2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate or 1/3 cocoa powder
1 t melted butter
1 egg
¾ c sugar
1 t vanilla
½ t salt
1 c flour
1 ½ t baking powder
½ C milk

Melt chocolate and butter together (or mix cocoa with butter). Beat the egg until light colored. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy. Combine dry ingredients. Add this, alternately with milk, to the egg mixture. Add the chocolate and butter mixture and stir just enough to blend.

Pour batter into 2-3 greased tin cans (like from corn) filling cans about 2/3 full. Cover top with foil that has been greased on the inside and secure with rubber bands. Place in a pot and fill with boiling water until water is 2/3 up the side of the cans. Cover and steam for 1 ½ hours. (See note for steamed harvest bread for how to keep cans upright).
