Ingredients

Pesach Coffee Cake

  • 7 eggs, separated

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 2 and 1/2 teaspoons Haddar Baking Powder

  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice

  • 1 and 1/2 tablespoons Baron Herzog Chenin Blanc or other semi-dry white wine or gluten free chocolate liqueur

  • 1 and 1/4 cups Gefen Potato Starch

  • 1/4 – 1/3 cup grated good quality parve (non-dairy) chocolate

Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

  • 3/4 tablespoon oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon prepared coffee

  • 1 tablespoon hot water

Directions

Prepare the Cake

1.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

2.

Add egg whites one by one to the mixer while it is on the lowest speed. After all the whites are added, raise the speed to medium for 30 seconds and finally to the highest speed. Add the sugar and salt gradually and continue beating until soft peaks form. Set aside.

3.

Beat yolks until light and lemony. Add oil and mix together. Lower speed and add the baking powder, then the liquids alternately with the potato starch. Don’t overmix. Fold in the whites gently, just until incorporated. Fold in the grated chocolate.

4.

Grease a tube pan just on the bottom. Pour batter into pan and bake for 30–35 minutes or until golden. Cool before slicing.

Tips:

Use a vegetable peeler to grate your chocolate and grate it over a plastic soup bowl for easy transfer and clean up.

Notes:

Sifting the potato starch over the mixer as you add it to the batter will result in a lighter, more uniform cake. 

Variation:

  1) Use chocolate liqueur instead of the wine. 2) Instead of the grated chocolate, fold in a finely grated apple and add cinnamon and vanilla sugar to taste. 3) Sub 1/4 cup of cocoa powder (or more) for same amount of potato starch for a chocolate cake. Add another tablespoon of oil to keep the cake moist

Prepare the Glaze

1.

Whisk together confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, oil, and coffee.

2.

Add the hot water and whisk together until combined.

3.

Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Hi Sara, this recipe is for Pesach Glazed Coffee Cake- no peach here 🙁
If you’re looking for a peach glaze, I’d recommend using the filling recipe from here https://www.kosher.com/recipe/maple-peach-crisp-with-pecan-streusel-1960, adding a few Tbsp. of water and boiling the mixture down until it’s runny and thick.

I think she may have been asking for the Pesach glaze as listed in the title but not listed in the recipe.

Please clarify The video and the recipe show different ingredients and different amounts. which is the right one? The video shows only coffee the recipe calls for coffee liqueur- and in different amounts. The video shows ground nuts and the recipe doesn’t? The recipe says 7 eggs the video only calls for 6? Are these the same recipes? Which one should I follow? Thank you!
