Passover desserts cannot have any leavening agents, to symbolize the Israelites’ exodus out of Egypt, leaving with bread that did not have time to rise. Because of this,Passoverdesserts — we’re looking at you, coconut macaroons — have a reputation for being extremely dry. When speaking of this holiday’s treats, it’s rare to even utter “delicious” and “Passover-friendly” in the same sentence.
This flourless chocolate cake is so sinfully rich and thick and decadent it should be one of the Ten Commandments: Thou shalt eat this for Passover… and year-round.
And it’s as easy to make as your standard brownie recipe. To grease the pan, you can use the remaining butter clinging to the butter’s paper wrapper — a thrifty tip my grandmother taught me — or stick to good old nonstick spray. You can choose to cut this cake into eight wedges to satisfy the serious chocoholics or 10 to create more elegant, slender slices.
