HERE'S the most beautiful choco-
Ii late cake, a real dream of
cake. It's easy to make and deli
cious, with fine, tender grain
assured by the use Of cake -four.
1t is economical, too. What more
could anybody want?
Do you ever make notes on your
recipes? Note number one for this
Black Magic Chocolate Cake should
be this: Notice that the recipe says
melted chocolate and shortening
should be cool before sugar is add
ed: that means really cool. Choco-
late and shortening are melted in
a bowl over hot, water to begin
with; and the cake is mixed in the
same bowl.
Second, the recipe says add 1
cup milk. then it says add 2 cups
cake flour. Add all the milk at
once if you want to, but add the
delicate cake -four about a third
at a time, as you usually do.
The third thing to note is this:
you will find that this cake, right
out of the cake tin. fresh as a daisy,
is light as down. This means that
the frosting used should be deli
cate light one. But after the first
day, don't think this cake isn't still
perfection. A little time to ripen
and mellow and it's moist and rich,
quite the best chocolate cake you've
, ever baked.
You won't have any frosting wor.
ries if you use a new instant frost
ing that needs to be mixed only
with hot tap water. One 4-1/2 ounce
package makes enough for top and
sides of a layer.
