Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
-----TORTE-----
6 oz Butter (or margarine)
3/4 c Sugar
7 Eggs, separated
4 oz Chocolate (bittersweet),
-melted and cooled
1 c Almonds (unblanched),
-finely ground
1/2 ts Baking powder
1/4 c Almonds (unblanched),
-chopped
-----ICING-----
4 Eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 ts Potato starch
4 oz Chocolate (bittersweet),
-melted
4 oz Margarine, softened
1/2 c Almonds, finely ground

TO MAKE TORTE: Cream the butter and gradually beat in
the sugar until the mixture is light and creamy. Beat
in the yolks, one at a time. Blend in the chocolate,
and gently fold in the ground almonds mixed with the
baking powder. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not
dry, then fold into the mixture.

Pour into a well-greased 10-inch springform pan. Bake
about 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 350 degrees
F. degrees. Allow to cool, then frost thickly with the
icing and sprinkle with the chopped nuts.

TO MAKE ICING: Mix together the eggs, sugar and
potato starch in the top of a double boiler. Heat over
boiling water, stirring, until mixture thickens.
Do not boil the mixture, and beware of "scrambled
eggs!" Cool, then stir in the chocolate.

Gradually beat in the butter, one tablespoon at a
time. Fold in the nuts until the mixture is thick
enough to spread.

NOTES:

* Rich chocolate dessert for Passover. This is the
only Passover dessert I've ever tasted that is good
enough to be making during the rest of the year as
well (when you can use corn starch instead of the
potato starch).

* If you don't have a springform pan for Passover,
use an aluminum disposable cake pan and just strip off
the sides when the cake has cooled.

: Difficulty: moderate.
: Time: 30 minutes preparation, 30 minutes baking, 5
minutes frosting. : Precision: measure the
ingredients.
