What should I make for Passover?
For traditionalists, if there are any out there, this recipe makes a sponge cake that's better than any other I've ever had.
Aunt Ida's Passover Sponge Cake
12 eggs, separated
1 cup matza cake meal
1/2 cup potato starch
1 T. oil
2 cups sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 T. vanilla
1 cup orange juice
1. Sift meal and starch together and set aside.
2. Add oil and vanilla to egg yolks. Add sugar and salt while beating.
3. While beating, add orange juice alternately with sifted dry ingredients. Beat until creamy.
4. Beat egg whites until stiff, and fold into egg yolk mixture.
5. Bake at 325 F. for 50-60 minutes in a 12" spring pan if you can find one or a 10" tube pan (bake the remaining batter in an additional small pan.) Test for doneness. Top should spring back when touched lightly. Start checking at 45 minutes. Avoid overbaking.
