Put 28g of chocolate and one tablespoonful of butter in a cup. Put this into a pan of boiling water.
Take half a cupful of butter and one cupful of sugar and beat to a cream. Gradually beat in half a cupful of milk. Then add the whites of six eggs beaten to a stiff froth, along with one teaspoonful of vanilla, and a cup and a half of sifted flour, in which is mixed one teaspoonful of baking powder.
Put about one-third of this mixture into another bowl. You can now stir the melted butter and chocolate into this mixture.
Drop the white-and-brown mixture in spoonfuls into a well buttered deep cake pan. Bake cake in a moderate* oven for about forty-five minutes.
Once cooled the cake can be iced with either chocolate or butter white icing.
*This recipe does not give a gas mark or temp to cook at as its a old recipe. I think it requires a bit of trial and error!
