2/3 C. SUGAR

1/3 C. UNSWEETENED COCOA POWDER

3 T. CORNSTARCH

3/4 C. MILK

1/4 C. BUTTER OR MARGARINE

1 tsp. VANILLA EXTRACT

4 EGG YOLKS

4 EGG WHITES

1/4 tsp. CREAM OF TARTER

POWDERED SUGAR OR SWEETENED WHIPPED CREAM

**Prepare a 1-quart souffle dish as described on page 89, set aside. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F/165 degrees C. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa and cornstarch. Gradually stir in mile. Stir constantly over low heat until mixture is thickened and smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in butter or margarine and vanilla extract; set aside to cool. In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg yolks until thickened and lemon-coloured. Stir in cocoa mixture. In a large mixer bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tarter; continue beating until egg whites are stiff but not dry. Stir about 1 c. beaten egg whites into cocoa mixture, then gently fold cocoa mixture into remaining egg whites. Pour into prepared souffle dish. Bake about 55 minutes. Serve immediately sprinkled with powdered sugar or topped with sweetened whipped cream. Makes 6 to 8 servings. 

**Be sure to set out eggs early as they must be at room temperature when you beat them for souffles for maximized volume.
