Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.

Summary

An orphan frosting-instructions page for a layered chocolate cake, with no quantities and no cake attached — kept in case the earlier page(s) of the recipe turn up elsewhere in the batch.

Ingredients

⚠ No quantities are stated on this page. The instructions name cream cheese, melted butter, melted chocolate, and confectioners' (powdered) sugar, but no amount of any of them is given — the ingredient list from an earlier page is not present in this scan.

Method

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, melted butter, and melted chocolate until blended.
  2. Add confectioners' sugar and beat until smooth.
  3. Spread frosting between cake layers and over top and sides of cake.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. Remove from fridge 15 minutes before serving.

Notes on the artifact

This is an orphan fragment: a page numbered "4" (the numeral is somewhat ambiguous in the handwriting) with frosting instructions only — no title, no cake ingredients, no attached cake recipe. Handwritten in pencil on yellow legal-pad paper. Filed as a fragment pending a match to its parent recipe.
