Filling (Boil cup water and cup sugar)

Boil ½ cup water and 1 cup sugar together, adding while boiling ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar until you can blow the syrup in feathers from a fork. Do not stir while boiling. Have ready the wellbeaten whites of 2 eggs. Pour the liquid over this and beat until almost cool. Then add 4 tablespoons grated unsweetened chocolate and beat until cold. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and spread between the layers and over the cake, alternating the light and dark layers.
