Preparation method
Prep: 30 mins | Cook: 1 hour 10 mins1.
Preheat oven to 160 C / Gas mark 3. Cut baking parchment to line the bottom of a 25.5cm bundt cake tin. Do not grease.
2.
In a medium bowl, whip egg yolks until light. Gradually add 225g of caster sugar and the orange zest; continue whipping until thick and pale, about 7 minutes. Sift together the matzo meal and potato flour; set aside.
3.
In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks.
4.
Fold the matzo meal into the yolk mixture alternately with the juice.
5.
Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Spread evenly into the prepared cake tin.
6.
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cake springs back to the touch. Run a knife around the sides of the cake and turn out onto a wire rack to cool.

This came out ok. It tasted good, but did not look great. If you are not going to use baking parchment, make sure you lightly grease the tin.

I used this recipe the last 2 years and I am back to make it again. It is perfect. Just like my gran used to make. I also cut it up to use in other recipes for layers and bottoms, such as trifles and cheesecake.

Great recipe! I do suggest greasing the tin. The sponge cake stuck to everything (including the parchment)
