childhood's day |
by lillian burns hudson |
how i remember saturdays |
in the days long gone by |
when mother in the kitchen |
was baking bread and pie. |
how anxiously i waited |
for the bread and pie to bake |
then mother took a mixing bowl |
and began the chocolate cake. |
she beat the eggs and sugar well |
and added other things |
then with a big spoon stirred it |
till the batter stood in rings. |
the batter looked delicious |
as she placed it in the pan |
then set the bowlon the table . . . |
that's when our fun began. |
i remember as though 'twere yesterday |
how my mother, gentle soul |
would smile and look at me and say |
now you can lick the bowl. |
quick chocolate cake |
in a large bowl place the following ingredients |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 cup cocoa |
1/2 cup butter |
1 1/2 cups flour sifted with |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
and 1/2 teaspoon soda |
