Baked in a Box.

If you would like your picnic cake to arrive unbroken, try baking it in one of the five and one-eighth inch by eight and one-half inch tin wafer boxes. If the box is filled half full of cake dough It will rise nearly even with the top, leaving just enough room for icing. The cover can then be put on and the cake will arrive in perfect condition. A good recipe for the above sized box is the following: One cupful of sour cream, one cupful of sugar, one-balf cupful of crushed walnut meats, a level teaspoonful each of soda, baking powder and salt, one well beaten egg and enough flour for a stiff batter. Spice to taste. The cake should be baked in a slow oven until it doubles In size, then the heat should be turned on to finish.
