Ice Box Cake

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 4 tablespoon water
  • 24 - 36 ladyfingers
  • 3 strips sweet chocolate
  • whipped cream

Directions

  1. Boil sugar in water four minutes, then add 3 strips of chocolate cut in small pieces.
  2. Beat this mixture until it melts, and add the beaten egg yolks one at a time and heat for about ten minutes.
  3. Then pour this into the whites.
  4. Line a bread pan with waxed paper, and put a layer of lady fingers that have been split open and cover with about one-fourth of the mixture of chocolate, and do this until all of it is used.
  5. This usually makes about 3 layers.
  6. Stand this in the ice box over night and turn out on a platter when ready to serve and heap up with whipped cream, cut into slices and serve.
