Chocolate Cake, or Devil's Food

5 level tablespoonfuls of butter, 1 1/4 cups of sugar, 3 1/2 squares of Baker's Premium No. 1 Chocolate, melted, 1 teaspoonful of vanilla, 3/4 a cup of milk, 3 1/2 level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, 3 eggs, 1 1/2 cups of sifted pastry flour.

Cream the butter, add sugar and chocolate, then the unbeaten eggs and vanilla, and beat together until very smooth. Sift the baking powder with one-half a cup of the flour, and use first; then alternate the milk and the remaining flour, and make the mixture stiff enough to drop from the spoon. Beat until very smooth and bake in loaf in moderate oven.
