2 c. sugar
3/4 scant c. lard or butter
4 egg yolks
1 c. milk
1 bar German's sweet chocolate
2 c. cake flour, sifted
2 tsp. baking powder
1 c. nut meats
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
4 egg whites, beaten

Cream sugar and butter, then add egg yolks and stir well. Add milk. Melt the sweet chocolate and add to the mixture. Sift cake flour once, then measure. Add baking powder to flour and sift together 3 or 4 times. Add to cake mixture. Stir in nut meats and vanilla and salt. Beat egg whites until they stand in peaks, then fold into the chocolate mixture. Bake at 350 degrees 45 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Frost with Chocolate Deluxe Icing. Use 9 x 13 inch pan or two (9 inch) round layer pans. This is a very temperamental cake and cannot be beaten too hard. If using an electric mixer use either slow or medium speed.
