Yield Makes one 8-inch square cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon mace
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3 large eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for baking dish
3/4 cup matzo cake meal
5 medium apples, such as Golden Delicious or Crispin, peeled, cored, halved, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 5 cups)
1/3 cup raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in the center. Lightly spray an 8-inch-square glass baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Mix together walnuts, 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, and ginger in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat eggs on medium speed until well combined. Beat in remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, until mixture is thick and foamy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in oil. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Stir in matzo cake meal.
  • Pour half of the batter into prepared cake pan. Sprinkle over half of the walnut mixture, half of the apples, and raisins. Pour over remaining batter and top with remaining apples; sprinkle over remaining walnut mixture.
  • Transfer cake to oven and bake until the sides of the cake pull away from the baking dish very slightly and topping begins to caramelize, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove cake from oven and let stand for several hours until completely cool, before cutting. Keep cake covered tightly with plastic wrap for up to 2 days, as the flavor improves with age.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Apple Dessert Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, room temperature
3 eggs, separated
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup orange juice
1 cup white sugar
1 cup matzo cake meal
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and quartered

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable shortening.
  • Beat egg whites in a metal, glass, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Set aside.
  • Place the egg yolks, oil, and orange juice into a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy and thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of sugar, mixing well, then lightly stir in the matzo cake meal and salt. Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the matzo meal mixture. Gently run the spatula through the center of the mixture, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites, folding until just incorporated.
  • Mix together 3/4 cup of sugar with cinnamon in a bowl. Spread half the batter into the prepared baking pan; distribute the apple quarters evenly over the batter. Sprinkle the apple pieces with about 1/2 cup of the sugar-cinnamon mixture, spread the remaining batter over the apples; sprinkle the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top of the cake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cut into squares while still warm.

KOSHER FOR PASSOVER APPLE CAKE



KOSHER FOR PASSOVER APPLE CAKE image

Categories     Cake     Bake     Passover     Apple     Kosher

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Cake:
3 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup oil
3/4 cup cake meal
Zest of one Meyer lemon-if you don't have a Meyer lemon, skip the zest
5 apples, peeled, cored and sliced-Granny Smith is best, tossed with lemon juice to keep from browning.
Topping-here is an approximate recipe. I sort of worked by feel, rubbing the margarine, brown sugar, and matza meal together by hand, and I didn't measure precisely. The topping should have the texture of coarse corn meal.
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine
1/2 cup matza meal
1/2 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • In a medium-size mixing bowl,beat the eggs with the sugar and oil until the mixture is light. Add the cake meal and mix well. Pour half the mixture into a lightly greased 8 or 9-inch square baking pan. Distribute half of the apples over the batter. Pour the remaining batter over the apples and cover with the remaining apples. Combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl; sprinkle over the apples. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 1 1/2 hours. Serves 8 or 9. Double the recipe and you will have a 9×13 inch cake.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality of apples. The apples are the star of the show in this cake, so make sure you use a variety that is flavorful and juicy. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.

Conclusion:

This Passover apple cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the apples add a touch of sweetness and crunch. Whether you are celebrating Passover or just looking for a tasty treat, this cake is sure to please.
