Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cupfuls flour
• 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder
• 1 teaspoonful salt
• 1/3 cupful cocoa
• 1/3 cupful water
• 1/4 cupful fat
• 1/2 teaspoonful baking soda
• 1 cupful sugar
• 3/4 cupful sour milk
• 1 teaspoonful vanilla

Instructions

Mix the cocoa and water. Stir and cook until a thick smooth paste is formed. Add the fat. If solid fat is used stir until it is melted. Set aside to cool.

Add the baking soda and mix well. Then add the sugar and sour milk. Through a sifter, add the dry ingredients. Then add the vanilla. Beat well. Bake in two layers (375 degrees F.) or in one sheet (350 degrees F.). Use frosting or Chocolate Filling made without eggs between the layers and frosting on the top layer.

If it is desired to save sugar, a thin layer of Chocolate Filling may be used between the layers and on the top layer.
