2 cups plus 3 tablespoons sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine, softened 6 eggs
2-3/4 cups cake meal 3/4 cup potato starch 1 cup chopped walnuts
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon



1 Preheat the oven to 350 F.
2 Combine 2 cups of the sugar and the margarine in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until creamy. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until well blended.
3 Sift the cake meal and potato starch into the egg mixture. Beat until well blended. Fold in the walnuts and chocolate chips.
4 Shape the mixture into 3 loaves, about 3x6 inches each, on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Arrange the loaves about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. THe dough will be sticky.
