. Too early? Not at all; now is exactly the time to be baking the indi-
vidual fruit cakes you love to make for those special holiday gifts.
Wise homemakers know fruit cake improves with age and always
allow at least a month for the cakes to “ripen.” However, keeping cakes
as fresh and moist as when they came from the oven can be troublesome.
Now you can solve this problem by using a new saran plastic food
wrap. This sparkling clear moisture-proof film provides perfect protec-
tion; cakes can be wrapped for storage in a jiffy because the film clings
to itself, needs no rubber bands or string. If cake must be handled con-
siderably, a transparent tape will insure a neat package. e
When minutes are precious during the holiday rush, simply bring out
the cakes, add a gay satin ribbon, and your glamorous gift is ready.
, See how easy? Just use your own favorite recipe or try this one which
makes five one-pound cakes or, if you prefer, one large ring mold:
Christmas Fruit Cake
Cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla. Add the eggs, one at a
time, beating after each. Sift together the dry ingredients. Sift about
half over the fruit in a large bowl and stir to coat well. Add remainder
to creamed mixture. Combine the two, stirring to blend evenly. Bake in
moderate oven (300°F;) two hours for small cakes or 3 hours for large.
Cool; decorate with Christmas motif; wrap in saran, leaving top clear
to show decoration; and store in freezer or cool place until time for
jiving. For best flavor allow at least one month for “ripening.”
You’ll find these little fruit cakes in their glamorous holiday costumes
perfect for all those extra remembrances on your gift list.
