Every year we are invited at Passover to some friends and every year they as not eat any Matzoh meal, so this cake is specially good for them at Passover. I give the recipe 5 stars for a Passover recipe.

This recipe is excellent and definitely exceeded my expectations, especially as it doesn't use any butter like my other flourless cake recipes do. I recommend using the best quality chocolate you can get (even the Kosher for Passover bittersweet chocolate is probably better than semi-sweet chocolate chips) for a richer chocolate flavor. Somehow, my egg whites didn't get as stiff as they could have been and then I got lazy and folded them into the chocolate batter using the fold setting on my Sunbeam mixer rather than doing it carefully by hand and this recipe still came out great. This is a keeper!
