I have adopted this recipe (feb 2006) and not made yet. If you make the recipe I would be highly interested in any comment on it.

3. Add the sugar to the egg whites and continue beating until the mixture forms soft peaks.
4. Mix shortening, chocolate syrup, fudge sauce, water, and vanilla (wet mixture).

10. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean.
