Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease and line a 8-inch square cake pan.

Sift flours together and blend into chocolate mixture with eggs and vanilla.

Pour into pan. Bake 1 1/4-1 1/2 hours, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
