Two cups sugar, two-thirds cup of butter, two cups flour, yolks and whites of six eggs beaten separately, one teaspoon cream of tartar, half teaspoon soda dissolved in half cup sweet milk. Bake in layers. Half pound Baker's chocolate grated fine in half pint milk, flavor and sweeten to taste. Boil this for a few minutes until it thickens. While cooling add one egg well beaten. Spread the chocolate upon the cake as soon as taken from the oven (as you would jelly cake).
