Dear Rita – I tried your recipe for deviled cake and it is fine. Have had splendid luck every time I have made it, and I wish to express my thanks. If you care for chocolate, perhaps you will like my chocolate pie recipe:
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 square unsweetened chocolate
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- small piece of butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Heat the milk, when near boiling point, add egg yolks beaten with sugar, butter and melted chocolate. When well-mixed, stir in cornstarch moistened with a little cold milk. Cook until thick. When cool, add vanilla and pour into a baked pie shell. Beat the egg whites to a stiff froth, and 1/4 cup sugar, spread on pie, or drip from spoon, making mounds. Bake until meringue is brown. – Girlie’s Mother.
