CHOCOLATE CAKE, OR DEVIL'S FOOD

CHOCOLATE CAKE, OR DEVIL'S FOOD

5 level tablespoonfuls of butter,
1−1/4 cups of sugar,
3−1/2 squares of Baker's Chocolate, (melted),
3 eggs,
1 teaspoonful of vanilla,
3/4 a cup of milk,
3−1/2 level teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
1−1/2 cups of sifted pastry flour.

Cream the butter, add sugar and chocolate, then the unbeaten eggs and
vanilla, and beat together until very smooth. Sift the baking powder with
one−half a cup of the flour, and use first; then alternate the milk and the
remaining flour, and make the mixture stiff enough to drop from the spoon.
Beat until very smooth and bake in loaf in moderate oven.
