  bowl, combine the chocolate mixture, sugar, and vanilla and beat well. Add 
  the egg yolks, beating well after each addition. Blend in the flour and 
  water, and beat well.  Stir in the pecans. Clean the mixer beaters very 
  well and in a small bowl beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt 
  until stiff peaks form; carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate 
  mixture.  Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes or

  pan and the foil.  Pour the Chocolate Glaze over the torte spreading evenly 
  on the top and sides.
