1 teaspoonful of vanilla.

Separate yolks from whites of eggs; beat yolks in a small bowl with the
Dover egg-beater until very thick; add sugar, salt and vanilla, and beat
again until very thick. Sift cocoa and the flour together and stir very
lightly into the mixture; fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs,
and bake in a loaf in a moderate oven until done.

Do not butter the pan, but when cake is baked, invert the pan; and when
cool, remove the cake.
