Passover Chocolate Banana Cake Recipes

PASSOVER CHOCOLATE BANANA CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Lightly grease 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
• Beat egg yolks with 2/3 cup sugar in medium bowl until thick and light in color.
• Combine potato starch and cocoa; gradually add to egg mixture, beating until well blended.
• Stir in bananas.
• Beat egg whites in a large bowl until foamy.
• Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
• Stir about 1/2 cup beaten whites into cocoa mixture.
• Gently fold cocoa mixture into remaining egg white mixture, blending well.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan; sprinkle almonds on top.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes until top springs back when touched lightly in center.

• Cut into squares.

PASSOVER CHOCOLATE TORTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan with foil. Grease foil.
• Melt margarine and chocolate over low heat. Stir until smooth and let cool.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat whites until stiff; about 2 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat together yolks and sugar until thick and pale; about 1 minute. Blend in chocolate mixture and stir in almonds. Fold in beaten whites, 1/3 at a time, into chocolate until no streaks of white remain. Scrape into prepared pan.
• Place an 8 inch baking pan with 1 inch of water in it on the bottom rack of the oven (to make the torte more moist).
• Bake torte on center rack at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until sides begin to pull away from pan and top is set in center. Cover the torte loosely with foil for the last 20 minutes of baking. Note: Don't worry if the cake cracks because the top will be on the bottom later.
• Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes and then carefully remove sides of pan. Invert onto a serving plate and cool completely.

• Spread batter in the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
