- This is in response to the request for 20's/30's recipes.
-
- You know how old recipes are... Here are the ingredients, and you mix them
- together like you do when you make a cake (real helpful, eh?).
-
- 1/2 c butter (don't substitute)
- 2 c sugar
- 4 sqares chocolate, melted
- 2 eggs (medium or large)
- 2 c cake flour (don't substitute), sifted
- 1 1/2 c milk (I would use whole)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp vanilla
-
- Don't substitute anything -- I find that in older recipes IT JUST DOESN'T
- WORK!!
-
- Cream butter and sugar REALLY well. My mom always told me that that was
- critical in cake making). Beat in chocolate and eggs. Alternately add
- flour/baking powder and milk/vanilla. Then bake as you would a cake.
