DEVIL’S CAKE
One tablespoon butter, one scant cup sugar; mix together. Yolks of two eggs, two squares of chocolate dissolved in one-half cup hot water; add to the above. Mix two cups of flour with two scant teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoonful soda dissolved in one-half cup sour milk or one-half cup hot water, one-half teaspoon vanilla; mix well. Frosting: whites of two eggs, one teaspoonful cold water, one teaspoon lemon extract; whip together; add enough confectioner’s sugar (not powdered) to spread over cake while cake is still in pan, although cooled.
