Cake Tips:

heaping without packing or tapping, then level off with straight edge
of knife.

2. Beating times for cakes should be followed precisely; if times are
shortened, cake will lack structure; if lengthened, cake will be
tough.

3. Cakes can be well wrapped and frozen for up to 2 weeks.

4. Bake as cupcakes in 18 paperlined muffin cups in 375F 190C oven
for 20 minutes.
