4 oz. (4 sq.) unsweetened chocolate, melted
2 eggs
1 c. nutmeats
1 1/2 c. sweet milk
2 c. cake flour

FROSTING FOR CHOCOLATE NUT CAKE:

1/2 c. butter
2 oz. chocolate, unsweetened
1 egg
1 1/2 c. confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 c. nutmeats
Dash of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. lemon juice

Melt butter and chocolate together. Add beaten egg, sugar, salt, vanilla and lemon juice. Either mix in nuts or sprinkle on top. For layer cake, it takes a little more icing, so use 2 cups sugar and a little thin cream, a little at a time. Beat until smooth.
