If it should
brown too fast, cover with thick brown paper. All light cakes require
quick heat, and are not good if baked in a cool oven. Those having
molasses as an ingredient scorch more quickly, consequently should be
baked in a moderate oven. Every cook should use her own judgment, and
by frequent baking she will, in a very short time, be able to tell by
the appearance of either bread or cake whether it is sufficiently
done.
