(* All measurements should be level.)
- 5 level tablespoonfuls
of butter,
- 1 * cups of sugar,
- 3 * squares of Baker's
Chocolate,
(melted),
- 3 eggs,
- 1 teaspoonful of
vanilla,
- * a cup of milk,
- 3 * level teaspoonfuls
of baking powder,
- 1 * 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 the recipe.

Note: These recipes date from the late 1800's to early 1900's. Use substitute ingredients
when the recipe calls for it, i.e., "Baker's Cocoa" is no longer sold in
stores. Adjust substitute measurements as needed. It is recommended that you stick
to the BAKER'S® brand wherever possible for the most accurate results.
