Saturday, January 23rd, 2010 Print This Post Print This Post USer rating

4   matzahs
3   eggs
Pinch of salt
½  cup sugar
1   teaspoon cinnamon
½  stick margarine, melted
2   teaspoons cinnamon
½  cup golden raisins (or more to taste)
3   apples (I like to use Cortland, Empire or Ida Reds)
½   cup chopped almonds or grated rind of 1 orange (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel, slice, and chop apples (leave some bigger slices).  Break matzahs into pieces (break in half 2 to 3 times).  Soak matzahs in water until soft (about 5 to 10 minutes).  Drain excess water from matzahs so they remain soggy. Beat eggs lightly with a fork.  Add salt, sugar, margarine and cinnamon to eggs.  Add the egg mixture to the softened matzahs.  Stir in raisins and apples.  Stir in  ½ cup chopped almonds or grated rind of 1 orange.
Bake in 9-inch square baking dish for 45 minutes, until lightly brown.  Add extra apples and raisins on top to taste.

Beat the egg whites with salt until soft peaks form.  Gently fold the whites into the egg yolk mixture.  Pour this batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan.  Bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out dry.  Remove the cake from the oven immediately invert the pan and let it cool.  Loosen the sides and center of the cake with a sharp knife and unmold onto a cake plate.  While the cake cools, prepare the zabaglione and melt the chocolate.  Serve slices of pan di spagna with zabaglione.  Drizzle with melted chocolate and garnish with sliced strawberries.
