I made 6 different cake recipes trying to find one that was really good. This one doesn't taste pesachdi'k, it's fantastic. It flew off the table in one sitting.

Blondies
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup oil
• 3 teaspoons vanilla sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup potato starch
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup ground walnuts
Mix everything in one bowl. Bake in a greased 9x13 pan on 350 for 40 minutes, should be a bit underdone.

What is the texture like? I see you call it a blondie but it has quite a bit of baking powder which would suggest a cakier result?

We make the exact recipe without the nuts. I found it on imamother years ago and we've been making it ever since. Those of you with nut allergies(like us), please try it! Its not cakie but its not like chometzdik blondies either. its really delicious!

It's more on the cakey side but not like a sponge cake.

Thx! I may indeed try it then. I prefer cakey over gooey....

Tried this today...it is nice, but kind of nothing-y. Like the cake is barely there! Guess it's the potato-starch-pesach-cake-taste, I'm not used to it.

IIRC it tastes much better the next day, and even better the day after. The texture kind of solidifies the longer you leave it.

thanks for bumping this up! Last year I saw this thread and tried this recipe. It was a huge hit in my house! We made it repeatedly throughout the year until I ran out of leftover Pesachdig ground nuts! We liked it best with ground walnuts.
Try it again, maybe you did something wrong? even I , who hate pesach cakes, liked this one!

I actually made it without the nuts. Maybe I'll try again with the nuts- and it was nice, just a bit chewy and meringu-ish, rather than cakey. I'll give it another go!

I baked it today and it was really yummy but in my oven took more than 40 minutes.
Thank you lovemytwins for the recipe!!!

My pleasure. I actually clicked on this thread without remembering I started it last year. Very Happy

This is first on my list of things to bake tomorrow.

I don't think this cake can be made without the ground nuts, that's what gives it such a great taste. That's probably why with just potato starch it came out gooey. Not sure about not using baking powder.

Can you sub baking soda for the baking powder? To tell you the truth I didn't even know that KLP baking powder exists. Smile

You can activate the baking soda by combining 1 part lemon juice or pesach vinegar with 2 parts baking soda and then adding the batter.
Be careful not to use too much baking soda as it can make the batter taste salty or off. So. Even if this recipe calls for 3 teaspoons baking powder I'd start with just 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice.
