My daughter is trying to find a recipe for a Charlotte Rousse cake. I
don't know much about it. Please help.

Chocolate Charlotte Russe

4 oz. (4 sq.) unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup milk
6 eggs, separated
1 1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 doz. ladyfingers, split
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
Shaved, unsweetened chocolate

Melt chocolate squares in top of double boiler over hot water.
Mix granulated sugar, milk and egg yolks. Add to chocolate and cook
until smooth and thickened, stirring constantly. Cool. Cream
butter well. Add 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar and cream thoroughly.
Add chocolate mixture and beat well. Beat egg whites with salt
until stiff; gradually beat in remaining 3/4 cup confectioners'
sugar. Fold into chocolate mixture. Add vanilla. Line bottom and
sides of deep 9 inch springform pan with split ladyfingers. Put in
alternate layers of one-third of mixture and remaining ladyfingers.
Chill overnight. Remove to cake plate. Garnish with unsweetened
