Time 1h40m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 egg yolks
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon orange zest
¾ cup matzo cake meal
¼ cup potato starch
8 egg whites
½ cup white sugar
1 ½ tablespoons fresh orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cut parchment paper to line the bottom of a 10 inch tube pan. Do not grease the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whip egg yolks until light. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and orange zest; continue whipping until thick and pale, about 7 minutes. Sift together the matzo cake meal and potato starch; set aside. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture alternately with the juice. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cake springs back to the touch. Invert onto a wire rack to cool. Run a knife around the sides of the cake before removing from the pan.

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.
