Marbled Cake

One cup of butter, two cups of powdered sugar, three cups of flour, four eggs, one cup of sweet milk, one-half a teaspoonful of soda, one of cream of tartar, sifted with the flour. When the cake is mixed, take out about one teacup of batter, and stir into this a large spoonful of grated chocolate, wet with a scant tablespoon-ful of milk. Fill the mould about one inch deep with the yellow batter, then drop on this in two or three places a spoonful of the dark mixture; give the brown spots a light stir with the top of the spoon, spreading it in broken circles upon the lighter surface. Proceed in this order until it is used up. When cut the cake will be handsomely variegated. The reserved cupful of batter may be colored with enough prepared cochineal to give it a fine pink tint, and mix as you do the brown.
