Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 cup matzo meal
1 1/4 cups sugar
6 large eggs, separated and at room temperature
2 tsp orange zest, grated
1/2 cup orange juice, fresh-squeezed
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
4 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 (10 oz) package frozen raspberries in light syrup, thawed
2 tbsp sugar
1 pint strawberry, hulled and sliced
fresh strawberries, for garnish (optional)

In large bowl, with clean beaters, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in remaining sugar; beat until stiff, shiny peaks form.
Stir almond mixture into egg-yolk mixture. Fold in egg-white mixture and chocolate until no white streaks remain. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 50 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pan on rack 10 minutes. Run knife around edges of cake to loosen; remove pan sides. Let cool completely.

To serve:.
Garnish with small fresh strawberries and fresh raspberries; dust lightly with kosher confectioners' sugar, if desired. Serve sauce on the side.
