Ingredients

• 4  eggs
• 1 1⁄4 cups sugar
• 1  cup  chopped walnuts
• 1⁄2 cup flour
• 4  tablespoons  unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1  teaspoon baking powder

• FOR THE CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM

• 1⁄2 cup  semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. FOR THE CAKE: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend for 30 seconds, or until the nuts are finely chopped.
2. Pour batter into a 10-inch buttered springform pan and bake in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until a cake tester, inserted in center, comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan. Remove cake from pan.
3. When cool, swirl Chocolate Buttercream on the top, in a decorative fashion and frost the sides. This is a low cake, so don’t think anything went wrong. Serves 8.
4. FOR THE BUTTERCREAM: In a bowl, stir together melted chocolate and melted butter until blended. Stir in vanilla. Yields 3/4 cup frosting.
5. NOTE: If you own a microwave oven, chocolate chips and butter can be melted together by placing in a bowl and microwaving for 1 minute on high. Turn the bowl and microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir together until blended.
6. If you don’t have springform pan then use a regular 10 inch pan and put parchment paper or waxed paper to cover the bottom of cake pan. Grease and sprinkle with flour and the cake will come out.
