Clean Cups……..

To remove coffee or tea stains, wet the cup and sprinkle in some baking soda. Scrub the baking soda around with a cloth, then rinse the cup. Repeat if needed. Or if you want a second strategy, fill the vessel with warm water, drop in two effervescent denture cleaning tablets and by morning, the stains should be gone.

* I use this on coffee and tea cups, works great!

What makes cakes rise and fluffy…..

Most cakes will call for a leavening agent like baking powder or baking soda. These create the bubbles you need for the cake to rise. If the flour you use is self-raising, it already has a leavening agent in it. Make sure your butter is room temperature, and beat the butter and sugar together until properly creamed.

* Thank you to May L. for passing this Hint along.
