MRS. RORER'S CHOCOLATE CAKE 2 ounces of chocolate, 4 eggs, ½ a cup of milk, 1 teaspoonful of vanilla, ½ a cup of butter, 1½ cups of sugar, 1¾ cups of four, 1 heaping teaspoonful of baking powder.
Dissolve the chocolate in five tablespoonfuls of boiling water. Cream butter and add sugar gradually, add the yolks, beat again, then the milk, then the melted chocolate and four. 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.
