Best No Bake 7 Layer Matzah Cake Recipes

NO BAKE 7 LAYER MATZAH CAKE

Steps:

• Melt chocolate over warm water in a double boiler. (I prefer using a microwave stirring a couple of times). Allow to cool.
• In a medium sized bowl, cream margarine with the sugar until the magarine is fluffy and the sugar dissolved. Add egg yolks 1 at a time beating well.
• Fold the cooled melted chocolate into the egg yolk mixture.
• In a clean medium sized bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold the chocolate-egg mixture into the stiffly beaten egg whites.
• Pour wine into a large shallow pan. Dip each matzah 1 at a time into the wine just enough to moisten but not to soak. Place 1 moistened matzah on a serving plate. Cover with approximately 1 1/2 Tbs. of filling. Continue this process until the eighth matzah is on top. Cover top and sides with the remainder of the filling.
• Decorate with chopped nuts and chocolate curls or other decorations.
• Cover the cake loosely with the plastic wrap and let the cake mellow for 24 hours in the refrigerator. Cut into thin slices or small squares.

NO-BAKE 7 LAYER PASSOVER CAKE

Steps:

• Melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave by heating at 30 second intervals, and stirring between each one. When chocolate is almost melted, just remove from the microwave and stir until smooth. Set aside. (or just melt the chocolate by your favorite method). Adding a hazelnut flavored liquor to the chocolate will make this cake even more delicious!
• In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg yolks one at a time until well blended.
• In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of superfine sugar until stiff.
• Fold the melted chocolate into the sugar mixture, then fold in the egg whites (carefully - fold in, do not mix).
• Pour 1/4 of the bottle of wine into an 8x8 inch baking dish (you may need to add more later).
• Soak one of the matzo sheets briefly on both sides, then remove to a serving platter (if you soak too long, it will break apart and become hard to work with).
• Spread a thin layer of the chocolate cream over the soaked matzo.
• Continue soaking and layering the matzos and chocolate cream, leaving enough of the chocolate mixture to frost the sides when finished.
• Press chopped nuts onto the sides, or sprinkle them on top for garnish.
• Refrigerate overnight to allow the chocolate and wine to blend flavors.
