Now, you might wonder why in the world anyone would want a flourless cake, especially when you can make a regular ol’ cake with all the good stuff. Well, let me tell ya, during Passover, we ain’t allowed to eat no leavened bread or anything with flour. That means no cakes, no cookies, no nothin’ unless it’s specially made for the holiday. And that’s where this chocolate torte comes in. It’s simple, it’s rich, and it’s perfect for when you’re needin’ somethin’ sweet but don’t want to break no rules.
What makes this cake so special?
Well, first off, it’s a flourless cake, which means no flour. That makes it kinda dense but oh-so-chocolatey. You just can’t go wrong with chocolate, can ya? It’s like a little slice of heaven right there on your plate. And you can make it ahead of time, so if you’re havin’ company over for the Seder meal, you ain’t gotta worry about doin’ all the work last minute. Just pop it in the fridge, and it’s good to go.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Dark chocolate (the better the chocolate, the better the cake)
- Butter (don’t be shy with it, this cake needs it!)
- Sugar (don’t hold back, it’s a cake after all)
- Eggs (fresh eggs, if you can get ‘em, always make the best cakes)
- Vanilla extract (just a little splash to make everything come together)
- Salt (yes, even sweet things need a pinch of salt to bring out the flavor)
Now, you might be thinkin’, “That’s it? Just a few ingredients?” Well, that’s the beauty of it. Sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to chocolate! Let’s talk about how you make this cake, cause it’s as easy as pie—well, easier than pie actually!
How to Make Passover Flourless Chocolate Torte:
First, you wanna melt that dark chocolate and butter together. You can do this in a bowl over some simmerin’ hot water, or if you’re in a hurry, just throw it in the microwave for a few seconds, stirrin’ in between until it’s smooth. Then, in another bowl, crack those eggs and beat ‘em good with sugar. Don’t rush it, you want to get them eggs nice and fluffy.
Once the eggs are all mixed up, add in that chocolate and butter mixture along with the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Give it all a good stir until it’s all combined. Now, this part’s important: pour it into a greased cake pan, and make sure it’s a good one that won’t stick. If you want, line the bottom with some parchment paper too—just to be sure.
Next, pop that pan into the oven. You want to bake it at about 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes. You don’t want to overcook it, so check on it around 20 minutes. When it’s done, it’ll still be a little soft in the center, but don’t worry—it’ll set up once it cools. Let it cool completely before you try to cut into it, or you’ll end up with a big ol’ mess.
Once it’s cool, you can dust the top with some powdered sugar, or, if you’re feeling fancy, you can make a chocolate ganache to pour over it. A little bit of ganache on top, and you’ll feel like you’re eatin’ something from a bakery in the big city. Just melt some chocolate with a little cream and pour it right over the cake. It’ll look beautiful and taste even better.
What to Serve It With?
If you’re lookin’ for something to go with this here cake, you can’t go wrong with a cup of coffee. The bitterness of the coffee really balances out the sweetness of the chocolate. Some folks even like to have a little whipped cream on the side to make it extra creamy. Whatever you do, just enjoy it! This cake’s gonna hit the spot, especially during Passover when you’re tryin’ to follow all the rules but still want a little somethin’ sweet to finish off your meal.
Why This Cake Works for Passover:
Now, if you don’t know why this cake is perfect for Passover, let me explain. During Passover, we can’t have any leavened bread or anything that’s made with flour—so, a regular cake just won’t do. This flourless chocolate torte doesn’t have no flour, so it’s good to go. Plus, it’s got that rich, deep chocolate flavor that’ll satisfy any sweet tooth. It’s simple, it’s delicious, and it’s a great way to enjoy the holiday without breakin’ any traditions.
