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.
Chocolate Frosting:
* 1 square of Baker's Chocolate,
* Pinch of salt,
* 5 tablespoonfuls of boiling water,
* 1 teaspoonful of vanilla,
* About three cups of sifted confectioners' sugar.
Melt chocolate in bowl over tea-kettle, add water, salt and vanilla, and when smooth add the sugar, and heat until very glossy. Make the frosting stiff enough to spread without using a wet knife. It will keep indefinitely.
