I’m not sure anyone in the family including my sister has made the cake since, but upon finding an old photo of Lindsey presenting her creation at the dinner table, I felt I had to make it. At the very least, I knew it would look festive on the table, the kids would find it enchanting, and my few guests would welcome a sliver of anything chocolaty. Dense with a mousse-like texture, this cake is definitely for chocolate lovers — intense chocolate lovers. If you have made the torta caprese and are into making comparison charts, this cake has the same amount of chocolate and the same number of eggs for half the amount of butter (one sticks versus two) and no almonds or almond flour (two cups of ground almonds go into the the torta caprese). For me, this cake is festive and fun more than anything. It puffs way up when it bakes and sinks when it cools, a crackly meringue-like layer forming a perfect base to house dozens of colorful candy eggs. If you love a rich chocolate cake, this one’s for you. Have a wonderful holiday and weekend, Everyone. I’ll leave you with my favorite holiday reminder: If you’re making a ham, don’t forget the ham sauce! Seriously, so good.

I’ve made two changes: salt has been added as have a couple of tablespoons of booze. I think this cake really needs a dollop of lightly sweetened (or not) whipped cream or something like a crème anglaise, if you are up for it.

As leavened flour is prohibited during Passover, flourless chocolate cakes are popular Passover desserts. This rich chocolate cake rises dramatically, cracks and then falls. When dusted with Passover “confectioners’ sugar” and garnished with berries, the cake looks striking on the table. 4.7 from 3 reviews
