It’s one bowl, no mixer, easy, foolproof Pesach cake!
Editor’s Note: We’re very excited for the release of Miriam (Pascal) Cohen’s Real Life Pesach Cooking: Pesach Prep–and Pesach Food–for the Way You Live. Miriam’s recipes are always practical and many of them are soon to be iconic Pesach must-haves (that’s including this cake below!).
Throughout the book, Miriam uses basic ingredients so there’s no need to stock your house with lots of random ingredients that you might use only once. Plus–your food will feel fresh and wholesome.
We’ll be sharing two recipes from Miriam and the first is this Ultimate Pesach Vanilla Cake. You know Miriam is a bundt cake expert ever since her debut cookbook Something Sweet. Now, let’s hear from Miriam on how this cake came about…
“Sometimes, in order to consider something the “ultimate,” I test it over and over and over again, tweaking each time, to get it just right. That was not the case with this recipe! I made it once, and it was great. I quickly shared the recipe with my sisters, and they all loved it as well. I asked each of them, “Any critique? Any changes I should make?” But they all insisted it was perfect. So I left it. Here it is — in all its original version’s no-mixer, one-bowl glory.
Ultimate Pesach Vanilla Cake
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1½ cups sugar
- ½ cup oil
- 1 (3.25-oz) package vanilla pudding mix
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup potato starch
Vanilla Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp almond milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a Bundt pan, a 9×13-inch pan, or two 2-lb loaf pans well; set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, oil, pudding mix, baking powder, vanilla, and salt until combined and creamy.
- Gradually add almond flour and potato starch; stir until a batter forms.
- Pour batter into prepared pan(s). Bake about 45 minutes for a Bundt pan, 50-55 minutes for a 9×13-inch pan, and 40-45 minutes for loaf pans, until the tops feel firm.
- Prepare glaze: stir all glaze ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
