Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch (23-cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
- Break up or chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl with the butter or margarine. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and allow the chocolate and butter to melt, stirring occasionally. When everything has melted, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
- In the meantime, put the egg yolks in a large bowl. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or in a large bowl, using a handheld mixer, whip the egg whites to very firm peaks, about 5 minutes.
- When the melted chocolate mixture has cooled, add it to the egg yolks, along with the sugar, and whisk well.
- Using a rubber spatula, stir about one-third or less of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Carefully spoon another third of the egg whites on top of the chocolate mixture and gently fold them in. Add the remaining whites and fold them in just until incorporated.
- Transfer half of the batter to another bowl and set aside in the refrigerator.
- Pour the remaining batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes: it will turn into a soft, moist cake. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan.
- When the cake has reached room temperature, pour the reserved chocolate mousse on top of it. Refrigerate the mousse cake, uncovered, for at least 2 hours, or overnight, until set.
- When you're ready to serve, run a sharp thin-bladed knife around the cake's edges and then remove the sides of the springform pan. Peel the paper from the bottom, and place the cake on a serving platter. Serve cold, decorated with chocolate shavings, if desired.
- Leftover cake will keep in the refrigerator, wrapped in aluminum foil, for a couple of days.
Tips:
- Use almond flour and coconut flour: These low-carb flours are gluten-free and provide a good texture to the cake.
- Sweeten with erythritol or stevia: These natural sweeteners have a low glycemic index and won't spike your blood sugar levels.
- Add a little bit of salt: Salt helps to balance out the sweetness of the cake and enhances the flavor of the chocolate.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at a low temperature: This helps to prevent the cake from drying out.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
This Passover low-carb chocolate cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people with all dietary restrictions. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
