_, like Fudge Bar Cake.

_Forget side frostings_—frost layer cakes between and on top only ...
frost loaves on top.

_Make Orange Upside-Down Cake_ without topping and serve as Cottage
Pudding.

Light, luscious cakes are one of the best ways in which to “spend” some
of your sugar. Now, more than ever, when you make a cake, you want it to
be the _best_ cake. Sugar—and other ingredients, too—are precious,
sometimes scarce. Get the most out of them by using these tested, sure
recipes. Make the finest cakes you ever made—cakes that are well worth
the cup or two of sugar “saved up for their making.”
