Cocoa Pudding

Put half a pound of stale bread and one pint of milk in a saucepan, stirring it while it boils, until it becomes a thick paste; add a quarter of a pound of sugar, one ounce of butter, one tablespoonful of prepared cocoa, and a few drops of essence of vanilla. Remove the pudding from the fire, beat the yolks of three eggs, whip the whites of the eggs to a froth, then mix all into the other ingredients. Put it in a buttered pie-dish and bake for three-quarters of an hour.
