Well, back in those olden days, there were no two and three story layer cakes put together with luscioua coconut or chocolate tilling. Cakes wen* of the pound cake or fruit cake type. I'm not sun- that angel foods had eves been thought of then. Although, of course, angel foods are made without baking powder.

But in addition to th*** pound and fruit cskrs. there wvrr som* early American favorite* mad* with yeast Th* most popular of these being th* Election Cake. Election days, you **«. were festive occasioa* in th* early days of our nation. When th* annual election tor th* jurisdiction took place, * a pillion wa» fastened behind the man's saddle, and the good wife rod* with her husband to th* seat of government, to exchange some yarn she had been spinning, for ribboas and odier foreign goodsas w».i as to gather up the gossip of th* ysar. On such occasion*, a star* of cake was provided beforehand—and that is hew "election cake" b-.-am* one of th* American injtitutio.is handed down from generation to generation. Now th»»* Election Cakaa w*r* very rich butter cake* full of rairin*. and citron, and liberally flavored with sherry or brandy. 1 Lave neve.- come across an account i of making th:* “election" cake with chorolate in th* old day*. Although it might well have been mad* «itl chocolate since this was well known to the American colonist*. However, it* use seem* to i have been limited to beverag*tnjkmg. W. read that after the VBoston Tea Party” th* roionist* . turned to chocolate in place of the roysHv-tavsd tea. So a Chocolate Cake—made with yeast—i* surely in keeping with th* tart early American traditions —w-heuier th* colonial wive* ever made it or not. Furthermore, it’s a wonderfully delicious chocolate cake with a soft velvety smooth texture that make* for pleasant eating. You can mak* it with lay. or* put together with a delightful i and unusual Cream Fudge Icing. Here are the recipes; Early American Chocolate Cake (made with yeast) 34 cup shortening 1 : > cups sugar 2 eggs 2 *q. chocolate (2 ox.), melted
