Passover
Sponge Cake
While
this sponge cake could be served for dessert with fresh fruit
and whipped cream accompanying it, I prefer to think of it
as an ideal Passover breakfast or brunch recipe. It's not overly
sweet, and is just light enough in texture that it's perfect
to have in the morning with some coffee or tea, although serving
fresh fruit along with it is nice at any time of day. If you
are watching your cholesterol, this may not be the cake for
you because it does use a lot of eggs. But what Passover food
doesn't? I always feels like I eat more eggs at Passover time
than any other time of year! And this sponge cake is really
yummy, no caveat like "for Passover food" needed. For me, Passover
wouldn't be Passover without it. It keeps pretty well if you
wrap it in foil. When I was in college, my mom would make this
cake for me and I'd have breakfast and snacks for a week. One
time, it was even slightly undercooked and it was still good,
because the top was gooey and I didn't care, but you can use
a cake tester inserted in the center to be sure about doneness
before you remove the cake from the oven.
