Walnut Cake(Dios Torta)
- 1/4 lb. semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/2 c. sugar

- 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 375u0b0.
- 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.
