    4 oz Unsweetened chocolate
    1/2 c Milk
    1 c Light sugar; firmly packed
    2 c Cake flour
    1 ts Baking soda
    1 Egg yolk
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c Butter

    2 Egg whites

    Preheat oven to 350?F.

    Custard:

    Cook and stir in a double boiler over--not in--boiling water the
    unsweetened chocolate, milk, brown sugar, and 1 egg yolk. Remove
    from heat when thickened.

    Have other ingredients at about 70?F. Sift before measuring 2 cups
    of cake flour. Resift with baking soda and salt. Beat the butter
    until soft then beat in the egg yolks on at a time. Add the flour
    to the mixture in 3 parts alternating with a mixture of the water,
    milk, and vanilla. Stir the batter until smooth after each edition.
    Stir in the chocolate custard.

    Whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold lightly into cake
    batter. Bake in greased pans for about 25 minutes. Spread, when
    cool with caramel icing.
