This rich, nutty confection is soaked in a honey-citrus syrup, giving it a flavor much like baklava. For the best flavor, soak overnight, and serve chilled. Ingredients:
cooking spray |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
3 large egg whites |
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup matzo cake meal |
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts |
1/4 cup finely chopped hazelnuts |
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2/3 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup honey |
1/3 cup fresh orange juice |
3 tablespoons water |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To prepare cake, coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Place 3/4 cup granulated sugar and next 4 ingredients (3/4 cup granulated sugar through eggs) in a large bowl; beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Stir in matzo cake meal and next 5 ingredients (matzo cake meal through 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon), beating until well blended. Pour into prepared pan; bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool completely.
3. To prepare syrup, combine 2/3 cup granulated sugar and remaining ingredients in a heavy saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring occasionally. Cool completely. Pierce top of cake several times with a fork; pour syrup over cake. Cover and chill.
