one that doesn't fall .. I have an amazing chocolate cake recipe and chocolate chip squares recipe ... but my dh doesn't like chocolate. All other recipes seem to fall. Do you have a pesach cake recipe, preferably a nut cake that always comes out good??

This one is foolproof:

Hazelnut Torte

8 eggs, separated
1¼ cups sugar
1 tsp. orange extract
5½ cups finely ground filberts
3 tbsp. strained, warmed apricot jam
whole filberts to garnish

Glaze:
6 oz. semi sweet chocolate
¼ cup water

Preheat oven to 350. Beat yolks with sugar. Add orange extract.
Beat whites until stiff.
Fold nuts and whites into yolk mixture, alternating in 3 steps. Pour batter into greased 9½” springform pan.
Bake 50-55 minutes until tester comes out clean. Let cake rest 5 minutes, then unmold onto cake rack. When cake has cooled, brush top with jam.
For glaze, combine chocolate and water in top of double boiler. Melt over hot water, stirring until smooth. When jam is set, pour hot glaze over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with whole filberts. Let stand until glaze is set.

Thanks for posting!

I love recipes that are fluffy because the eggs are separated but easy because you mix everything in one bowl, no folding.

Is 14 oz of sugar, almost 2 cups?

Yes, it's 1-3/4 cups sugar. I find it easier to work with ozs. than fractions of cups Smile

thank you!!

ootbubby, that sounds delicious and beautiful to serve! I don't have orange extract, can I use orange juice?

downsyndrome, I love how easy this recipe is! The eggs really don't separate and sink to the bottom of the cake?? I am going to try this!

I"ve been making this for yrs. Its always a hit! I use the recipe from the balabustas choice. It has 12 eggs instead of 10, and 3 T. coffee diluted, instead of the cocoa.

yes! you spoke very well and it was very interesting. I was especially interested since years ago I bought a number of your magazines as they came out starting with the first issue. So it was nice to hear your voice as I felt that I "knew" who you were through your writing.

When you first published your magazine, (I think it was close to 20 yrs ago?) I was an older single girl searching for reading material. I was drawn to the magazine as it was packed with articles and information. Remember, there was so little to read back then so even though downs syndrome was not an issue I was dealing with, it was informative and well written so I read it! And kept buying them as they were published. I think I noticed a new magazine on the shelves when I was pregnant (finally) with my first but felt too nervous to read about down syndrome at that time (especially since I was considered older).

The interesting thing is that even though I stopped purchasing the publication (are you still publishing?) I received a phone call from a friend about 11 yrs ago. She said that her relative just gave birth to a downs baby and the family was in shock/ having a hard time.... then she remembered that a good 10 years earlier I lent her your magazine and told her to read it. Well, she never returned it so she dug it out of storage and shared it with all of her family members!

And now your mother's nut cake is sitting in my freezer ...how's that for a small world? Smile

Gevaldig! The incredible shrinking world and what goes around comes around and what other cliches can I quickly think of.... Very Happy
I still publish Down Syndrome Amongst Us. In fact, it has become a semi-annual publication and it appears in the AMI magazine reading packet - once in the winter and once in the summer. Incidentally, I wrote a story, which is published in the AMI Pesach Story Collections.
