How To Make chocolate "fun fest" cake 1951

Step 1

Combine melted chocolate,1 Tab. sugar,water and baking soda. Blend. Set aside and cool. Sift flour add baking powder and salt...sift 3 times. Set aside. Cream shortening add sugar gradually, cream together..till fluffy. Add egg and blend thoroughly..

Step 2

Add flour alternately with milk,a little bit at a time, beating in..to the shortening mixture,till smooth. Add vanilla and mix. Add 1/3 of this mixture to the chocolate mixture...mix throughly.
Step 3

Use a 10x5x3 inch loaf pan, which has been lined on the bottom with paper.(A baking paper) Put large spoonfulls of batter into baking pan. Alternating.. the chocolate and white batter.
Step 4

WITH A KNIFE. Cut through the batter once in a wide zig zag pattern. Bake in a 350F pre-heated oven...1hour & 5 min. Or till done. Spread with chocolate frosting...if you like. Recipe for melting chocolate and frosting is on the Bakers Chocolate package. NOTE: I used semi-sweet Bakers Chocolate. And sprinkled with powdered sugar when cake was turned out and cooled, on top only.
Step 5

Cut and enjoy...I think this would be great with whipped or even a dollop of sour cream....YUMMY!!!
