How to Make A Yummy Chocolate Cake For Passover

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan (or two 9-inch round pans).
  3. Separate 9 large eggs, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 9 egg yolks, 2 cups Passover cake meal, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until light and fluffy.
  5. Stir in ½ cup sweet wine (such as Manischewitz) and 1 cup chopped pecans (optional).
  6. In a separate bowl, beat 9 egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool upside down in the pan for at least 30 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
