These brownies, created by Capsuto Frere Restaurant in New York City for their Passover Seder, are moist and delicious all year round.

3. Beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff but not dry. Fold into the batter. Pour into a 9-inch square greased baking tin. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 45 minutes. Cool and cut in squares.
