Apple Cake for Passover

This cake is made with potato starch and matzo cake meal instead of flour, so it’s kosher for Passover. You should be able to find the finely ground matzo cake meal at the grocery store. If not, measure an extra 2 tablespoons of matzo meal for every cup and pulse it in a food processor until it resembles all-purpose flour.

INGREDIENTS

2-1/4 cups matzo cake meal, divided
4 large apples, peeled and sliced
2-1/4 cups sugar, divided
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
6 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon potato starch
Whipped cream, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

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. In another large bowl, beat eggs until slightly thickened. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in oil and water. Combine potato starch and remaining matzo meal; add to egg mixture and mix well.
Pour half of batter into prepared pan. Top with apples and remaining batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. If desired, top with whipped cream.
