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. For
tests see Cocoa Cake recipe on page 25.
