FRIENDSHIP FRUITCAKE
====================
(Servings: 20)

Ingredients:
------------
1 ea 2-Layer box yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix (18.5-28oz size)
1/3 C    Vegetable oil
4        Eggs
1 3/4 C  Fruit from starter (See note)
1 C      Chopped pecans
         Confectioners sugar (if desired)
         Cream cheese frosting (if desired) from your favorite recipe

Instructions:
-------------
Line the bottom of a springform angel food cake pan with waxed paper,
grease well, then flour.

In large mixing bowl of electric mixer, combine dry cake mix and oil.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well.  Add fruit; mix well.  Fold
in nuts.  Pour batter into prepared pan.  Bake in a pre-heated 350-
degree oven 40 minutes, then reduce heat to 300 degrees and bake 35 to
40 minutes more, or until cake tests done.

Shake pan to loosen cake from sides and let sit 10 minutes.  Lift the
center of the pan out and turn cake onto cake plate.  Remove waxed
paper.  Turn cake right-side up before serving.  Sprinkle with
confectioners sugar if desired, or top with cream cheese frosting.  This
cake tastes better when cold.

Note:  You will use from 1 1/2 to 2 cups drained fruit per cake.

Starter For Friendship Fruitcake:
---------------------------------
3/4 C    canned sliced peaches with syrup
3/4 C    canned pineapple chunks with syrup
4 oz     Red maraschino cherries, drained, halved
1 1/2 C  Granulated sugar
1 ea     Active dry yeast package

For Later Addition:
-------------------
1/2 C    canned sliced peaches with syrup
1/2 C    canned pineapple chunks with syrup

To Replenish Starter:
---------------------

Day 1:
------
1 1/2 C   Starter juice
2 1/2 C   Granulated sugar
2 lb Can  sliced peaches with syrup

Day 10:
-------
2 1/2 C   Granulated sugar
2 lb Can  pineapple chunks with juice or 1 1-lb can pineapple chunks
and 1 1-lb can fruit cocktail

Day 20:
-------
2 1/2 C  Granulated sugar
2 ea     (4-oz) jars maraschino cherries, drained and halved (You can use
         1 jar of red and one jar of green for color, or use 1 10-oz jar).

Instructions:
-------------
In a 1-gallon glass jar with wide mouth and lid, combine the peaches,
pineapple, maraschino cherries, sugar and yeast (make sure the yeast is
well mixed with syrup).  Stir two times the first day.  Stir once a day
afterwards.  Do not refrigerate this mixture.  Keep loosely covered.

Two weeks after starting the starter, add 1/2 cup peaches and 1/2 cup
pineapple with syrup.

Wait several days, stirring daily, then drain 2 cups of mixed fruit and
use to make cake as directed in the cake recipe (see recipe above).
Reserve 1 1/2 cups starter juice and leave in glass gallon jar.  Count
this as Day One, and begin the process for renewing starter and making
cake.

Day 1: To reserved 1 1/2 cups starter juice (or to starter juice given
you by a friend), add 2 1/2 cups sugar and a 2-lb can of peaches with
syrup.  Stir daily.  Keep loosely covered.  Do not refrigerate.

Day 10: Add 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar and pineapple chunks with juice.
Stir daily.  Keep loosely covered.  Do not refrigerate.

Day 20: Add 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar and drained and halved
maraschino cherries.  Stir daily.  Keep loosely covered.  Do not
refrigerate.

Day 30: Drain fruit, reserving 1 1/2 cups juice for renewing starter.
Use drained fruit to make 3 cakes (see recipe), give excess starter
juice to friends, and start a new batch of fruit (repeat aforementioned
process).

Note:
-----
At the end of 30 days, you will have enough excess starter juice to give
to about four friends.  Be sure to keep enough juice (1 1/2 cups) for
your own starter.  At the end of 30 days, there will be enough fruit to
use 1 3/4 cups fruit in each cake, which makes the cake better and
doesn't waste the fruit.  The cakes can be frozen.  It is not necessary
to bake all three cakes the same day, but stir the remaining fruit
mixture every day until it is used (this fruit mixture can be
refrigerated until used).  The drained fruit can be frozen until you are
ready to bake the cakes.

FRUIT UPSIDE DOWN CAKE
======================

4 tblsp     (60 ml) butter
1/2         (125 ml) cup light brown sugar
1/4         (1 ml) tsp grated nutmeg
2 cups      (1/2 liter) peaches, sliced thin
1 tsp       (5 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 1/3 cups  (325 ml) cake flour
3/4 cup     (175 ml) sugar
1 3/4 tsp   (9 ml) baking powder
1/4 tsp     (1 ml) salt
3 tblsp     (45 ml) butter
1/2 cup     (125 ml) milk
1 tsp       (5 ml) vanilla extract
1           egg

Instructions:
-------------
Melt the butter in an 8-inch (20 cm) square pan.  Add the brown sugar
and nutmeg and blend well.  Remove the pan from the heat and arrange the
peach slices, slightly overlapping them, on the brown-sugar mixture. 
Sprinkle the peach slices with lemon juice. 

Sift the flour with the sugar, baking powder and salt.  Stir the butter
to soften it, then stir in the flour mixture, milk and vanilla extract. 
Mix until the flour is dampened. 

Beat the batter for two minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed
or beat 300 strokes by hand.  Add the egg, and beat for one minute
longer with the mixer or 150 strokes by hand.  Pour the batter over the
peaches. 

Bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 35 minutes.  Cool the cake in
the pan for five minutes and then invert it onto a serving plate; let
stand for one minute more before removing the pan.  Serve warm.  (Note:
in my experience, this cake does not keep very well.)

-------------
Preheat oven to 350F.  Butter and flour 3 9" round cake pans.  Line the
bottoms of the pans w/ buttered parchment or waxed paper, or foil (shiny
side up).  Melt chocolate in boiling water (I did this in the
microwave).  Let cool.  In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until
fluffy.  Add yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. 
Blend in vanilla and chocolate.  Mix flour with soda and salt, then add
alternately with buttermilk to chocolate mixture, beating well after
each addition until smooth.  In a separate bowl beat egg whites until

Frost only the tops of the layers with this frosting.  Put on enough so
that a little squishes out the sides.  I decorated the top with some
whole pecan halves.

HAZELNUT-CHOCOLATE VIENNESE TORTE
=================================
(Makes about 12 servings)

Ingredients:
------------
Potato starch (or sugar) for the pan
6           large eggs, 5 of them separated
Pinch       of salt
2 tsp       lemon juice, preferably fresh
3/4 cup     sugar, divided
2 tsp       freshly grated lemon rind (yellow part only)
3 oz.       very finely grated semisweet (or "dark") bar chocolate
2 1/2 cups  very finely ground unblanched hazelnuts (about 8 oz.)
1/4 cup     sweet Passover wine, sherry, or flavored brandy
~ 1/2 cup   apricot (or other) jam or preserves
1/3 cup     water
3 Tblsp     vegetable oil
1 cup       sugar
1/2 cup     unsweetened cocoa powder
~ 1 cup     ground hazelnuts, for the sides of the torte
12          whole hazelnuts
1 ounce     semisweet (or "dark" bar chocolate (for chocolate curls)

Instructions:
-------------
Grease a 9-inch springform pan well, and coat it with potato starch (or
sugar), tapping out any excess.  If desired line the bottom of the pan
with wax paper to make removal of the cake easier.  Set aside. 

For the batter, in a large mixing bowl, beat the 5 egg whites with the
salt and lemon juice until foamy.  Then very gradually add 1/4 cup of
the sugar, and continue beating the whites until they form stiff, but
not dry, peaks. 

Use the same beaters and another bowl to beat the 5 egg yolks and the
additional whole egg with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the lemon rind
until they are very light and fluffy.  Gently, but thoroughly, fold the
beaten whites into the beaten yolk mixture.  Then fold in the grated
chocolate and ground hazelnuts.  Pour the batter into the prepared pan. 

Bake the torte in a preheated 325-degree oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or
until the top springs back when gently pressed with a fingertip.  Leave
the torte in the oven, turn off the heat, and open the oven door
slightly.  After 10 minutes, remove the torte from the oven.  Run a
knife around the edge of the torte to release it from the pan rim; then
cool the torte for 30 minutes longer in the pan.  Remove the pan rim,
and COOL THE TORTE COMPLETELY ON THE PAN BOTTOM.  (The center of the
torte will settle slightly.)

Cover a 9- or 10-inch cardboard circle with a heavy duty aluminum foil
or freezer paper, for a base (or use a cake platter).  Invert the torte
onto the prepared base and remove the bottom of the pan (and the wax
paper, if used).  Sprinkly the wine evenly over the torte.  Heat the jam
(in a small saucepan on the stove, or in a small heatproof bowl in the
microwave oven) until it is thinned; then brush or spread the jam all
over the torte.  (This not only adds flavor, but also evens out the
surface of the cake so the chocolate glaze will be perfectly smooth.)

For the chocolate glaze, combine the water, oil, sugar, and cocoa in a
small saucepan and mix very well.  Cook the mixture over LOW HEAT,
stirring constantly for 10 to 14 minutes, or until the glaze thickens
slightly and is very smooth and shiny.  For the best flavor and texture,
it should not boil.  Remove the glaze from the heat and stir it for 3 to
4 minutes longer, or until it cools slightly and gets a bit thicker. 
Pour all the glaze in the center of the torte, and immediately use a
metal or rubber spatula to evenly spread it all over the top and sides. 
Wipe up any drips from the cardboard base or serving platter. 

Let the torte rest a few minutes until the glaze begins to set, but is
still soft.  Press handfuls of ground hazelnuts all over the sides of
the torte, but NOT the top.  Arrange the whole hazelnuts, evenly spaced,
in a circle on top of the torte, about 1 inch in from the edge.  Heap
some chocolate curls (or coarsely grated bar chocolate) in the center of
the torte (where it may have settled a bit).  Refrigerate the uncovered,
completed torte for several hours or, preferably, overnight so that the
glaze can set, and the flavors and textures can "mellow."

For the best flavor and texture, remove the torte from the refrigerator
a few hours before serving.

JAVA POUND CAKE
===============

Source: The Coffee Book by Christie and Thomas Katona

Ingredients:
------------
1 cup       butter
1 1/4 cups  sugar
4           eggs
1/2 cup     brewed coffee *
2 1/4 cups  flour
1 tsp       baking powder
1/2 tsp     salt
2 tsp       vanilla *
1/2 tsp     mace *

Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Using an electric mixer, cream butter
and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs, beating well after each
addition.  Add coffee and vanilla.  Sift dry ingredients together and
add to creamed mixture.  Pour into a well greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan
which has been lined with parchment paper on the bottom.  Bake for 1
hour and 25 minutes or until cake tests done.  Cool in pan for 15
minutes and then turn out on a rack to cool completely. 

Now for my changes:  
-------------------
I used a gourmet flavored coffee to make the brewed coffee with.  The
flavor that I used was buttered rum.  In place of the vanilla (I thought
it would clash with the rum coffee) I used Myer's Original Spiced Rum. 
Also, since I didn't have any mace on hand, I used nutmeg instead.  All
in all, it turned out well.

KENTUCKY BOURBON CAKE
=====================

Ingredients:
------------
3/4 lb       butter
2 cups       white sugar
2 1/4 cups   light brown sugar, firmly packed
6            eggs
5 1/2 cups   all purpose flour
1/4 tsp      salt
1 tsp        mace
2 cups       bourbon whiskey
3 1/2 cups   (1 lb) pecan nuts chopped

Instructions:
-------------
Cream butter and approx.  half of the sugar, in another bowl, beat the
eggs with the remaining sugars until light and fluffy (several minutes
at least).  Combine the butter and egg mixtures.  Sift the dry
ingredients and add them along with the whiskey a little at a time to
the egg/butter mixture.  Finally stir pecans into the batter.  Bake in a
slow oven in a large (10 inch) tube type pan for appox 2 to 2 1/2 hours,
until a knife inserted into the cake comes out clean. 

The recipe now says to wrap the cool cake in Al foil and keep in the
fridge for a week or two to let the flavors "meld", however everyone
around my house usually consumes it in the following few days.  This
cake when baked still contains a substantial amount of whiskey!  Its
rather surprizing.  I assume the vapors get trapped in the cake or
whatever.  It tastes great (really great) with a blob of sweetened
whipped cream (with vanilla of course). 

BTW: this makes a heck of a large cake.  I have made little cakes in
those minature loaf pans to give as Xmas gifts and it worked great,

KEY LIME CHEESECAKE PIE
======================= 

Ingredients:
------------

Crust:
------
1/2     of 15-ounce package all ready pie crusts
1 tsp   flour

Filling:
--------
1 envelope  Unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup     lime juice
1 cup       sugar
2           eggs, beaten
2 pkg       (3 ounces each) cream cheese softened
1/4 cup     (1/2 Stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup       whipping cream
1 1/2 tsp   grated lime peel
Whipping cream, whipped, sweetened
Lime slices

Instructions:
-------------
Prepare pie crust with flour according to package directions for
unfilled one-crust pie using 9-inch pie pan (See Note).  Generously
prick crust with fork.  Bake in preheated 450-degree oven 9 to 11
minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool. 

To make filling, in small saucepan, soften gelatin in lime juice 5
minutes.  Blend in sugar and eggs.  Over medium heat, bring mixture to a
boil.  Reduce heat.  Boil gently 3 minutes, stirring constantly. 

In small bowl, combine cream cheese and butter; beat well.  Pour in hot
lime juice mixture; beat until smooth and well blended.  Refrigerate
until cool, about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

In medium bowl, beat 1 cup whipping cream until stiff peaks form.  Fold
in cooled lime juice mixture and lime peel.  Spoon into cooled pie
crust.  Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.  Garnish with whipped
cream and lime slices.  Store in refrigerator. 

Note: 
-----
To form starburst design, trim dough even with edge of pan.  Cut dough
at about 1/2-inch intervals all around edges, making each cut 1/2 inch
long.  Fold each square in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing
lightly into dough to seal.

Instructions:
-------------
Heat oven to 500 degrees.  Prepare springform pan.  With and electric
beater, mix the cheese, sugar, flour, orange and lemon zests and vanilla
until smooth.  Add the eggs and yokes, beating in one at a time, and
finally the cream. 

Pour the mixture into the prepared springform pan and bake for 10
minutes or until the top of the cake turns golden brown.  Reduce oven
temperature to 200-225 and bake for one hour longer.

KRUMKAKE
========

Ingredients:
------------
2           eggs
2/3 cup     sugar
1/2 cup     butter, melted
1 tsp       vanilla
1 1/2 cups  all purpose flour

Instructions:
-------------
Beat the eggs and sugar together until they turn pale yellow.  While
continuing to beat, slowly add the melted butter.  Add and blend in the
vanilla.  Finally, stir in gently the flour, being careful not to
over-mix. 

Heat the krumkake iron over medium heat. 

Place one tablesoon of the mixture in the middle of the iron and close
lid, gently pressing until the batter spreads evenly to the sides. 

Cook about 2 minutes on each side until very lightly browned. 

Remove from iron and immediately roll around a cone form or the handle
of a wooden spoon.  It will harden to shape very quickly. 

To serve, fill with whipped cream. 

You may need to experiment with the consistency of the batter, the
amount used and the cooking times to get it to work right.  This is one
of those recipes that seems to require a goodly amount of "expert
knowledge" from doing it.  Also, for the first few cookies of each batch
you may want to rub the surface of the iron with a lightly buttered
sheet of paper towel.  After the first few, it is no longer necessary. 

Cone forms are sold which are specially designed for rolling krumkake,
or you can use a cone used for making cream horns, or fashion one out of
a solid chunk of aluminum foil as I did.  The 'real' ones are wood and
have a knob handle on the base to make them easy to use.  They also have
a depth sufficient to roll the 6-7 inch circle around.

2       (8 oz) pkgs of cream cheese
1 cup   of sugar
2       eggs
1 tsp   vanilla
12      vanilla wafers
Blueberry pie filling (personally  I think any flavor would be fine)
Muffin Tins

Instructions:
-------------
Beat cream cheese medium speed until fluffy.  Add sugar.  Then add eggs
one at a time (make sure first is blended then drop in next one) make
sure it is well blended.  Stir in vanilla (I just kept the beater on for
the whole thing).

mixture over wafers.  Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.  Leave in
muffin pan.  Chill overnight.  Then to serve drop about a tablespoon of
pie filling on each.  Enjoy!!!!!

LOW FAT CARROT CAKE 
===================

1 1/3 C  unbleached all-purpose flour
1 C      whole wheat flour
2 t      baking powder
2 t      cinnamon
1 t      baking soda
1/4 t    nutmeg
2 C      grated carrots
1 C      unsweetened applesauce
3/4 C    packed brown sugar
1/3 C    vegetable oil
1 t      pure vanilla extract (I used artificial)
3        eggs
1/2 C    raisins (optional)
1/2 C    walnut pieces (optional)

Instructions:
-------------
In a mixing bowl, combine both flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking
soda, nutmeg, raisins, and walnuts.  Whisk together the carrots,
applesauce, sugar, oil, and eggs; gently stir into flour mixture. 
Transfer to an oiled 9inch springform pan.  Bake at 350F for 60-65 min
or until cake tester comes out clean. 

Hint: if you like pineapple in your carrot cake, replace half of the
apple sauce with crushed or chunk unsweetened pineapple. 

Frosting:
---------   
Take 125 gms of cream cheese and mix icing sugar (powdered sugar) into
it.  Keep adding icing sugar and mixing it in until it has a nice thick
but still spreadable consistency.  I'd suggest starting with 1 cup of
icing sugar and working my way up.  Frost the cake after it has cooled. 
Refrigerate. 

Additional notes by Eric:
-------------------------
- I found that three medium sized apples yield about 1C of apple sauce. 

- about 125 grams of cream cheese was ample to make the frosting (and
increase the fat content).  They suggest trying riccota or quark cheese
for lower fat.

MATZO BALLS
===========

1) Cream 2 Tablespoons of chicken fat [You can often get almost this
amount if you chill canned chicken soup before use].

2) Beat 2 eggs well.  Beat into creamed chicken fat.

3) Mix together

1/4+ cup  of matzo meal
1/2 tsp   salt
grating   of nutmeg
1/2 tsp   parsley
pepper to taste
onion powder to taste [sorry fresh just doesn't work here]

4) Stir into egg/chicken fat just until mixed and is a soft dough.  You
may have to add some matzo meal if it is too loose.

5) Chill in refrigerator for at least several hours [or at least 30
minutes].  [Can be chilled for 24 hours]

6) Taste for flavor and adjust if necessary and/or add matzo meal.  Stir
as little as possible.

7) Dip up with teaspoon and push off with your fingers into boiling
chicken soup.  Do NOT shape unless you like your matzo balls heavy like
cannon balls.

8) Boil in soup with lid on pot for 20 minutes.

At our house, we take a little soup with our matzo balls.  You will find
that the soup leaches the flavor out of the matzo balls so that the soup
is very tasty.  Also remember when tasting your soup for flavor that it
will boil down and concentrate.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
From: jjmorris@gandalf.rutgers.edu (Joyce Morris)

MATZO KUGEL
===========

1) Crumble boards of matzo into a bowl.

2) Add just enough orange juice to dampen.  [The original recipe calls
for water to soak and then wring the water out]

3) Grate rind of orange.

4) Beat egg.  Add sugar, orange rind, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and
nutmeg.

5) Grate an apple or two [depends on size].

6) Add grated apple and egg mixture to matzo which should now be soft.
Also add almonds.  Mix well.

7) Spread into well greased casserole dish.

8) Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on top.

9) Dot with butter.

10) Bake until knife inserted in center comes out clean and top is
browned.  [30-50 minutes at 350 ??]

This can be eaten as a main course with salad or as a side dish.  It is
also great the next day cold although the top will no longer be crispy.

My memory seems to say that the original recipe called for 3 boards of
matzo, 4 apples, 2 eggs and lots of sugar.  Since I am not feeding a
family of 6 like my mom, I cut it back.  Then since I lost the recipe
and Mom is a long-distance call I found that it is hard to mess this up
when you do it by feel.

NEARLY FAT FREE MICROWAVE CHOCOLATE CAKE
========================================

Ingredients:
------------
1/4 cup            Hershey's cocoa (I use an alkalized cocoa, it's better)
2/3 cup            hot water, divided
3/4 cup + 2 tblsp  all-purpose flour
1 cup              sugar
1/2 tsp            baking soda
1/4 tsp            baking powder
1/4 tsp            salt (optional)
1/4 cup + 2 tblsp  sugar-free applesauce (you could try prune
                   butter - I've heard this works too)
2                  egg whites, slightly beaten with fork
2 tsp              vanilla extract

Instructions:
-------------
Spray round micro-proof baking dish, 7-1/4 X 2-1/4 inches or 8 X 1-1/2
inches with a vegetable cooking spray.  Line bottom with a round of
plastic wrap.  Re-spray lightly. 

In small micro-proof bowl combine cocoa and 1/3 cup water; microwave on
high( full power) 40-50 seconds until very hot and slightly thickened. 

In medium bowl combine flour, sugar, baking soda,baking powder and salt. 
Wisk or stir dry ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. 

In another small bowl combine the applesauce, the remaining 1/3 cup hot
water, egg whites,and the vanilla. 

Add the chocolate mixture to the applesauce mixture and blend.  Add the
applesauce/chocolate mixture to the dry ingredients and stir together
with a fork or wisk.  Blend ingredients gently and as little as possible
to achieve mostly smooth batter.  If you overbeat, you will get a
rubbery texture in the cake. 

Pour batter into the prepared pan.  Microwave on high 5-6 minutes
without turning until cake begins to pull away from sides (some moist
spots may remain but will disappear on standing).  Let stand 5 minutes;
invert onto serving plate.  Peel off plastic wrap; cool.  Frost.  Serve. 
Makes 1-8 inch layer.

OMA PANTKES MARMORKUCHEN
========================

White Dough
-----------
250 g       butter
250 g       sugar
500 g       flour
ca. 2 cups  milk
3--4        eggs
15--20 g    vanilla sugar
1 pkg       baking-powder (~2-3 tsp)
1 flask     rum flavoring (~2 tsp)

Instructions:
-------------
Stir butter, sugar, and eggs until foamy.  Sieve flour, and leave about
1 tbsp of it.  Stir flour, milk and rum flavoring into the
butter/sugar/egg mass. 

When the dough is ready, mix the baking-powder with the rest of the
flour and add to the dough. 

Dark Dough
----------
5 tbsp    dark cocoa (the real thing)
7 tbsp    sugar
1 tbsp    soluble coffee
2 tbsp    strong rum
5--10 g   vanilla sugar
1 tsp     baking-powder
1 dash    milk
10 tbsp   white dough

Instructions:
-------------
Mix cocoa, coffee, sugar, rum and baking-powder with a little bit of
milk.  This stuff should be a little bit thicker than the white dough. 
If you accidentally poured a little bit too much milk in the cocoa mass,
you can add a small amount of flour until you have the right
consistency. 

When the cocoa stuff is well blended, add ten good tablespoons of the
white dough and blend well as well.  (funny pun...)

Oil baking pan, and dress with bread-crumbs.  Then fill in alternatingly
white and dark dough. 

Heat oven to 180 deg C and bake one hour and five minutes.

PASSOVER CAKE
=============

Ingredients:
------------
9 e         ggs
1-3/4 cups  sugar
juice and grated rind of one lemon
1/2 cup     potato starch
1/2 cup     matzo cake flour

Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, a moderate oven.

Separate 7 eggs.  Beat whites until stiff but not dry.  Add two whole
eggs to the yolks and start beating.  Gradually add sugar, lemon juice
and rind while continuing to beat.  Add potato starch and matzo cake
flour.

Carefully but throughly fold in beaten whites.  Bake in an ungreased
10-inch tube pan for 40-50 minutes.  Invert pan until cool [If you are
lucky you will need to put it on a wine or Coke bottle].  Remove from
pan.

Variations:
-----------
1) Add cut dried fruit such as apricots, prunes, and raisins.

2) Add chopped nuts.

3) Use orange juice concentrate instead of lemon juice and orange rind
instead of lemon rind [especially good with nuts].

4) Use apricot nectar instead of lemon juice and use chopped dried
apricots.

5) Use nuts and dried fruit.

6) Use only 1/3 cup potato starch and 1/3 cup matzo cake meal.  Add 1/3
cup cocoa powder.  Use up to 3 Tablespoons of Sabra liquer to substitute
for lemon juice [yes you can get it kosher for Passover].

7) Do chocolate substitution and add chocolate chips.

8) Do chocolate substitution and add nuts.

If you use nuts, fruit or chocolate chips, use some of the matzo cake
flour to lightly coat.  Fold in with egg whites and they will not sink
as badly to the bottom.
