The most delicious thing you can put in your mouth! My grandma won first prize at the fair every time with this recipe!

Prepare the following custard in a double boiler: 8oz chocolate, 1/2c milk, 1c firmly packed brown sugar, and one egg yolk.
Remove from heat when thickened.
Have other ingredients at about 75 degrees.
Sift before measuring: 2 cups flour.
Resift with: 1tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt.
Beat 1/2c butter until soft.
Add 1c sugar gradually and blend until very creamy.
Beat in 2 egg yolks 1 at a time.
Add the flour to the butter mixture in 3 parts, alternating with thirds of: 1/4c water, 1/2c milk, and 1tsp vanilla.
Stir the batter until smooth after each addition.
Stir in the chocolate custard.
Whip until stiff but not dry: 2 egg whites.
Fold them lightly into the cake batter.
Bake in greased pans at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
