Ingredients Overview

*The full recipe is in the recipe card below!

Cake meal– the key ingredient: Cake meal is finely ground matzo that has been processed into a flour-like consistency. This means that a cake meal has a finer texture than a matzo meal, making it suitable for use in cakes, cookies, and other delicate desserts.

Baking powder: Helps the cake rise and become lighter. There is a Kosher for Passover baking powder.

Chocolate chips: Chocolate chips come in a variety of flavors. Use non-dairy if you want a Pareve cake.

The Cake has a unique and different texture from other cakes due to the denser and heavier texture of the matzo meal.

FAQs

How to store Passover cake? 

Allow the cake to cool completely. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or place the cake in an airtight container. Store the cake at room temperature for up to five days.

Can I freeze the cake?

You can freeze the cake either whole or in slices. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container. If you freeze the cake in slices, separate the slices with parchment paper and store them in an airtight container or a freezer-safe bag. The cake can be frozen for up to three months. When you are ready to serve the cake, you can thaw it at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a few hours.

  1. This was delicious 😋 and so easy to make. Turned out very light and fluffy. But I do have a question about the baking time. I followed the recipe exactly and baked first for 45 min. Then had to keep adding more time. In the end it baked for an additional 25-30 min. And the bottom was still a bit wet. We have a brand new stove and I know the oven is at the correct temperature. Do you have any idea why it needed so much more time?5 stars

      1. Exactly the same size as you put in the recipe. There’s some speculation that it might have something to do with the oil. Perhaps I didn’t understand the part about the parchment paper and then oil it. Anyways I’m going to make one more cake this week with the matzo meal then again next but with regular flour. Thx!
