SEVEN LAYER CAKE FOR PASSOVER
This is a style of cake that is claimed by many cultures, each with a different name depending on heritage or the state you are standing in. A few popular iterations are Dobos Torte (Hungarian), Doberge Cake (New Orleans) and Seven-Layer (which I think of as a Jewish cake from New York, but as soon as I write this, I'm sure I'll hear from folks who will correct me). My cake is a bit of a twist on the theme, because I thought the poppy seeds would be a fantastic match for the layers of orange scented sponge cake and chocolate buttercream. It is also stunning to cut into the cake and see the speckled icing. I replaced the caramel with curls of chocolate on top of the cake.

Steps:
- To make the sponge:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two baking sheets by greasing them and lining with parchment.
- Sift the matzo cake meal, potato starch and salt together, set aside. In a mixer whip the eggs and sugar, for about 8 minutes.
- The eggs should be very light in color and a thick foam. At the very end, add the vanilla and zest.
- Sift the dry ingredients over the egg foam.
- Very gently, but thoroughly, fold the dry ingredients into the egg foam.
- Pour the batter into one of the prepared pans and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the cake for about 18 minutes or until golden and dry when poked with a cake tester. Repeat with the second cake layer.
- To make the buttercream:
- In a small pot, fitted with a candy thermometer, heat 2 cups sugar, water and cream of tartar to 242 degrees F. This will take several minutes, so get your eggs started.
- Whisk together the eggs, yolks and 1/3 cup sugar. Beat the eggs on medium high speed until light in color and thick.
- Once the sugar has reached 242 degrees F, add it very carefully and slowly to the eggs, while the beater is going on slow speed. Be sure to pour the syrup along the edge of the bowl, not directly onto the beater or it will splatter. Continue beating the egg mixture on medium-high speed until the eggs have cooled, about 8 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cooled, add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time. The mixture will go through a stage when it looks soupy and curdled, but keep adding the butter and it will come together. After all the butter is added, mix in the vanilla.
- The buttercream will be smooth and glossy.
- Divide 1/3 of the buttercream into a separate bowl and add the poppy seed paste.
- To the remaining buttercream, add the melted chocolate.
- If you are not going to use the buttercream right away, cover it and leave it at room temperature for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to use it, give it a good stirring or put it back in the mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth.
- To make the soaking syrup:
- In a small saucepan heat the sugar, water and zest over medium heat until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Cut each sheet of cake into 4 equal pieces (they will be about 4 inches wide and 12 inches long).
- Lay the first layer of cake on the serving platter and brush with the soaking syrup. You want to dab the syrup on, but don't overly saturate the cake or it will be soggy.
- Spread a thin layer of the poppy seed buttercream over the soaked layer.
- Repeat with 5 more layers and then finish with the 7th layer of cake. This will leave you with one extra. Since my cake is not traditional anyway, you should feel free to use up that last layer. If you want to keep it to seven layers, then I suggest you use that lonely extra layer as a snack.
- If your layers need squaring up, just trim them with a sharp serrated bread knife.
- Stir the chocolate buttercream to make sure it is smooth and cover the entire cake in a nice even layer.
- It is okay if it isn't perfectly smooth, because we're going to add some rough stripes to the outside.
- Take a small blob of buttercream on the end of your spatula,
- and starting at the end of the cake, on the bottom, spread that blob in a stripe along the cake. Repeat over and over again, but alternate which side you start on. Repeat this on the top as well.
- You will end up with rough stripes all over the cake, which gives the cake some texture.
- Using a sharp chef's knife, scrape the smooth side of a bar of chocolate with the blade, so that the chocolate curls up. If the chocolate is very cold and brittle, try sitting it in the sun for a few minutes and the curls will come more easily. Cover the top with the chocolate shavings.
PASSOVER LEMON SPONGE CAKE
This cake is great for Passover because it uses matzah meal flour instead of regular white flour. It also includes neither butter nor leavening agents. If you cannot find potato flour or matzah meal flour, all-purpose flour will work just fine. However, it wouldn't be kosher. A good sponge cake needs a great deal of air beaten into the eggs.

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.

LEMON LAYER CAKE
Although its style varies from diner to diner, lemon layer cake is a regular item on the lunch counter. This version is full of pure lemon flavor: moist lemon cake layers filled with a tart, creamy filling, all covered with a lemon buttercream frosting. Serve with good-quality vanilla ice cream, if you like.

Steps:
- 1. To make the lemon cake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans. Dust the pans with flour and tap out the excess.
- 2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir together the dry ingredients with a whisk. Set aside.
- 3. In an electric stand mixer, using the paddle attachment or beaters, beat the butter on medium speed for about 30 seconds, or until creamy. Gradually add the sugar, increase the speed to medium-high, and continue to beat until the mixture is light, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- 4. Add the whole eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and lemon zest. Reduce the speed to low and gradually beat in he lemon juice (the batter will appear curdled at this point smooth out after you add the dry ingredients). Beat in the dry ingredients in 3 additions alternately with milk in 2 additions. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 10 seconds. Scrape the batter into the prepared pans.
- 5. Bake the cakes for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks for 20 minutes. Invert the cakes onto the rakcs and cool completely.
- 6. To make the lemon filling, in a medium nonreactive saucepan, whisk together the yolks and sugar until combined. Whisk in the lemon juice, butter, and salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the mixture turns opaque, thickens, and coats the back of the spoon. Do not let the filling boil, or it will curdle. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl. Stir in the lemon zest and allow the filling to cool.
- 7.Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until chilled.
- 8. In a clean bowl of the electric mixer, using the whisk attachment or beaters, beat the heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Remove the lemon filling from the refrigerator and whisk until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the filling. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the filling until ready to assemble the cake.
- 9. To make the lemon frosting, in the large bowl of the electric mixer, using the paddle attachment or beaters, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 30 seconds. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar on low speed. Add the cream, lemon juice, vanilla, and lemon zest. Increase the speed to medium-high, and beat for about 3 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- 10. To assemble the cake, place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Pile the lemon filling onto the center using a small offset metal spatula, and spread it into an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the cake layer. Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the lemon frosting. (If some of the filling oozes out from the middle, just blend it with the frosting around the sides of the cake.) Serve the cake immediately, or refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- Melt chocolate in a small bowl in the microwave by heating at 30 second intervals, and stirring between each one. When chocolate is almost melted, just remove from the microwave and stir until smooth. Set aside. (or just melt the chocolate by your favorite method). Adding a hazelnut flavored liquor to the chocolate will make this cake even more delicious!
- In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg yolks one at a time until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whip egg whites with a pinch of superfine sugar until stiff.
- Fold the melted chocolate into the sugar mixture, then fold in the egg whites (carefully - fold in, do not mix).
- Pour 1/4 of the bottle of wine into an 8x8 inch baking dish (you may need to add more later).
- Soak one of the matzo sheets briefly on both sides, then remove to a serving platter (if you soak too long, it will break apart and become hard to work with).
- Spread a thin layer of the chocolate cream over the soaked matzo.
- Continue soaking and layering the matzos and chocolate cream, leaving enough of the chocolate mixture to frost the sides when finished.
- Press chopped nuts onto the sides, or sprinkle them on top for garnish.
- Refrigerate overnight to allow the chocolate and wine to blend flavors.
