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.
