Cómo preparar Mock Chestnut Torte Passover Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted margarine or butter with 1/3 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large egg yolks one at a time, then stir in 1 1/2 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes, 1 teaspoon rum extract, and 1/2 cup melted bittersweet chocolate (cooled).
  4. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the sweet potato mixture to lighten the batter.
  6. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Chill for at least 2 hours before glazing (or freeze for up to a month).
  10. For the Chocolate Ganache Glaze: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over simmering water, melt 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until smooth.
  11. Let cool slightly before pouring over the chilled cake. Spread evenly with a spatula.
  12. Alternatively, dust with cocoa powder or decorate with chocolate shavings and fresh berries.
