Sondras Passover Sponge Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cut parchment paper to line the bottom of a 10 inch tube pan. Do not grease the pan.
• In a medium bowl, whip egg yolks until light. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and orange zest; continue whipping until thick and pale, about 7 minutes. Sift together the matzo cake meal and potato starch; set aside. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture alternately with the juice. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cake springs back to the touch. Invert onto a wire rack to cool. Run a knife around the sides of the cake before removing from the pan.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees with rack in center. Whisk together matzo cake meal, potato starch, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat yolks and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until thick and pale yellow. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with juice and zests.
• In the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitter with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until foamy. With machine running, gradually add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the salt. Continue beating until soft peaks form. Remove from mixer. Gently but thoroughly, fold egg whites into yolk mixture in two additions.
• Pour into a nonstick 10-inch tube pan. Bake until golden, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, and invert onto a narrow necked bottle. Let stand until cool, about 1 hour, before removing pan. Will keep covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the sugar to the yolks and beat well.
• Now add orange juice and the orange and lemon rinds and mix throughly.
• Sift the cake meal and potato starch into the yolks and mix well.
• Add nuts if you are making a nut cake.
• Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into egg yolk mixture.
• Pour into a 2 piece greased tube pan and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees F.
• Cool cake upside down.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch angel food cake pan.
• Beat the egg yolks into a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add the sugar until completely incorporated. Beat in the orange juice, lemon zest, and orange zest. Sift the potato flour and matzo cake meal together in a bowl; gently stir into the egg yolk mixture.
• Beat the egg whites in a bowl with the salt using an electric mixer on high speed until stiff and shiny. Use a rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk 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. Gently pour the batter into the prepared angel food cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is set and lightly browned, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, invert the pan, and let cool completely before removing the cake from the pan.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with margarine. Dust pan with matzo meal; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks on medium-high speed with 1/4 cup sugar until thickened, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Wash and dry the mixer bowl and the whisk attachment.
• Place egg whites and salt in mixer bowl. Beat on medium speed with whisk attachment until soft peaks form. With machine running, slowly pour in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar; continue beating until stiff and glossy, about 3 minutes. Fold egg whites and orange zest into yolk mixture. Sift potato starch over the mixture, and fold in.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and let cool 15 minutes.
