Ingredients:
2 cups plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, soft ened
6 eggs
23⁄4 cups cake meal
3⁄4 cup potato starch
1 cup chopped walnuts
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1⁄4 to 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Combine 2 cups of the sugar and the margarine in a large bowl.
3. Beat with a mixer at medium- high speed until creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until well blended.
4. Sift the cake meal and potato starch into the egg mixture. Beat until well blended. Fold in the walnuts and chocolatechips.
5. Shape the mixture into 3 loaves, about 3 × 6 inches each, on a wax paper–lined baking sheet.
6. Arrange the loaves about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. The dough will be sticky.
7. Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon in a small bowl; mix well. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the loaves.
