Original Recipe Yield 1 - 9 inch layer cake

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 1/4 cups evaporated milk
2 eggs
2 1/2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring

Directions

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and sugar.
