Walnut Cake(Dios Torta) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 lb. semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs

Preparation

Butter 2 large 9-inch layer cake pans; place a circle of waxed paper or brown paper in the bottom and butter that as well.
Set the pan aside.
Preheat the oven to 375\u00b0.
Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy; continue beating until very stiff. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks with sugar until light yellow and very creamy.
Blend the walnuts and bread crumbs together; fold them into the egg yolk mixture.
Mix a heaping tablespoonful of the beaten egg whites into the batter to lighten it.
Lightly fold in the remainder of the whites.
The batter should be evenly mixed but not overworked.
Pour into the cake pans; bake for 20 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched.
Remove from oven; cool for 10 minutes in the pans. Invert onto a cake rack; quickly remove all the paper from the bottoms of the layers.
Cool completely before filling and frosting cake.
