Time 30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ½ (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
½ cup margarine
1 cup superfine sugar
3 egg yolks
3 egg whites
8 matzo sheets
1 (750 milliliter) bottle concord grape wine
¼ cup finely chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave by heating at 30 second intervals, and stirring between each one. When chocolate is almost melted, just remove from the microwave and stir until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time until well blended. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of superfine sugar until stiff. Fold the melted chocolate into the sugar mixture, then fold in the egg whites.
  • Pour 1/4 of the bottle of wine into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Soak one of the matzo sheets briefly on both sides, then remove to a serving platter. If you soak too long, it will break apart and become hard to work with. Spread a thin layer of the chocolate cream over the soaked matzo. Continue soaking and layering the matzos and chocolate cream, leaving enough of the chocolate mixture to frost the sides when finished. Add more wine to the dish as necessary for soaking.
  • Press chopped nuts onto the sides, or sprinkle them on top for garnish. Refrigerate overnight to allow the chocolate and wine to blend flavors.

This cake was amazing! I made it for my family for Passover and they all loved it. The recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out perfect. I will definitely be making this cake again.

I'm not a huge fan of Passover cakes, but this one was really good! The chocolate layers were moist and flavorful, and the frosting was light and fluffy. I would definitely make this cake again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting next time.

This cake is absolutely stunning! I made it for my sister's birthday and she was so impressed. The layers are so delicate and the frosting is so smooth and creamy. It's definitely a showstopper.

I've made this cake for the past three Passovers and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of chocolate, vanilla, and nuts is perfect, and the frosting is to die for. I highly recommend this recipe.

This cake was a huge hit at our Passover seder! Everyone loved the moist, fluffy layers and the delicious frosting. It was also surprisingly easy to make, even for a beginner baker like me. I will definitely be making this cake again next year.
