## Editor's Notes
- **"Sweet chocolate"** — period term for sweet or semi-sweet baking chocolate. 1/2 lb Baker's German Sweet Chocolate broken or chopped into rough chunks is the period-authentic interpretation; modern semi-sweet chocolate chips are an equivalent substitute. Treated as chunks stirred into the dough rather than melted, consistent with the "stir in" instruction placement at the end of the mixing sequence.
- **Nuts** — quantity and variety not specified on original car -

## Editor's Notes
- **"1 tsp cin nutmeg - cloves"** — three spices listed with one quantity; interpreted as 1 tsp cinnamon plus 1/2 tsp each nutmeg and cloves. The dash separates the measured cinnamon from the smaller pinch-quantity spices.
- **"Sour milk"** — period term for naturally soured whole milk. Modern substitute: add 1 1/2 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 1/2 cups whole milk and let stand 5 minutes.
- **Dates** — pitted and chopped before measuring; Medjool or Deglet Noor both appropriate.
- **Baking temperature, time, and pan size** not specified; 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes in a 9x13 pan inferred from batter volume and composition.
- **Completeness tag:** `minor-gaps` — spice quantities, pan size, temperature, and time inferred.
