Special Bonus Passover Apple Cake Recipe

The good news is this cake is so good the kids fight over it.  The bad news is I'm not joking, my kids actually fight over it.  Try it and see what happens at your house.

Equipment:

1 9x9 or 8x8 square pan or 1 9" or 10" round cake pan (I use a flexible silicone pan and it's perfect; if you're using a metal pan I would recommend lining it with parchment or foil)

hand or stand mixer

spatula

mixing bowl

measuring spoons and cups

Ingredients:

Baking spray or vegetable oil

2 T confectioners sugar (optional, for coating pan)

2 apples

1 tsp cinnamon

2 T sugar

4 eggs

3/4 C sugar

1 tsp lemon juice

1/4 C potato starch

1/2 C matzo meal or matzo cake meal

Preheat oven to 350F.  Spray or pour the oil in the baking pan.  Sprinkle in the confectioners sugar if using and shake it around the pan to coat it (it won't spread as well as flour or year-round confectioners sugar would, but it'll be good enough).

Slice the apples thinly and lay the slices in the pan.  Sprinkle them with the cinnamon and 2 T sugar.

Beat the eggs for 5-10 minutes, until they've gotten light in color and at least doubled in volume.  Then add in the other ingredients and mix for about 1 minute.  Pour the batter into the pan over the apples

Bake for 40-45 minutes until lightly brown and well-set.  Cool in the pan on a rack.  When it's cool, you can invert it for an upside down cake or just serve it right out of the pan.

I wanted to add a photo, but the kids seriously ate the whole first cake and fought over the last slice.  I have the second cake in the oven, and I'll add a photo when I can!

Thank you for your Patience!

We know you've been waiting for information regarding your Gluten Free Oat Matza for Passover 2009.
It's been an interesting season this year. The timing for gluten free oat matza production took place during the Gaza War in Israel. As a result, there were not enough experienced workers to produce the matza in a timely fashion. The entire Kestenbaum Family (Rabbi Kestenbaum, his wife, married children and their children) all came to Israel to roll up their sleeves and help with the baking process. Costs were incredibly high, and delays (due to the War) were frequent.In addition, both Rabbi Kestenbaum and his wife have been in and out of the hospital since their return to England. We are in the process of confirming the final price for matza this year, but have not done so. We are working to keep the cost of the oat matza at the same price as last year, but I have no definite answer for you yet. The matza has been shipped to America, and will be arriving soon. PLEASE tell anyone you know, who is not already on the email list, to contact me with their email address so that they can be informed of all information, as soon as I have it.I will send you another email IMMEDIATELY upon receiving the pricing information. The shipping will be additional, as always, and will come through UPS. As in the past, I will not run your credit card until I get the final bill from UPS.If you don't care about the price, and would like to go ahead and place your order, you may email me with that information. Remember that I need the following information:Your Name Your Shipping and Billing Address Your Contact Phone Number(s) Which Credit Card (MasterCard, Visa, Discover) you will be using. If you choose, you may email me the number, expiration date, AND the THREE DIGIT SECURITY CODE OR--you may call me with that information. Quantity of boxes of machine matza, hand matza and matza meal you would like to order. Don't forget that matza meal is limited in quantity and it's first come, first served. I look forward to helping you meet your gluten free oat matza needs again this year. I will write again soon. If you call, please remember I am on the East Coast. Please call between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. EST. Thanks!
