6 Roberts Eggs, separated

3/4 cup grated unsweetened chocolate
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream Filling
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored; gradually mix in 1/2 cup sugar. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg yolk mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; add cream of tartar. Gradually add remaining sugar and beat until stiff and glossy; fold in grated chocolate and vanilla extract until well-blended; fold in egg yolk mixture. Divide batter equally into 4 buttered and floured 8 inch round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, or until very light in color. Cool completely; split each layer in half horizontally. Prepare Whipped Cream Filling.
