COCOA CAKE

½ a cup of butter,
¾ a cup of milk,
1 cup of sugar,
6 level tablespoonfuls of Baker's Cocoa,
3 eggs,
2 level teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
1 teaspoonful of vanilla,
1 ½ or 2 cups of sifted pastry flour.

Cream the butter, stir in the sugar gradually, add the unbeaten eggs, and beat all together until very creamy. Sift together one-half cup of the flour, the cocoa and baking powder; use this flour first, then alternate the milk and remaining flour, using enough to make mixture stiff enough to drop from the spoon; add vanilla and beat until very smooth; then bake in loaf in moderately hot oven thirty-five or forty minutes.
