CHOCOLATE GLACÉ CAKE
Beat to a cream a generous half cupful of butter, and gradually
beat into this one cupful of sugar. Add one ounce of Walter
Baker & Co.'s Premium No. 1 Chocolate, melted; also two
unbeaten eggs.
Beat vigorously for five minutes; then stir in half a cupful
of milk, and lastly, one cupful and a half of flour, with
which has been mixed one generous teaspoonful of baking powder.
Flavor with one teaspoonful of vanilla.
Pour into a buttered, shallow cake pan, and bake for half
an hour in a moderate oven. When cool, spread with glacé
frosting.
GLACÉ FROSTING. Put half a cupful of sugar and three
tablespoonfuls of water in a small saucepan. Stir over the
fire until the sugar is nearly melted.
Take the spoon from the pan before the sugar really begins
to boil, because it would spoil the icing if the syrup were
stirred after it begins to boil. After boiling gently for
four minutes, add half a teaspoonful of vanilla extract, but
do not stir; then set away to cool.
When the syrup is about blood warm, beat it with a wooden
spoon until thick and white. Now put the saucepan in another
with boiling water, and stir until the icing is thin enough
to pour. Spread quickly on the cake.
CHOCOLATE GLACÉ After making a glacé frosting,
dissolve one ounce of Walter Baker & Co.'s Premium No.
1 Chocolate in a cup, and put it with the frosting, adding
also a tablespoonful of boiling water.
