Apple Matzo Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat an 8-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat 6 egg yolks, sugar, and salt until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Fold in apples, matzo meal, lemon zest, and brandy.
• In another medium bowl, with clean beaters, beat 3 egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold egg whites into apple mixture and transfer batter to pan. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with pecans. Bake until golden brown and set in center, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cake cool completely in pan on a wire rack. To serve, run a small knife around edge of pan, remove cake, and slice. Store cooled cake in pan, covered with plastic, at room temperature, up to 1 day.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil. Add the sugar, matzo, potato starch, and salt and mix until blended. Stir in the apples.
• Spray a 2 1/2-inch by 3 1/4-inch muffin tin with non-stick spray. Fill 3/4 full with the batter and dust with the cinnamon sugar. Bake until the tops spring back when pressed, about 15 to 18 minutes.
• Cool on a rack and remove from the tin when they are at room temperature.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• 2. Toss the apples with the brown sugar and orange juice, set aside in a medium bowl.
• 3. Break the matzoh into 2- to 3-inch pieces and soak in 1 cup of warm water until soft but not mushy. Set aside.
• 4. While the matzoh soaks, beat the eggs with a wire whisk in a large bowl until blended. Add the salt, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, raisins, and apricots.
• 5. Squeeze the liquid from the softened matzoh and add the matzoh to the egg mixture with the apples. Stir the kugel well and pour into a lightly greased 2 1/2-quart casserole dish or a 10x14-inch pan. Dot the top of the kugel with the 4 tablespoons of butter.
• 6. Bake the kugel for 1 hour. Cover the top with foil if the top begins to become too brown early in the baking. Remove the kugel from the oven and cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place matzo farfel and water in large bowl; let stand 15 min. or until softened.
• Add eggs, apples, pineapple and walnuts; stir until well blended. Spoon into greased 13x9-inch baking dish; sprinkle evenly with cinnamon.
• Bake 1 hour or until top is browned and edges are crisp. Cool 10 min. before cutting into 12 squares to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with vegetable shortening.
• Beat egg whites in a metal, glass, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites should form a sharp peak that holds its shape. Set aside.
• Place the egg yolks, oil, and orange juice into a mixing bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy and thick, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of sugar, mixing well, then lightly stir in the matzo cake meal and salt. Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold about 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the matzo meal mixture. Gently run the spatula through the center of the mixture, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites, folding until just incorporated.
• Mix together 3/4 cup of sugar with cinnamon in a bowl. Spread half the batter into the prepared baking pan; distribute the apple quarters evenly over the batter. Sprinkle the apple pieces with about 1/2 cup of the sugar-cinnamon mixture, spread the remaining batter over the apples; sprinkle the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top of the cake.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Cut into squares while still warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack set in the center. Lightly spray an 8-inch-square glass baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
• Mix together walnuts, 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, and ginger in a medium bowl; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat eggs on medium speed until well combined. Beat in remaining 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, until mixture is thick and foamy. With the mixer running, slowly pour in oil. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Stir in matzo cake meal.
• Pour half of the batter into prepared cake pan. Sprinkle over half of the walnut mixture, half of the apples, and raisins. Pour over remaining batter and top with remaining apples; sprinkle over remaining walnut mixture.
• Transfer cake to oven and bake until the sides of the cake pull away from the baking dish very slightly and topping begins to caramelize, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove cake from oven and let stand for several hours until completely cool, before cutting. Keep cake covered tightly with plastic wrap for up to 2 days, as the flavor improves with age.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Dust a greased 13x9-in. baking dish 1/4 cup matzo meal; set aside., In a large bowl, combine apples, 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon; set aside.

Steps:

• Cream the butter and egg together. Add the cocoa and sugar and mix well.
• Slightly wet the matzo's. Add a couple of tablespoons of the mixture on to one matzo. Repeat three more times and stack the matzo's in order to get four layers. Cut them into squares.
• Do the same with the last two matzo's (there won't be enough spread for 8 whole matzo's). After cutting the matzo's stack two squares at a time in order to get four layers. No refrigeration is required before serving, but it is better to refrigerate any leftovers if you want them later.
