How to Make Moroccan Passover Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a clean, grease-free bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites with 1/2 cup sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar until pale and fluffy.
  4. Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg white mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the whites.
  5. Gently fold in the chopped walnuts.
  6. Gradually fold in the shredded coconut, one cup at a time, until just combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the sides of the springform pan and letting it cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. While the cake is cooling, whisk together the orange juice and orange liqueur in a small bowl.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, carefully pour the orange mixture evenly over the top.
  11. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
  12. Before serving, garnish with bittersweet chocolate shavings and optional whipped cream.
