Ingredients:1/2 c. KARO Light Corn Syrup
1/2 c. butter
5 squares (5 oz.) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
1/4 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 c. unsifted flour
1 c. chopped walnuts
Chocolate Glaze (recipe follows)
Grease and flour 9-inch layer cake pan. (I used Baker's Secret flour and Pam style spray).
In large saucepan bring corn syrup and butter to a boil, stirring occasionally; remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until melted. Add sugar; stir in eggs, one at a time, then vanilla, flour and nuts. Pour into pan. Bake in 350 degree oven 30 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. (My oven required 5 - 7 minutes more baking time). Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove: cool completely on rack. (I just placed the rack on top of the cake pan and then flipped the two over and the cake slipped easily out and looked stunning on the rackwith a nice flat top for glazing.) Prepare glaze; pour on top and spread on sides. Let stand one hour. Serves 8-12 depending on slices cut.
Chocolate Glaze
3 squares (3 oz.) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate with 1 tablespoon butter over low heat, stirring often. Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons KARO corn syrup and 1 teaspoon milk.
Note: Made this today and it was delicious! My husband said it was gourmet quality! I'll definitely make this again for any celebration! It's from a December 1987 magazine advertisement from a Good Housekeeping Magazine. I tried to locate the recipe on both the BAKER'S CHOCOLATE and KARO SYRUP websites and it isn't on either one so copy this recipe for your recipe file!
