This moist, gluten-free cake celebrates the flavors of haroset.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs, separated 
  • 2 cups superfine almond flour, sifted 
  • ¼ cup sweet kosher wine
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder, kosher for Passover
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped
  • 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced into ¼-inch pieces
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp honey, to glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and line an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, almond flour, wine, baking powder, cinnamon and kosher salt. 
  3. Add the walnuts and chopped apples to the almond flour mixture, folding with a rubber spatula to combine. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the egg whites and sugar. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the almond flour mixture, ½ cup at a time, folding between each addition until fully incorporated.
  6. Transfer to the springform pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven, and use a pastry brush to brush the honey on top.
  8. Let cool in the pan, and slice to serve.
