Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 2 cups Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 cups Matzo meal
- 0.5 cups Potato starch
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.75 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Orange juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/2 cup of sugar, and the ground cinnamon. Toss well to coat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the matzo meal, potato starch, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the remaining sugar (1 1/2 cups) until light and frothy.
Slowly add the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and orange juice to the eggs mixture, stirring to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Layer half of the apple mixture over the batter.
Pour the remaining batter on top of the apples, spreading gently to ensure even coverage.
Top with the remaining apples, arranging them evenly over the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
