Ingredients:
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter, melted
6 tablespoons matzo meal
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1/8 teaspoon water

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
3. In a medium-size mixing bowl, blend eggs, sugar, and butter. Mix in matzo meal, cocoa powder and walnuts (if desired). Transfer batter to prepared baking pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.
In a small mixing bowl, blend chocolate:

Ingredients:
750g frozen organic raspberries
85g fructose (available at supermarkets)
10 ml (2 tsp) vodka (optional)
Crushed ice

Method:
Thaw the raspberries, then pur’e them in a blender.
Pass the pur’e through a coarse sieve to remove the seeds.
Weigh out 600g of the pur’e and add to a bowl containing the fructose and vodka if using.
Stir until the fructose has dissolved. At this point the sorbet base can be refrigerated until needed.
To prepare the frozen sorbet, pour the raspberry base into the bowl of a food mixer and, using the paddle attachment, begin mixing it at a slow speed. Crush the dry ice by wrapping in a tea towel and beating with a rolling pin.
Slowly add spoonfuls of crushed ice. Continue mixing and adding ice a little at a time until the sorbet has frozen. Serve immediately or place in the freezer.

Ingredients:
Cake:
1 (18-1/4 ounce) box of golden butter cake mix (can substitute any yellow cake mix)
4 eggs
1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges in light syrup
1/2 cup canola or other vegetable oil

Icing:
1 (8 oz.) container whipped topping
1 (3.4 oz.) box instant vanilla pudding
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple in juice

Method:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour two 9″x2″ cake pans and set aside.
Combine the cake mix, eggs, oranges with syrup, and oil in a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy and the oranges have pureed into the batter–about 4 minutes.
Divide equally among pans.
Bake until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean (about 30 to 35 minutes).
Remove cakes to rack to cool for about 5 minutes, then invert onto racks to cool completely.
Make Icing: Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment. Cream the whipped topping, pudding mix, and pineapple until smooth.
Assembly:Put one layer on a cardboard cake round. Spread with frosting.

Repeat with remaining layer and finish frosting cake.
