  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup milk, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  6. Sprinkle 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gradually add 1 cup packed light brown sugar, beating until glossy.
  9. Fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
