NO-CHOLESTEROL PASSOVER ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Ingredients:

ï1-3/4 cups sugar (I use a bit less) ï1-1/4 cups matzo cake meal ï2 Tbsp finely grated orange zest ï1-3/4 cups egg whites (about 12 large eggs) ï1/2 tsp salt ï2 Tbsp orange juice

Combine 3/4 c sugar, matzo cake meal & orange zest in bowl. Beat egg whites and salt in large mixer bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with orange juice. Beat well after each addition. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.

Fold in matzo meal mixture, 1/4 at a time. Use 15 under-and-over strokes for each addition, slightly turning the bowl after each stroke. Fold an additional 10 strokes.

Pour batter into ungreased 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 325 degrees 50 minutes to an hour, or until cake springs back to touch. Remove from oven, immediately invert pan & cool.

Here's another recipe that has become a Passover staple in my house. It's a variant of a recipe written by Harriet Roth and appears in her cookbook "Deliciously Low". It tastes remarkably like a noodle kugel. People won't believe it hasn't got any noodles.

CABBAGE SOUFFLŠPUDDING

Serves 8----1 cup servings

Ingredients:

ï3 lbs green cabbage ï3 apples, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped ï1 cup raisins ï2/3 cup hot orange juice ï1 Tbsp lemon juice ï1/4 cup frozen unsweetened apple juice concentrate ï1/3 cup broth ï1/2 cup matzo meal ï1 tsp cinnamon ï8 egg whites ï1/8 tsp cream of tartar ï1/2 tsp salt ïcinnamon ïnutmeg

Rinse cabbage, core and shred coarsely like wide noodles. Cover with boiling water, add salt and bring to a boil. Simmer until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Drain well and spread out to cool on a baking sheet. Squeeze dry, by handfuls, and place in a large mixing bowl.

Add apples, raisins, orange juice, lemon juice, apple juice concentrate, and broth and mix gently.

Sprinkle matzo meal and cinnamon over the cabbage mixture and combine. Beat egg whites & cream of tartar in a separate bowl until stiff (holds a peak). Fold egg whites into cabbage mixture and turn into a 2-quart rectangular casserole that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.

Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon & nutmeg and bake 1 hour in a 350 degree preheated oven.
