For Pesach we don't eat chametz (anything that is leavened). So we don't eat anything good dessert wise. Instead of regular flour we substitute with matza meal, which to be quite honest doesn’t taste that good. There is of course ways to go around (like the amazing Principe Alberto Cake) but we are supposed to suffer a bit because of our ancestors that walked out of Egypt, and therefore we eat matza.
This is a good Pesach cake with cake meal (finely ground matza meal) and orange. This is a big batch, so if you have a lot of people coming over this is a perfect cake to make.
Ingredients
11 eggs
1 cup cake meal
1/2 cup orange juice
Peel from one orange
1 1/4 cup of sugar
3 tbs vegetable oil (not olive oil)
Topping: icing sugar
1. Line a round pan with butter and matza meal.
2. Separate the yolks from the eggs whites. Beat the yolks with the sugar. Add the remaining ingredients (except for egg whites).
3. Beat the egg whites separately and then mix gently with the batter, so the air stays.
4. Place in oven for 50 minutes at 180°C. This is a big cake, so it can be put into a big round pan or two medium ones (we put a pan underneath because it sometimes leaks). If you use two medium ones, let them bake for 30 minutes instead of 50 minutes.
