Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 tablespoons Passover margarine or butter
2/3 cup superfine sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar
4 organic free-range eggs
2/3 cup cake meal
2/3 cup potato flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Passover baking powder
a pinch of salt
3 tablespoons milk or water
6-8 tablespoons jam of your choice
superfine sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 7-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the margarine or butter with the sugars until light and fluffy. Separate the eggs and beat in the yolks only. Sift in the cake meal, potato flour, and baking powder, and fold in carefully. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Add a spoonful of the egg white to the cake batter and mix in thoroughly. Now fold in the rest of the eggs whites, taking care not to knock out any air. Spoon the mixture into your prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until risen and golden.
  • After the cake has cooled, slice in half horizontally and spread the bottom half with jam. Replace the top half and sprinkle superfine sugar over the top.

These cakes were a bit dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more oil or butter next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Passover desserts, but these cakes were surprisingly good. They were moist and flavorful, and the glaze was the perfect amount of sweetness.

These cakes were easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used a bundt pan and they came out perfectly golden brown. The flavor was amazing - moist and flavorful with a hint of orange.

These Passover cakes were a hit at our Seder! They were so moist and flavorful, and the orange glaze added a delicious touch. I will definitely be making these again next year.
