Most flourless chocolate cake recipes\u2014whether from the New York Times<\/em>, celebrated pastry chef Fran\u00e7ois\u00a0Payard, or the Stop & Shop supermarket chain\u2014look surprisingly similar.

For Passover, if you have a little more time and want a Seder showstopper, try Leah\u2019s Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Almond Macaroons<\/a>, Zell Schulman\u2019s Chocolate Mousse Torte from Israel<\/a>, or the Passover-Easter St. James Almond Cake.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

      Optional: fresh berries<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n

      2. Microwave margarine and chocolate chips in a bowl on high for 1 minute. Stir. Continue to microwave in 15-second zaps until margarine and chocolate are melted and smooth, stirring after each zap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs and vanilla well. Add the melted chocolate and whisk to combine. Sift in the cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Pour the chocolate mixture into the greased pan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
