Fluffy Walnut Cake
3/4 cup | 177ml | Matzo meal |
3/4 cup | 177ml | Potato starch |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Salt |
6 | Egg yolks | |
1 3/4 cups | 346g / 12oz | Sugar |
1 cup | 237ml | Orange juice |
1 1/2 cups | 355ml | Ground walnuts |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Grated lemon rind |
6 | Egg whites - stiffly beaten |
Mix the matzo meal, potato starch and salt together.
Beat the egg yolks until thick; gradually add the sugar, beating until lemon colored. Add the matzo-meal mixture alternately with the orange juice. Fold in the walnuts and lemon rind, and then the egg whites. Turn into a 9-inch tube pan.
