French Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

• whites of 7 eggs
• 2 cups of sugar
• 2/3 cup of butter
• 1 cup of milk
• 3 cups of flour
• 3 teaspoonfuls of baking powder

Instructions

The chocolate part of the cake is made just the same, only use the yolks of the eggs with a cup of grated chocolate stirred into it. Bake it in layers — the layers being light and dark; then spread a custard between them, which is made with two eggs, one pint of milk, one-half cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of flour or cornstarch; when cool flavor with vanilla, two teaspoonfuls. Fine.
