  3. Gradually add the sugar to the butter and beat until well combined and creamy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Stir in the melted unsweetened chocolate until smooth and evenly distributed.
  6. In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking soda, and salt.
  7. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Fold in the coarsely chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s).
  10. Bake at 350ðF (177ðC) for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
