This is THE Passover cake for chocolate lovers! Not sure where the recipe’s from, but it’s delicately scribbled in my mom’s handwriting in her cooking binder. She usually makes it the first or second night of Passover, and it never lasts more than 2 days in! Here are some other Passover recipes! Total time (from…

What’s more, I usually like warm desserts, but this one is better at room temperature in my opinion. That also makes it easy to transport and perfect for a mid-adventure snack. See for yourself, and…
