1 (4 oz.) pkg. Baker's German sweet chocolate
2 3/4 c. sifted cake flour
1 3/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. butter
3/4 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3 lg. eggs + 1 egg yolk

Heat chocolate over hot water until partially melted. Remove from heat and stir rapidly until melted and cool. Sift flour with sugar, salt, cream of tartar, soda and cinnamon. Stir shortening; add flour mixture, milk and vanilla. Mix until all flour is dampened. Beat 2 minutes by mixer. Add eggs, yolk and chocolate. Beat 1 minute longer.

Pour into 9" or 10" tube pan or bundt pan which has been greased and floured well. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 5 to 10 minutes. Cool in pan for 15 minutes and remove carefully from pan. Glaze if desired while still warm. This recipe works well in bunny mold but reinforce ears with toothpicks.
