DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE
(

2 cups brown sugar.
1/2 cup butter and lard, mixed.
2 eggs.
1/2 cup boiling water.
2 ounces Baker's chocolate.
2 cups flour.
1 teaspoonful soda.
1/2 cup sour cream or milk.
Cream butter and sugar and add yolks of eggs; then sour milk into
which the soda has been dissolved. Add hot water, then the eggs. Bake
in layers or loaf. Ice with boiled chocolate icing. If a little of the
sour milk is saved until last, the soda dissolved in that, and then
added to the cake batter, it will give a brick red appearance. This is
an excellent cake.
