Chocolate Cake Recipe

MISS M. A. RITCHIE.



Dissolve two ounces of chocolate in five tablespoonfuls boiling water.

Cream half a cup of butter adding gradually one and a half cups of

sugar; add the yolks of four eggs, beat thoroughly; then add the

chocolate, half a cup of cream or milk, a cup and three quarters of

flour, two rounding teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of

vanilla. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, stir them

carefully into the mixture, and it is ready to bake either in a loaf-pan

or in three layer cake pans. Frost with boiled icing flavored with

chocolate.
