3 eggs.
1½ cup sugar.
½ cup butter.
¾ cup sweet milk.
3 cups flour.
1 teaspoonful cream of tartar.
2 squares of chocolate.
1 teaspoonful vanilla.
½ teaspoonful soda.
Grate your chocolate, and to it add half of the milk, and set on stove
and stir until dissolved. Then stir in half cup of your sugar and set
away to cool. Sift the soda in the flour three times. Beat the yolks
very stiff. Warm the remainder of the sugar in the oven a little;
then cream thoroughly with the butter, then add the beaten yolks to
this and stir in well. Add the cream of tartar to the whites of the
eggs after beating them a little and then beat until stiff. Add the
remainder of the milk to the chocolate and stir in well, and then pour
it into the creamed butter and sugar, add flour and beat very hard.
Then stir in the egg whites and bake in two layers and lay up with
Oriental frosting.
