Chocolate Torte Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
   
   
2. Combine matzo meal and walnuts in a food processor; process until nuts are finely chopped. Spread on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
   
   
3. Whisk eggs, 3/4 cup sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until blended. Stir in the matzo mixture, apple, cocoa, and chocolate.
   
   
4. In a large, clean bowl, beat egg whites and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy. Increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until glossy, stiff peaks form.
   
   
5. Stir one-quarter of the beaten whites into the batter. Then gently fold in remaining whites with a rubber spatula. Scrape the batter into an ungreased 9-inch springform pan, spreading evenly. Tap pan lightly on counter to release air bubbles.
   
   
6. Bake torte until top springs back when touched lightly and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. With a knife, loosen edges of torte. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack. (Torte will sink in center.)
   
   
7. Remove torte from pan and place on a serving plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.
