For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate. If you don't have superfine sugar, you can pulse regular granulated sugar in a food processor until it is finely ground. Be gentle when folding in the egg whites to maintain a light and airy texture. Adjust the amount of wine used for soaking depending on the thickness of your matzo. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts for garnish.

01 Step
Recipe View Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until almost melted. Remove from microwave and stir until completely smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the softened margarine and superfine sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, until well blended. (7 minutes)
03 Step

05 Step
Recipe View Pour 1/4 of the bottle of Concord grape wine into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Quickly dip one matzo sheet into the wine, soaking briefly on both sides. Be careful not to over-soak, as the matzo will become fragile. (1 minute per sheet)
06 Step
Recipe View Transfer the soaked matzo to a serving platter or cake stand. Spread a thin, even layer of the chocolate cream over the matzo. (2 minutes per layer)
07 Step
Recipe View Repeat the soaking and layering process with the remaining matzo sheets and chocolate cream, reserving enough chocolate mixture to frost the sides of the cake. Add more wine to the dish as needed for soaking. (20 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Once all layers are assembled, frost the sides of the cake with the remaining chocolate cream. Press chopped nuts onto the sides, or sprinkle them on top as a garnish. (10 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Refrigerate the cake overnight (or for at least 8 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the matzo to soften. (8 hours)
