Cashew Cake

Beat for 2 minutes:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup hot milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

In a separate bowl, beat until soft peaks form:
7 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

Fold beaten egg whites into batter.
Pour into a greased and floured 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes and then shake to remove cake from pan. (I usually put the cake on an inverted cookie sheet.) Cool completely. Frost on all sides and top of cake, drizzle and sprinkle. . .

Frosting:
1/4 cup butter
1 pound powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
5-6 Tablespoons milk

Melt together, and drizzle over frosted cake:
3 chocolate bars (the Hershey kind that you use for s'mores)
3 Tablespoons milk
1-1/2 Tablespoons butter

Sprinkle cashew halves and pieces over frosted, drizzled cake
