Chocolate Glace Cake Receipe

A recipe for chocolate cake glace.

• Beat to a cream a generous ½ cupful of butter, and gradually beat into this one cupful of sugar.
• Add one ounce of chocolate, melted; and two unbeaten eggs.
• Beat heartily for five minutes; then stir in ½ a cupful of milk, and lastly, one cupful and a ½ of flour, with which has been mixed one generous teaspoonful of baking powder.
• Flavor with one teaspoonful of vanilla.
• Pour into a buttered, shallow cake pan, and bake for ½ an hour in a moderate oven.
• When cool, spread with glacé frosting.

Glace Frosting

• Put ½ a cupful of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of water in a small saucepan.
• Stir over the fire until the sugar is nearly melted.
• Take the spoon from the pan before the sugar really begins to boil, because it would spoil the icing if the syrup were stirred after it begins to boil.
• After boiling gently for four minutes, add ½ a teaspoonful of vanilla extract, but do not stir; then set away to cool.
• When the syrup is about blood warm, beat it with a wooden spoon until thick and white.
• Now put the saucepan in another with boiling water, and stir until the icing is thin enough to pour.
• Spread quickly on the cake.
