To Make A Delicious Candy Cocoanut Cake
Have your cake layers cold.
Place in your rice steamer one-half grated cocoanut and a chunk of
hand-made cream the size of your fist; stir until mixed and you can
spread it; do not melt it more than necessary. This cake will not dry
out if made with factory cream. I gave this recipe to two London
practical cake bakers; they said it beat any cake recipe they had ever
received.
Put your mind to work and with a little practice you will get up
candies of your own invention, from the knowledge you derive here in
this book.
