- ½ a cup of butter,
- ¾ a cup of milk,
- 1 cup of sugar,
- 6 level tablespoonfuls of Baker's Cocoa,
- 3 eggs,
- 2 level teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
- 1 teaspoonful of vanilla,
- 1 ½ or 2 cups of sifted pastry flour.
Cream the butter, stir in the sugar gradually, add the unbeaten eggs,
and beat all together until very creamy. Sift together one-half cup of
the flour, the cocoa and baking powder; use this flour first, then
alternate the milk and remaining flour, using enough to make mixture
stiff enough to drop from the spoon; add vanilla and beat until very
smooth; then bake in loaf in moderately hot oven thirty-five or forty
minutes.
Tests for baking cake. It is baked enough when:
- It shrinks from the pan.
- Touching it on the top, springs back.
- No singing sound.
