Gradually beat in sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold chocolate mixture into beaten egg whites just until no streaks of white remain. Quickly fold in nuts. Spread into prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle top lightly with more nuts. 4. Bake cake 25 minutes or until edges are firm. (Center of cake will be soft and will fall slightly.) Meanwhile, prepare Hot Fudge Sauce (recipe follows). 5. To serve, spoon warm cake onto individual plates. Top with a scoop of ice cream and Hot Fudge Sauce. Garnish with whipped cream and addi- tional nuts, if desired. Hot Fudge Sauce: In heavy 1-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 C sugar and 1/2 C unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir in 1/2 C heavy cream until well mixed. Add 1/2 C (3 oz) semisweet chocolate chips and 1/4 C (1/2 stick) unsalted butter or margarine.

To make ahead, cover and refrigerate sauce, then just before serving, heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until hot. Makes about 1 1/4 C.
