Coffee Chocolate Cake
- 2/3 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 square chocolate
- 1/2 cup strong coffee
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3 tsps baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy, adding the well beaten egg yolks as soon as the butter and sugar are well mixed. Put in the chocolate, which has been softened by standing over hot water, the coffee and milk. Add the flour, baking powder and salt sifted together, and then the vanilla. Beat vigorously and at the last moment before baking fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake about 45 minutes in 2 loaf cake pans, having the oven moderately hot. Frost, if desired.
