Yield 10-12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon finely minced orange zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4teaspoon ground cinnamon
(Use 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon for a more pronounced cinnamon flavor)
1/2 cup matzo cake meal
1/2 cup finely chopped hazelnuts or almonds
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1/3 cup orange juice
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 7-inch spring form pan with parchment paper, and generously grease the sides of the pan. 2.Beat the granulated and brown sugars with the oil and eggs in a medium-sized mixing bowl, using a wire whisk until the mixture is thick and pale yellow. Stir in the remaining batter ingredients. Turn the batter into the prepared pan. 3. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is light brown and set. Cool for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the Soaking Syrup. 4. In a medium saucepan, combine the ingredients. Heat the sauce pan to dissolve the sugar and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture becomes syrupy. Cool well. 5. Pour the cooled syrup over the cooled cake, poking holes in the cake with a fork, to permit the syrup to penetrate. Allow it to stand for 2 to 4 hours to absorb the syrup. I prefer to refrigerate this cake so that while it is absorbing the liquid, it is also firming up. Also, chilling the cake offsets its sweetness and makes it easier to cut. Serve it on splayed muffin liners.

I would not recommend this recipe. The cake was dense and flavorless.
