Light chocolate cake is an American favorite. This cake uses semi-sweet chocolate morsels, the kind used in chocolate chip cookies. Semi-sweet chocolate bits make an attractive beading around the edge of a white frosting.
DIRECTIONS
Melt chocolate morsels over hot (not boiling) water. Cream margarine or butter; add sugar gradually, creaming thoroughly. Add egg yolks and whole egg, one at a time, beating well. Sift together cake flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Sift again. Add alternately to the creamed mixture with milk. Stir in melted chocolate. Turn into 2 eight-inch greased pans, two inches deep. Bake in a moderate oven, 350°, for 35 minutes. Cool. Frost with Seven-minute frosting or with boiled frosting. Garnish with additional semi-sweet chocolate morsels.
Chocolate "Cake-Mate" may be used to add the name of a child's patron to the cake.
