4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1 cup chopped walnuts

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside.
2
In the top of a double boiler, heat chocolate, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm.
3
In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk. Stir in walnuts.
4
In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Pour batter into prepared pan.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
