    Hi and thanks! Tried this and added one tsp baking soda and one teaspoon baking powder to the mixture and it came out heavenly! My family kept asking me, you sure this is not chometzdig?

    We loved this Pesach was huge hit!!
    Wondering how to adapt it to chumitz. How much flour to potato starch?

    I found that this amount of sugar was excessive, cutting down to 1 1/3 was perfect for us.

    I believe this is originally from the Nitra book. I’ve been making this recipe (passed down from my mom) for almost 20 years. Hers is the same thing doubled (8 eggs) which yields a higher cake but calls for a mixer. Was thrilled that I can skip the mixer and do it straight in the pan. Making it again for 2nd days since it was gone before first days were over…

    Can you freeze this and serve it later? It sounds great!

      Yes! All cakes and cookies can be frozen ahead of time.

    Can this be made without eggs?

    How does adding ground nuts change the texture? I’m assuming it’s not a typo and it’s actually GROUND, not chopped nuts that are optional. I’m confused since ground nuts are often a substitute for flour, so I’m not sure how it can be optional.

    just wanted to come back and post that I was in the hospital 2 times this yom tov on friday till late and on erev second days and since it was unexpected i had to give my teenage boys instructions or we would have ‘peanut butter and jelly for shabbos” they whisked 3 of these up for me by hand without calling me even once! It was so easy and I came into shabbos/yom tov with fresh smelling hot brownies and a pretty clean ktichen! Thanks

    Add chocolate chips!!!!! And 1 tsp coffee dissolved if u like a mocha flavor for a diff variation. U can also make into rum balls by baking for 5 min less and crumbling while warm so the added chocolate chips act act a binder. Then roll or coat with any topping.
