How to Make Passover Apple Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 or 9-inch glass baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and ½ cup vegetable oil until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Gradually add 2 cups Passover cake meal (matzah cake meal), mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg. This is your topping mixture.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Sprinkle half of the topping mixture evenly over the batter.
  7. Peel and thinly slice 4 medium apples (about 3 cups). Arrange half of the apple slices over the batter.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the apples and top with the remaining apple slices.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining topping mixture evenly over the apples.
  10. Bake for 95 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The sides of the cake should also pull away slightly from the pan.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Once cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
