How to Make Israeli Chocolate Cake With Instant Icing

  1. In a saucepan over low heat, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
  2. Add 1/2 cup margarine and continue to simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the margarine is completely melted and incorporated.
  3. Remove from heat and stir until the mixture is completely smooth and combined.
  4. Refrigerate the chocolate mixture until completely cool.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1 tablespoon rum, and 1 tablespoon sweet wine until light and frothy.
  6. Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined.
  7. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  8. In a separate bowl, gently whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  9. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until just combined. Then, gently fold 3/4 of the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture.
  10. Reserve the remaining 1/3 of the chocolate mixture for the icing. Pour the cake batter into an 8x8 inch greased baking pan.
  11. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. While the cake is still warm, pour the reserved chocolate mixture over the top as an instant icing. Let cool completely before serving.
