Use two eggs, one cupful of sugar, one and one-quarter cupful of flour, one gill of cold water, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one ounce chocolate, half tumbler of any kind of jelly and chocolate icing, same as for eclairs. Separate the eggs, beat the yolks and sugar together till light. Beat the whites until light and then beat them with the yolks and sugar and grated chocolate. Next beat in the lemon juice and water, and finally the flour in which baking powder shall be mixed. Beat for three minutes, and then pour the batter into two pans and bake in a moderate oven for about 18 minutes. When done spread one sheet of cake with the jelly and press other sheet over it. When cold cut into little squares and triangular pieces. Cover with icing.

Chocolate Icing - Yolk one egg, one-third cup scaled cream, one-half teaspoon melted butter, few grains salt, confectioner's sugar, half teaspoonful vanilla.
