Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 18, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 January 1916 — Cocoa Cake. [ARTICLE]
Cocoa Cake.
Here is a very inexpensive cake which is original with me. It is very moist, and never faift. Put into your sieve one cupful sugar, one and onehalf cupfuls flour, two, level teaspoonfuls. baking powder (or one-half teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful cream of tartar), one teaspoonful cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful cloves, one-half teaspoonful salt. Sift all this into your mixing bowl. Break in one egg. Add three tablespoonfuls melted butter, also two-thirds cupful warm water (not boiling) and a teaspoonful vanilla. Beat well. Bake rather slowly. Frost when cool with white frosting.
