PASSOVER LEMON BARS

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8- x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil. Grease the parchment or foil. Heat butter until hot. Add sugar, vanilla, salt, almonds, cake meal, and lemon zest. Stir just to combine. Transfer crust to lined pan and press into the pan. Bake at 350°F until lightly browned, about 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside. For the filling: Decrease oven to 300°F. Whisk together sugar, starch, eggs, zest, juice, salt, and vanilla until well combined. Gently pour filling into baked crust. Bake the bars for 20 to 25 minutes until the center is no longer jiggly. Cool completely before garnishing with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk together the matzo flour, baking soda, baking powder (see Note), and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, white sugar, margarine, vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of lemon extract, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and food coloring with an electric mixer set on medium speed until smooth; pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir until combined into a smooth batter, and pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until set and lightly browned, about 45 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf will come out clean. Cool completely, then remove from the pan.
• Place 1 cup of confectioners' sugar in a bowl. In a separate small bowl, mix the non-dairy creamer with water, and stir in 1 tablespoon of confectioners' sugar. Stir the creamer mixture into the confectioners' sugar by teaspoons until the mixture forms an even, workable glaze. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract. Spread the glaze over the cooled lemon loaf. Allow to set, and serve in 1-inch slices.

EASY PASSOVER CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 7-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
• In a mixing bowl, cream the margarine or butter with the sugars until light and fluffy. Separate the eggs and beat in the yolks only. Sift in the cake meal, potato flour, and baking powder, and fold in carefully. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Add a spoonful of the egg white to the cake batter and mix in thoroughly. Now fold in the rest of the eggs whites, taking care not to knock out any air. Spoon the mixture into your prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes until risen and golden.
• After the cake has cooled, slice in half horizontally and spread the bottom half with jam. Replace the top half and sprinkle superfine sugar over the top.
