Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:



1 1/3 c Butter
1 1/2 c Sugar; plus...
1/3 c Sugar; (divided use)
2/3 c HERSHEY'S Cocoa
5 Eggs; separated
2 tb Water
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Ground blanched almonds
3 tb Matzo cake meal
1/2 c Apricot preserves
CHOCOLATE CREAM FROSTING
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 c HERSHEY'S Cocoa.
1 c Whipping cream
1/2 ts Vanilla extract.
Whole almonds (optional)

1. Heat oven to 350 F. Line bottoms of two 9-inch round baking pans
with parchment or wax paper.

2. In medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add 1-1/2 cups

room temperature.

3. In large bowl, beat egg yolks until slightly thickened. Gradually
add cocoa mixture, beating until blended. Stir in water and vanilla.
Stir together ground almonds and cake meal; stir about half of
mixture into chocolate batter. In small bowl, beat egg whites until
foamy; gradually add remaining 1/3 cup sugar, beating until stiff
peaks form. Fold remaining almond mixture into beaten whites.
Gradually add egg white mixture to chocolate batter, folding gently
until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pans.

4. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center
comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes (cake will settle slightly). Remove
from pans to wire racks; peel off paper. Cool completely.

Discard fruit. Spread melted preserves over top of layer. Top with
remaining layer.
