Add eggs and beat well; then chocolate and beat until smooth. Add flour, alternately with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat after each addition until smooth. Add vanilla. Bake in two greased 9-inch layer pans in moderate oven (350°F.) 35 minutes, or until done. Spread Seven Minute Frosting ([page 16]) between layers and on top and sides of cake.
