Tweed Squares

These are my all time favorite square. They are fussy, and my mom used to make them for me every year for my birthday.

Square Ingredients

1/2 cup margarine
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons sugar
1 square semi-sweet chocolate

Square Instructions

In a large bowl, beat together margarine and sugar. Add flour, and baking powder. Mix well. Add vanilla. In another bowl, beat together egg whites and 2 tablespoons sugar until they form stiff peaks. Reserve egg yolks for frosting. Grate chocolate and fold into egg whites. Add to batter and fold in, combining well. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool completely before frosting.

1 1/2 cups icing sugar
1 square semi-sweet chocolate
