Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cut parchment paper to line the bottom of a 10 inch tube pan. Do not grease the pan.
- In a medium bowl, whip egg yolks until light. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and orange zest; continue whipping until thick and pale, about 7 minutes. Sift together the matzo cake meal and potato starch; set aside. In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, continuing to beat until whites form stiff peaks. Fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture alternately with the juice. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the batter, then quickly fold in remaining whites until no streaks remain. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cake springs back to the touch. Invert onto a wire rack to cool. Run a knife around the sides of the cake before removing from the pan.

SPONGE CAKE
Because they can be made using matzo cake meal instead of flour, sponge cakes have long been favorite Passover desserts. This recipe, which is brought to us by senior producer Lisa Wagner, was first prepared by Lisa's grandmother Rea.

- Heat oven to 325 degrees with rack in center. Whisk together matzo cake meal, potato starch, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat yolks and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until thick and pale yellow. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with juice and zests.
- In the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitter with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until foamy. With machine running, gradually add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the salt. Continue beating until soft peaks form. Remove from mixer. Gently but thoroughly, fold egg whites into yolk mixture in two additions.
- Pour into a nonstick 10-inch tube pan. Bake until golden, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, and invert onto a narrow necked bottle. Let stand until cool, about 1 hour, before removing pan. Will keep covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar.

SEVEN LAYER CAKE FOR PASSOVER
This is a style of cake that is claimed by many cultures, each with a different name depending on heritage or the state you are standing in. A few popular iterations are Dobos Torte (Hungarian), Doberge Cake (New Orleans) and Seven-Layer (which I think of as a Jewish cake from New York, but as soon as I write this, I'm sure I'll hear from folks who will correct me). My cake is a bit of a twist on the theme, because I thought the poppy seeds would be a fantastic match for the layers of orange scented sponge cake and chocolate buttercream. It is also stunning to cut into the cake and see the speckled icing. I replaced the caramel with curls of chocolate on top of the cake.

Steps:
- To make the sponge:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare two baking sheets by greasing them and lining with parchment.
- Sift the matzo cake meal, potato starch and salt together, set aside. In a mixer whip the eggs and sugar, for about 8 minutes.
- The eggs should be very light in color and a thick foam. At the very end, add the vanilla and zest.
- Sift the dry ingredients over the egg foam.
- Very gently, but thoroughly, fold the dry ingredients into the egg foam.
- Pour the batter into one of the prepared pans and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the cake for about 18 minutes or until golden and dry when poked with a cake tester. Repeat with the second cake layer.
- To make the buttercream:
- In a small pot, fitted with a candy thermometer, heat 2 cups sugar, water and cream of tartar to 242 degrees F. This will take several minutes, so get your eggs started.
- Whisk together the eggs, yolks and 1/3 cup sugar. Beat the eggs on medium high speed until light in color and thick.
- Once the sugar has reached 242 degrees F, add it very carefully and slowly to the eggs, while the beater is going on slow speed. Be sure to pour the syrup along the edge of the bowl, not directly onto the beater or it will splatter. Continue beating the egg mixture on medium-high speed until the eggs have cooled, about 8 minutes.
- Once the eggs are cooled, add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time. The mixture will go through a stage when it looks soupy and curdled, but keep adding the butter and it will come together. After all the butter is added, mix in the vanilla.
- The buttercream will be smooth and glossy.
- Divide 1/3 of the buttercream into a separate bowl and add the poppy seed paste.
- To the remaining buttercream, add the melted chocolate.
- If you are not going to use the buttercream right away, cover it and leave it at room temperature for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to use it, give it a good stirring or put it back in the mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until smooth.
- To make the soaking syrup:
- In a small saucepan heat the sugar, water and zest over medium heat until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Cut each sheet of cake into 4 equal pieces (they will be about 4 inches wide and 12 inches long).
- Lay the first layer of cake on the serving platter and brush with the soaking syrup. You want to dab the syrup on, but don't overly saturate the cake or it will be soggy.
- Spread a thin layer of the poppy seed buttercream over the soaked layer.
- Repeat with 5 more layers and then finish with the 7th layer of cake. This will leave you with one extra. Since my cake is not traditional anyway, you should feel free to use up that last layer. If you want to keep it to seven layers, then I suggest you use that lonely extra layer as a snack.
- If your layers need squaring up, just trim them with a sharp serrated bread knife.
- Stir the chocolate buttercream to make sure it is smooth and cover the entire cake in a nice even layer.
- It is okay if it isn't perfectly smooth, because we're going to add some rough stripes to the outside.
- Take a small blob of buttercream on the end of your spatula,
- and starting at the end of the cake, on the bottom, spread that blob in a stripe along the cake. Repeat over and over again, but alternate which side you start on. Repeat this on the top as well.
- You will end up with rough stripes all over the cake, which gives the cake some texture.
- Using a sharp chef's knife, scrape the smooth side of a bar of chocolate with the blade, so that the chocolate curls up. If the chocolate is very cold and brittle, try sitting it in the sun for a few minutes and the curls will come more easily. Cover the top with the chocolate shavings.

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.
PASSOVER LEMON SPONGE CAKE
This cake is great for Passover because it uses matzah meal flour instead of regular white flour. It also includes neither butter nor leavening agents. If you cannot find potato flour or matzah meal flour, all-purpose flour will work just fine. However, it wouldn't be kosher. A good sponge cake needs a great deal of air beaten into the eggs.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch angel food cake pan.
- Beat the egg yolks into a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add the sugar until completely incorporated. Beat in the orange juice, lemon zest, and orange zest. Sift the potato flour and matzo cake meal together in a bowl; gently stir into the egg yolk mixture.
- Beat the egg whites in a bowl with the salt using an electric mixer on high speed until stiff and shiny. Use a rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Gently run the spatula through the center of the mixture, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining egg whites, folding until just incorporated. Gently pour the batter into the prepared angel food cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cake is set and lightly browned, about 1 hour. Remove from oven, invert the pan, and let cool completely before removing the cake from the pan.
