2. 2 Place butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until butter and chocolate are melted; mix well.
3. 3 Meanwhile, beat eggs and egg whites together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until very fluffy, about 5 minutes. Gently stir butter-chocolate mixture, sugar, coffee, and vanilla flavoring into egg mixture; beat well to combine.
4. 4 Combine potato starch, matzo cake meal, cocoa powder, and salt in a medium bowl; beat into chocolate-egg mixture until fluffy and thoroughly combined. Gently fold in chocolate chips until incorporated. Divide batter between the prepared baking pans.
5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into centers shows moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes.
