Dark Batter.
2 cupfuls coffee sugar.
1 cupful molasses.
1 cupful sour cream.
1 cupful butter.
5 cupfuls flour.
1 teaspoonful soda.
Yolks of 8 eggs, and a whole one.

Put in the pan, in alternate layers of light and dark batter. Bake quickly, like sponge cake. Ice and ornament with chocolate drops. This fills a two-pound mould.
