Queen mother’s cake
My mom made Maida Heatter’s flourless chocolate cake for post-Seder dessert. It’s not the world’s most attractive cake; the almonds make it a weird not-quite-chocolate color, like a dark beige. It is however one of the world’s most delicious cakes and you should make it whether you’re abstaining from leavened bread or not. The icing is a thick, rich, intensely coffee-chocolatey glaze, like a more sophisticated version of what’s on donuts.
One of my favourite recipes is this (almost) flourless cake1. Like the above, it will not win any beauty contests, but that’s ok with me.
1 You can substitute the tablespoon of flour with cocoa or almond meal.
