Beat eggs until they are almost as stiff as whipped cream, add to creamed mixture. Add chocolate, mixing well. Combine milk and vanilla. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk, beating well after each addition until smooth. Add boiling water, beating well. Turn into greased pan. Bake at 350 F. For 30 minutes or until done. Cool.
