150g bittersweet chocolate, about 5 oz.
Mix chocolate sugar and wine and melt together in bain marie (I use microwave instead).
Add margarine, and mix well. When melted, remove from heat and cool. Put in a large bowl.
Beat yolks, and stir into cooled chocolate mixture.
Add to chocolate mixture potato starch and baking powder and stir until smooth.
Whip egg whites; when foam begins to form add sugar in 2-3 additions, and whip until peaks are formed. Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture.
Pour into greased 26cm/10" springform pan. Bake at 350°F for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick returns dry. Cool in pan for 15 minutes and then remove to rack and cool.

Nutritional Info Per Serving: N/A
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp. wine, any kind
150g margarine, about 5 oz.
6 yolks
1-1/4 cups potato starch
1 heaping tsp. baking powder
6 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar
Provided you are willing to use baking powder (and I don't see why not), this cake is a real hit. It never fails, it's very easy to make, and it comes out so high, that frequently I make it not on Passover.
