- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until stiff. Gradually beat in 4 tablespoons of the sugar until the mixture is slightly glossy. Set aside.
- In another large bowl, beat the egg yolks. Gradually beat in the remaining sugar until the mixture is thick and pale. Beat in the vanilla.
- In another bowl, stir together the digestive biscuit crumbs, baking powder and salt. Beat into the egg yolk mixture. Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chips. Stir in about 1/3 of the egg whites to lighten the batter and then fold in the rest gently but thoroughly.
- Turn the cake mixture into a greased and floured 20x30cm baking tin. Bake the cake in a preheated 180 C / Gas 4 oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it tests done with a skewer. Let cool on a rack.

Great recipe! It's really quick and easy to make and everyone loves it! Everyone's always asking me the recipe for this cake! I've even been told it tastes like Turtles! - 06 Feb 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This is very eggy and flat. The flavor is good, but I would bake it in a smaller pan next time. - 01 Apr 2013 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
These were just ok. I understand the other review that says that it was eggy. I would describe it as spungy, but not bad. I did bake in a smaller baking pan based on that other recommendation and I think that helped. Otherwise, I imagine it would turn out super thin.I really don't understand the other person who said they are like turtles. Turtles have a caramel component that this is definitely missing. This was just ok. Would not make again. - 11 Dec 2017 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
