CHOCOLATE-CAKE
Shave four squares of unsweetened chocolate, add half a cupful of milk and half a cupful of sugar. Boil until thickened, then add a teaspoonful of vanilla.
Mix half a cupful of butter and half a cupful of sugar, stir them to a cream, then add the beaten yolks of three eggs and the chocolate mixture, then alternately, a little at a time, two cupfuls of sifted flour mixed with a teaspoonful of baking-powder, and half a cupful of milk. Lastly, fold in the whites of two eggs. Bake in loaves or in layers in a moderate oven. This amount of mixture will make two loaves.
Cover with chocolate icing No. 13. If in layers, use the same icing between the layers.
