1 pkg Devil's Food Cake mix
1 T gelatin
1/4 c cold water
1/3 c sugar
1/4 t salt
1 3/4 c milk
1 pkg Baker Sweet German Chocolate
3 eggs, separated
1 t vanilla
Soften gelatin in 1/4 c cold water, set aside. Combine sugar, salt, and milk in saucepan. Add 1 pkg chocolate. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until chocolate is completely melted. Blend mixture well with egg beater. Add small amount of hot liquid to 3 slightly beaten egg yolks, whisking vigorously. Gradually add remaining hot mixture. Return to saucepan and cook over low lear until mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add gelatin/water, stir well. Pour into large bowl and chill until partially thickened. Stir in 1 t vanilla. In separate bowl, beat 3 egg whites till foamy. Gradually add sugar, then beat until very stiff. Fold into chocolate mixture. Chill overnight. (Chill in a large round bowl to make the igloo dome. Line the bowl with plastic wrap to facilitate removal.)
Prepare cake mix in 2 round pans. When completely cooled, place igloo on top of cake, frost with cool whip, garnish with chocolate curls.

I've made this for years, only have used sweetened whipped cream in place of Cool-Whip. I think my mom got it from a Baker's Chocolate package. Though it would mess up the shape (and thus make it NOT an igloo) I have wondered if it could be done in a 9x13 pan so that it would be more transportable...
