Ingredients:

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup matzoh cake meal
  • 1/4 cup potato starch
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 orange , zest (rind) of, finely minced

Directions:

  1. Spoon batter into a 10-inch tube pan lined in the bottom with baking parchment or greased brown paper.
  2. Place in a preheated 375-degree oven and immediately lower heat to 325 degrees.
  3. Bake until cake springs back to the touch, about 50 minutes. remove from over, let cool well before inverting/removing. (it helps to run a flat knife around the edge to separate cake from pan.)
  4. For the passover confectioners' sugar:
  5. Place sugar and potato starch in a food processor and process until blended, about 3 minutes. Use as a garnish by sifting over cake lightly and arrange shreds of orange peel on top. (regular conf. sugar includes cornstarch, which is a by-product of corn, which most authorities forbid.)
