What you’ll need

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 egg, unbeaten
  • 2 squares Baker’s chocolate, melted
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup walnut meats, cut in pieces

Make it happen

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix ingredients in order given. Line a seven-inch square pan with paraffine paper. Spread mixture evenly in pan and bake in a slow oven. As soon as taken from oven turn from pan, remove paper, and cut cake in strips, using a sharp knife. If these directions are not followed paper will cling to cake, and it will be impossible to cut it in shapely pieces.
