Ingredients:

Serving

1 (4-oz) sweet chocolate baking bar, cut up
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3 cups sugar
5 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp lemon extract
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions:

Microwave chocolate in a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes, stirring twice.
Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until blended after each addition. Stir in melted chocolate.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to butter mixture, alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in extracts. Fold in chopped pecans, if desired. Pour into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
