CINDERELLA CAKES

Use two eggs, one cupful of sugar, one cupful and a quarter of flour,one gill of cold water, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, oneteaspoonful of baking powder, one ounce of Premium No. 1 Chocolate, half a tumbler of any kind of jelly, and chocolate icing the same as for eclairs. Separate the eggs, and beat the yolks and sugar together until light.Beat the whites until light, and then beat them with yolks and sugar and grated chocolate. Next beat in the lemon juice and water, and finally the flour, in which the baking powder should be mixed. Beat for three minutes, and then pour the batter into two pans, and bake in a moderate oven for about eighteen minutes. When done, spread one sheet of cake with the jelly, and press the other sheet over it; and when cold, cut into little squares and triangular pieces. Stick a wooden toothpick into each of these pieces and dip each one into the hot icing, afterwards removing the toothpick, of course.

CHOCOLATE WAFERS

Grate four ounces of Premium No. 1 Chocolate, and mix with it two tablespoonfuls of flour and one-fourth of a teaspoonful each of cinnamon, cloves and baking powder. Separate six eggs. Add one cupful of powdered sugar to the yolks, and beat until very light; then add the grated yellow rind and the juice of half a lemon, and beat five minutes longer. Now add the dry mixture, and with a spoon lightly cut in the whites, which are first to be beaten to a stiff froth. Pour the mixture into buttered shallow pans, having it about half an inch thick. Bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. When the cake is cool, spread a thin layer of currant jelly over one sheet, and place the other sheet on this. Ice with vanilla icing; and when this hardens, cut in squares.It is particularly nice to serve with ice-cream.

CHOCOLATE BISCUIT

Cover three large baking pans with paper that has been well oiled with washed butter. Over these dredge powdered sugar. Melt in a cup one ounce of Walter Baker & Co.'s Premium No. 1 Chocolate. Separate the whites and yolks of four eggs. Add to the yolks a generous half cupful of powdered sugar, and beat until light and firm. Add the melted chocolate, and beat a few minutes longer. Beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff, dry froth.Measure out three-fourths of a cupful of sifted flour, and stir it and the whites into the yolks. The whites and flour must be cut in aslightly as possible, and with very little stirring. Drop the mixture in teaspoonfuls on the buttered paper. Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cakes, and bake in a slow oven for about fourteen or fifteen minutes.The mixture can be shaped like lady fingers, if preferred.

CHOCOLATE GLACE CAKE

Beat to a cream a generous half cupful of butter, and gradually beatinto this one cupful of sugar. Add one ounce of Walter Baker & Co.'sPremium 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 glace frosting. GLACE 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 untilthick 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 GLACE
After making a glace 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.

CHOCOLATE MARBLE CAKE

Put one ounce of Walter Baker & Co.'s Chocolate and one tablespoonful of butter in a cup, and set this in a pan of boiling water. Beat to a cream half a cupful of butter and one cupful of sugar. Gradually beat in half a cupful of milk. Now add the whites of six eggs beaten to a stiff froth, one teaspoonful of vanilla, and a cupful and a half of sifted flour, in which is mixed one teaspoonful of baking powder. Put about one-third of this mixture into another bowl, and stir the melted butter and chocolate into it. Drop the white-and-brown mixture in spoonfuls into a well buttered deep cake pan, and bake in a moderate oven for about forty-five minutes; or, the cake can be baked in a sheet and iced with a chocolate or white icing.

CHOCOLATE CAKE

For two sheets of cake, use three ounces of Walter Baker & Co.'s Premium
No. 1 Chocolate, three eggs, one cupful and three-fourths of sifted
pastry flour, one cupful and three-fourths of sugar, half a cupful of
butter, half a cupful of milk, half a teaspoonful of vanilla extract,
one teaspoonful and a half of baking powder.

Grate the chocolate. Beat the butter to a cream, and gradually beat in
the sugar. Beat in the milk and vanilla, then the eggs (already well
beaten), next the chocolate, and finally the flour, in which the baking
powder should be mixed. Pour into two well buttered shallow cake pans.
Bake for twenty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Frost or not, as you
like.

CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE

Beat half a cupful of butter to a cream, and gradually beat into it one
cupful of sugar. When this is light, beat in half a cupful of milk, a
little at a time, and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Beat the whites of six
eggs to a stiff froth. Mix half a teaspoonful of baking powder with two
scant cupfuls of sifted flour. Stir the flour and whites of eggs
alternately into the mixture. Have three deep tin plates well buttered,
and spread two-thirds of the batter in two of them.


Into the remaining batter stir one ounce of Walter Baker & Co.'s Premium
No. 1 Chocolate, melted, and spread this batter in the third plate. Bake
the cakes in a moderate oven for about twenty minutes. Put a layer of
white cake on a large plate, and spread with white icing. Put the dark
cake on this, and also spread with white icing. On this put the third
cake. Spread with chocolate icing.

TO MAKE THE ICING. Put into a granite-ware saucepan two gills of sugar
and one of water, and boil gently until bubbles begin to come from the
bottom--say, about five minutes. Take from the fire instantly. Do not
stir or shake the sugar while it is cooking. Pour the hot syrup in a
thin stream into the whites of two eggs that have been beaten to a stiff
froth, beating the mixture all the time. Continue to beat until the
icing is thick. Flavor with one teaspoonful of vanilla. Use two-thirds
of this as a white icing, and to the remaining third add one ounce of
melted chocolate. To melt the chocolate, shave it fine and put in a cup,
which is then to be placed in a pan of boiling water.
