When smooth, take off fire and beat in egg yolks one at a time, beating each time. Beat egg whites stiffly and fold into chocolate mixture. Whip cream and set aside. Line a loaf pan or around the mold with waxed paper and put ½ of the ladyfingers or thin strips of pound cake in the bottom of the pan. Pour in half of the mixture and ¼-inch layer of whipping cream. Put another layer of cake, a layer of chocolate and a layer of cream. Chill at least 24 hours. Cut in slices and serve with whipped cream and garnish with grated chocolate.
