Chocolate Cream Cake Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Chocolate Cream Cake Recipe, first 1/2 cupful of butter, 2 cupfuls of sugar, 1 cupful of water, 3 cupfuls of sifted flour, 3 level teaspoonfuls of baking-powder, 1 teaspoonful of vanilla, whites of 4 eggs. Cream the butter, add the sugar gradually, continuing the creaming; then add the water and flour, a little at a time; having the baking-powder sifted with the flour, continue stirring until the water and flour are all used. Now add the vanilla and well-beaten whites of the eggs, stir just enough to mix, and pour into 3 large or 4 small layer-cake pans, and bake in a moderate oven for about twenty minutes.

Filling

White of 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoonful of vanilla, 1/2 tablespoonful of cold water; add sugar until thick enough to spread. Spread on top of each layer; melt a quarter of a cake of chocolate over steam and spread on top of white frosting on each layer, after the white frosting has become hard.
