Break up the chocolate and margarine into small pieces. Melt them together in a double boiler or microwave. Keep warm.
Whip the eggs yolks with half of the sugar until thick. In a searate bowl, whip the egg whites with the remaining sugar and salt until they form soft peaks.
Fold the yolk mixture into the chocolate. Fold in the whites in three parts.

My daughter’s birthday often fall on Passover and I always offer to bake her birthday cake. Unfortunately, the same recipe that turns out very well during the rest of the year is often a failure on Passover. Is it the quality of the chocolate and margarine that’s at issue or could it be something else? Where can I find good quality chocolate for Passover?
