CHOCOLATE CAKE, OR DEVIL'S FOOD
* 5 level tablespoonfuls of butter, * 1 ¼ cups of sugar, * 3 ½ squares of Baker's Chocolate, (melted), * 3 eggs, * 1 teaspoonful of vanilla, * ¾ a cup of milk, * 3 ½ level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, * 1 ½ 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.
