Ingredients:

Serving

12 eggs, separated
2 cups sugar
2-1/2 cups ground pecans
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
buttercream frosting:
1 cup milk
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
whole pecans , optional

Directions:

In a bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and lemon-colored, about 5-6 minutes. Combine pecans and bread crumbs; stir into yolk mixture with vanilla. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Divide evenly among three greased and waxed paper-lined 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until cakes test done. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan; cool completely on a wire rack. For frosting, combine milk and cornstarch in a saucepan until well blended. Add chocolate chips. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Cool to room temperature. In a bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar. Add vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in chocolate mixture; beat until fluffy. Spread between cooled cake layers. Frost top and sides. Garnish with pecans if desired. Yield: 12-16 servings.
