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.

This apple cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added more oil or butter. The flavor was good, but the texture was a bit off.

This apple cake was just okay. It wasn't as moist as I would have liked, and the flavor was a bit too sweet for my taste. I probably won't make this again.

This apple cake was a disappointment. The texture was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but I'm not sure what went wrong. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
