- Make syrup:
- Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil 1 minute. Cool.
- Make cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil 13 x 9 x 2-inch metal baking pan. Finely grind almonds and 1/2 cup sugar in processor; transfer to medium bowl. Whisk in matzo cake meal, matzo meal, cinnamon and allspice. Using electric mixer, beat eggs and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in large bowl until very thick and pale in color, about 10 minutes. Beat in oil and lemon peel. Fold in almond mixture. Transfer batter to prepared pan.
- Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cut hot cake into 32 squares; leave in pan. Drizzle cooled syrup over.
