How to Make No Yolk Chocolate Fudge Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan.
- In a food processor, pulse 1 cup walnuts until finely chopped, but not into a paste.
- Add 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, zest of 1 orange, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar to the food processor. Process until finely ground.
- Stir in 1/4 cup fresh orange juice and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition, until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gently fold about 1/3 of the egg whites into the walnut mixture.
- Fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted margarine and gently fold everything together until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Run a knife around the edges and carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Wrap the cake tightly and refrigerate until ready to glaze (at least 2 hours, preferably overnight).
- **Glaze:** In a small, heavy saucepan, combine 6 ounces (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons orange juice, 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted margarine, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Stir over moderately low heat until the chocolate and margarine are melted and smooth.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Pour the glaze evenly over the cake, tilting to coat the sides.
- Garnish with walnut halves.
- Chill, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes, or until the glaze is set.
- Serve at room temperature.
