CHOCOLATE CAKE

2 ounces of chocolate,

4 eggs,

½ a cup of milk,

1 teaspoonful of vanilla,

½ a cup of butter,

1 ½ cups of sugar,

1 heaping teaspoonful of baking powder,

1 ¾ cups of flour.

Dissolve the chocolate in five tablespoonfuls of boiling water. Beat the butter to a cream, add the yolks, beat again, then the milk, then the melted chocolate and flour. Give the whole a vigorous beating. Now beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth, and stir them carefully into the mixture; add the vanilla and baking powder. Mix quickly and lightly, turn into well-greased cake pan and bake in a moderate oven forty-five minutes.— From Mrs. Rorer's Cook Book.
