      DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE
Miss Bashford

  4 ounces of chocolate,

  1/2 pint of milk,

  1/2 cup of butter,

  1 1/2 cups of sugar,

  4 eggs,

  3 cups of flour,

  2 teaspoonfuls of baking-powder.

Put chocolate in milk and cook in double-boiler till smooth and thick (about 5
minutes), and stand aside to cool. Beat the butter to a cream, and add gradually
the sugar and yolks of eggs; then the cold chocolate mixture, and add the flour,
which has been sifted with the baking-powder. Add the well-beaten whites of eggs
and flavor with vanilla. Bake in layers and put together with soft icing, to
which add chopped figs or nuts.
