Any ideas? Most recipes I see require baking powder which I don't use on Pesach. Anyone know if it's essential? Or another recipe without it?

Maybe try a chocolate sponge cake?
I've tried making gebrokts sponge cakes with potato starch and/or ground nuts instead of cake meal and they didn't come out. At worst, the egg yolks separated out and sank to the bottom of the pan during baking; at best, the cake was just pretty dense (which also made it very sweet).
I'll be following this thread in case someone else out there has a recipe that works!

Versatile Sponge Cake
From: The Complete Passover Cookbook
9 eggs
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 c. potato starch
juice of 1 orange
juice of 1 lemon
Using 2 large mixing bowls, separate 7 of the 9 eggs. Add the remaining 2 whole eggs to the bowl with the yolks and beat until foamy. Gradually add half of the sugar; beat until light and lemon-colored. Add the potato starch alternately with the juices. With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the rest of the sugar until stiff. Carefully fold the yolk mixture into the stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Invert and cool for at least 1 hour. Serves 10 or more.
Variations:
Banana-Nut Cake: Omit the orange juice. Increase the lemon juice to the juice of 2 lemons. Add 2 ripe bananas, mashed, along with 1/2 cup chopped nuts.
Chocolate Cake: Substitute 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa for 3 tablespoons of the potato starch. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts if desired.
Wine Cake: Substitute 1/2 cup sweet wine for the juices. Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts.

I hate to use 9 eggs, but I think I'm going to try this.
Thank you!!
