Best Matzo Red Velvet Cake Recipes

FABULOUS RED VELVET CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In the bowl of a mixer, cream together the shortening, eggs and sugar. In a separate small bowl, mix together the cocoa and food coloring. Add the paste to the shortening mixture. Sift the flour and salt together over parchment. Add to the batter alternately with the buttermilk in 3 additions. Add the vanilla extract. Fold in the baking soda and vinegar. Pour the batter into 2 greased 9-inch cake pans. Bake for 30 minutes or until an inserted cake tester comes out clean. Let cool on a cooling rack. Invert the cakes from the pans.
• Frosting: Over medium heat, cook the flour and milk until thickened. Let cool. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in the flour mixture.
• Frost the top of the first layer with frosting and set the second layer on top. Frost the entire cake with remaining frosting.

MATZO CAKE

Steps:

• Cream the butter and egg together. Add the cocoa and sugar and mix well.
• Slightly wet the matzo's. Add a couple of tablespoons of the mixture on to one matzo. Repeat three more times and stack the matzo's in order to get four layers. Cut them into squares.
• Do the same with the last two matzo's (there won't be enough spread for 8 whole matzo's). After cutting the matzo's stack two squares at a time in order to get four layers. No refrigeration is required before serving, but it is better to refrigerate any leftovers if you want them later.

APPLE MATZO CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 6 egg yolks, sugar, and salt until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Fold in apples, matzo meal, lemon zest, and brandy.
• In another medium bowl, with clean beaters, beat 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold egg whites into apple mixture and transfer batter to pan. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pecans. Bake until golden brown and set in center, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack. To serve, run a small knife around edge of pan, remove cake, and slice. Store cooled cake in pan, covered with plastic, at room temperature, up to 1 day.
