Time 1h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

cooking spray
¼ cup matzo cake meal, sifted
¾ cup potato starch, sifted
10 eggs, separated
1 cup white sugar
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cold strong coffee
¼ cup chopped walnuts, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Spray a 10-inch tube pan with cooking spray.
  • Sift matzo cake meal with potato starch into a bowl; set aside.
  • Place egg yolks into a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until light, about 3 minutes.
  • Slowly beat 1 cup sugar into the egg yolks; continue beating until mixture is thick and pale, about 5 more minutes. Beat cocoa powder into the egg yolk mixture until thoroughly combined.
  • Beat egg whites with an electric mixer fitted with clean beaters in a separate bowl until foamy. Gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar and continue to beat until egg whites hold stiff peaks.
  • Lightly stir matzo cake meal mixture and coffee into egg yolk-cocoa mixture.
  • Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the batter, retaining as much volume as possible. Fold in remaining egg whites, mixing just until no white streaks remain. Gently mix in chopped walnuts.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared tube pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top of cake shows small cracks and springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the sides of cake to loosen from the pan. Invert cake onto a wire rack to cool.

The cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the ganache was perfect.

The ganache was too thick and didn't spread evenly over the cake.

Followed the recipe exactly and the cake turned out dense and dry. Not sure what went wrong.

I'm not a huge fan of Passover desserts, but this chocolate sponge cake is definitely an exception. It's the perfect balance of sweetness and chocolate without being too heavy.

The recipe was easy to follow and didn't require any special ingredients or equipment. I used a 9x13 inch baking pan and the cake baked perfectly. The ganache was a bit tricky to make, but it turned out smooth and creamy.

This chocolate Passover sponge cake was a delightful treat! It was incredibly moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor that wasn't too overpowering. The sponge cake itself was light and airy, and the chocolate ganache added a decadent touch.
